MANASSAS, Va. -- The bag of Popeyes fried chicken, red beans and rice, and cole slaw was already in my car, when I noticed the tiny sign on the drive-thru window: "57 cent service fee added to all sales over $5."
Right next to it was another sign reading, "Pay less with cash. Receive a 60 cent cash discount on cash sales $5 and over."
Rather than ask the employee at the window to explain, or hand back my tempting chicken, I charged the meal and drove away, wondering if I'd been ripped off.
Between bites of chicken I scanned the receipt.
There it was, beneath the order, subtotal, and tax.
A $.57 fee labeled "ESF."

ReplyDeletedoesn't seem to me he was whining. Just alerting others to another weird 'fee'.
