Am sure, a big percentage of Qatar residents have eaten in Burger King. If so, have u ever ordered a meal, which they say is Qr. 17 with fries and coke, as soon as you say "Yes" to a meal, then quickly without hesitation, they ask you "Medium or Large" for the drink, without telling you that there will be an additional charge for the medium or large. They add Qr. 2 or 4 for the medium or Large. Most customers arent aware that they charge you extra without informing you and you end up paying the extra bucks not knowing.
When I asked the sales person, of the charge, he had a funny grin on his face, as if to say, ah you caught me. well we are sorry we didnt tell you that there will be extra charge, next time we will inform you.
The next time too, I just ordered a meal and it was the same story of charging you extra without informing the customer that there will be an additional charge.
Beware of this trick by Burger King.
So next time you order a meal from Burger King or Mac, just check out this trick of theirs. Lets us know if you have experienced this too.

Yup, like ordering a burger that had cheese as a genuine ingredient and then they will ask you ... With cheese??!

Well I think it's common sense to ask for the price of an upgraded package. I've been dining out and whenever they ask that question, I always ask how much the additional payment would be.

Maybe it's because we have different lifestyles that's why some will just say yes to whatever question and just pay without knowing how much they're adding to the regular price. I'm just too thrifty that's why I'm cautious with money and payments.
