"The restaurant uses questionable practices at the ordering counter, which I suspect are part of corporate training. My experience began with the "Choose 2" meal, priced at $9.59, which included a half sandwich and a side of soup. The employee asked if I wanted a pickle spear but didn't mention that it would cost an extra $1.50. When I ordered a soda, I wasn't made aware of the two size options, which were either too small or too large. Unfortunately, I was automatically charged for the larger size, which came to an unexpected $3.69! I also wanted a cookie, which had no price tag. I thought it would be inexpensive due to its size, but I was mistaken—the cookie was $2.25! Throughout the ordering process, there was no display showing the prices, so my seemingly simple "Choose 2" meal ended up costing a surprising $18.58! I won't be returning to McAlister's Deli, not just because of the high prices, but also due to the mediocre quality of the food."
