First time trying Capriotti's and it will definitely be the last. It was a mess from start to finish, where to begin...
First off the sandwich sizes -- 4, 8, 10, 18. Who came up with these?
I ordered inside at the counter, and got two sandwiches to-go, an 8 inch and 10 inch.
Most importantly, I wanted two waters as we had been traveling and needed some hydration. Their standard in-store water cups are the puny 6 oz plastic dixie cups. But since I was taking them to-go, I needed lids for the car and thus asked if I could have a regular cup for the water so it would have a lid. At which point, the employee insisted that if I wanted a regular cup I would need to pay for a fountain drink regardless if it was for water.
I absolutely cannot stand when stores try to charge for tap water. My other thought was, what if I ordered this through the drive-thru? Would you still charge me for water? Not to mention, a regular fountain drink is nearly $3, so for that I could've just gone to a gas station and gotten Fiji water or another fancy bottled water.
He continued to insist that I would need to pay, so I finally succumbed because it had been a long day.
However, in addition to the sandwiches I also got bags of chips and a side of fries. And now that I was being charged for a fountain drink, you'd think the register would automatically make it a combo meal (since they offer those). But NOPE. I had to ask if they could ring it up as a combo since I literally was getting everything that comes with a combo. Thankfully I said something and ended up saving a couple dollars, but the total still came out to over $40 for two sandwiches, two sides and two tap waters. OH AND TO TOP IT OFF, when I got to the fountain machine to fill up the waters, THEY WERE OUT OF ICE.
Overall, an absolutely terrible experience and rest assured I will never step foot in a Capriotti's again.
