| - What a dump.
This place was already fighting for an "average" rating - poutine with cold cheese and soggy fries, cardboard pizza, miserable depressing Cold-war era ambience, creepy stares from the people who work there, and then this happens:
I stroll in at 2 AM looking for a poutine and smoked meat sandwich. If you buy them separately, it's $20, but they have a Couche-tard menu that features a poutine and smoked meat sandwich as a combination for $9.95. So I order that, and so does a buddy who's with me.
When the bill comes, it's over $20 a person. I mention this to the waitress: "Isn't it $9.95 for the smoked meat sandwich/poutine combination?" To which she replies "Well, you ordered the smoked meat sandwich and poutine. To get the special, you had to order the smoked meat sandwich AND poutine." Obviously I tried to point out the idiocy of her argument and suggested it was in bad faith to navigate the customer to the same dishes at the higher price.
So at this point, I'm realizing that arguing with a girl who accepted $4 an hour to wait tables at this asshole-of-despair shithole in the middle of the night is like engaging in a philosophical discussion with my dog, so I tell her to forget it, and bill me whatever she wants.
In a stroke of genius, she decides to go ahead and bill us both $9.95 as opposed to $20. Too late, Chenoys! Damage done. Good riddance desperate shithole, enjoy obscurity.
