(28,498 posts)It ran an ad saying "buy a steak get a free lobster tail." I thought "ALL RIGHT!" I don't usually fire up the barbecue but thought this special would make it worthwhile. It had a long time since I had "surf and turf."
I went into the store to find that all the steaks were packaged two to a package. And the sign in the store read that I would get a free lobster tail with the purchase of one package (two steaks!!!).
I wanted two steaks and two lobster tails for my wife and me, so I clarified with an employee that I would have to buy two packages of steaks to receive two free lobster tails. "Yes," was the answer so I had to buy four steaks to receive the two free lobster tails.
I complained to management that I believed this to be false advertising. I also filled out a customer-comment card.
Well, I still haven't had "surf and turf," and I'm starting to check-out "Natural Grocers" as an alternative to WF.
