Letter: Wings Over Chapel Hill screwed me over

TO THE EDITOR:

I believe Wings Over Chapel Hill is a negative force on our campus community and must be stopped.

The other day, I ordered four pounds of boneless wings: two pounds of Jamaican jerk and two pounds of level three buffalo.

Before ordering, I asked whether the four pounds would be weighed before or after cooking.

I was given a firm answer that the wings were to be weighed after cooking.

Just for crystal clarity, I verbally confirmed:

“So, you are hereby claiming that I shall receive four pounds of cooked wings with my order, and if I weigh them upon delivery they shall weigh no less than four imperial pounds.”

The employee confidently responded:

“Yes, I hereby claim that you shall receive four pounds of cooked wings with your order.”

Lo and behold, I find myself staring at the menacing figure of three-and-a-half.

Three-and-a-half pounds of wings.

For the price of four.

I felt lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon wheel rut. I had been the cruel subject of a diabolical deception.

Please, call this amoral company out on its poor practices with the most noble public platform of the DTH.

It is your responsibility to ensure a well-informed public and Chapel Hill community to help build a better world.
