P.F. Chang's

Great gluten-free options

This place calculates suggested tips on ala cart prices, even if you order from their prix fixe menu. Imagine going to a restaurant where your main dish comes with 2 sides for x price, but then the suggested tip is calculated as if you purchased two ala cart sides and your main dish. That would make no sense. Imagine buying a kid's meal that comes with a drink and side, and the tip being calculated as if you purchased a drink and side ala cart in addition to the child's main dish. It would make no sense to program your POS machine to do this. I have Celiac disease and needed a quick gluten-free meal. My husband and I ordered the Chef's Feast. It's a $19.49 pp prix fixe menu that comes with soup or salad, a main and an appetizer to share. If items are marked gluten-free and you ask them to be gluten-free, they're subject to a $1 each upcharge. The meal was mediocre and I ended up drinking my husband's water because I couldn't get a refill from staff - not even the manager guy who was rearranging soy sauce bottles on empty tables. When the check came, my husband noticed that PF Chang's is lying about the dollar amounts being certain percentages on the bottom of the check. See photo. **** The receipt read: Subtotal $40.98 Tax $3.43 Total $44.41 Balance Due $44.41 For Your Convenience, Suggested tip before any discounts: 20% ($14.44) 22% ($15.88) 25% ($18.05) **** $8.196 is 20% of $40.98. (Pre-tax total.) $8.882 is 20% of $44.41 (Taxed total.) $14.44 is 35.24% of $40.98. $14.44 is 32.52% of $44.41. This is so shady because tourists, especially foreign tourists, may be too worried about being rude to not put down the amount suggested on the receipt. It's dishonest. Visited: August 2024
