China Taste

I live and work in the area. It's Christmas, so it's the only place really open. I called at 11am to order the lunch special when I arrived I gave them a 10 bill and she gave me back some change but no dollars. I said, sorry, I gave you a 10 and she said , it's 9 dollars. I looked at menu again and said that is the dinner, it's lunch at 6.75. they then said I told them the dinner combo. I didn't and also what was in front of me was the lunch portion, They then said and it's Christmas so it's more money. I said where does it say that on your menu. It does not. I also said, then you need to tell people that when they order. They said their regulars know the prices go up on Christmas. This is a tourist area. I am one of those regulars and I never heard that before. I will not be going back there again or recommending it to our guests. I don't care now about the 2.78 as it's the principle of customer relations and not lying to them and then arguing with them. After telling them I will not be recommending them now they changed their minds and gave me a dollar bill back. I couldn't believe they were still trying to rip me off. Still, about the principle. Advice to them, you must honor what is on your menu not off a whim so please place that 'prices may vary during holidays' at least. Advice to everyone else, there are other places way better in this area to eat. I'd go elsewhere.
