| - Went there because I'm new in town and I'm a chicken wing, pizza and gyro connoisseur. They have all 3 there. I ordered a gyro ($4.50 alone or $5.00 for the combo) and wings ($7.95). The total came to $15.95 so I stopped the guy and mentioned this. He said the 2 sides of blue cheese was 1 dollar a piece! I was flabbergasted. I mentioned that NO WHERE have I ever been would they charge you 1 dollar a piece! And they were small sides (1 heaping t-spoon). I would pay 75 cents for a side at Genos's in Tempe for 3 times that amount of BC (needed for big orders). Get this though, the guy will charge you 50 cents for substituting blue cheese for the regular side of ranch - because it cost more. Seriously, 10 cc's of blue cheese is something that is too much to include with meal as every other plae that I have ever been to will? Needless to say I cancelled my order. I wonder, was it really worth it for him to lose that business, AND future business?
As I was driving home, I thought about the 50 cents increase for the special. I chose a can of coke instead of the fries. But here's the math: By his logic, the two small sides of blue cheese cost more than 4 cans of coke or 4 orders of fries (0.50 X 4 = the $2.00 for the sides of BC). Crazy.
I may go back for the gryo because it's on my way to school and back, and just around the corner, and it wasn't bad. In a pinch will hit the spot, but it won't be regularly I can tell you that. He could have had a customer a couple times a week and one that bought more than just a gryo being that I love wings and pizza as well. Not just that, buy my roommate and I tend to eat out at the same place. The guy definitely needs better business sense and customer service appreciation.
3 stars for the gryo
1 star for the blue cheese charge
