I was at a sporting event the other night which was advertising as being $1 drink and dog night. Supposedly they had sodas, beers, and hot dogs for a dollar each. They had numerous signs saying this promotion was held every Friday and even a huge tarp over one section of the seats advertising it.
So I got in line. While in line, I saw the lady take the sign down. Then when I got up to the window, she said the promotion was until 8:00 only and I'd have to pay regular price ($4 per dog and $5 per drink).
First, I don't recall seeing "only until 8:00" on ANY of the advertisements for it. Second, I was in line way before 8. The line was huge, obviously, so I had been waiting awhile. Shouldn't just being in line make me eligible for the deal?
I guess what I'm wondering is if this is a sort of bait-and-switch?
