On 2/27/2015 for lunch,in the drive thru of Hardee's,8400 W. Judge Perez Dr., Chalmette, LA 70043, I saw a sign,



HOT DOG COMBO for $2.89.



I ordered it & at the window when I tried paying that amount, I was told that it wasn't

that amount...it was higher...close to $5.00. I said to the cashier that your sign clearly states ..COMBO...$2.89. I said, "That's false advertisement"; I wanted the manager to know so I put my truck in park right there and went into the store to ask the manager about their sign. I encountered a lady to whom I told I was going to report their sign to BBB for false advertisement and she said that it wasn't false advertisement...that their sign means



"the sandwich only."



I said, "Well your sign says nothing about "sandwich only, it states it's for the combo." I

then asked her to come outside to look at the sign to see what I was talking about..simply SHE REFUSED.

I then asked to speak to the manager and the lady to whom I was speaking WAS the manager. So, I asked for her name

and I asked for the owner's name and phone number. The manager, Melinda, who refused to give me her last name when I asked for it also refused to give me the owner's name or phone number. I told Melinda that I thought that the owner should know that the company's sign is misleading and that I wanted to speak with the owner about this sign.



Melinda kept saying..."that's not the price....the sign is for the sandwich only." She told me to get my truck out of her driveway before she called the St. Bernard Parish police. I told her to call them...I didn't think it was right for them to advertise one price and then the price change when you get to the window.

The St. Bernard police did come, asked me to move my truck out of their driveway and then I showed HIM what I was talking about....he AGREED with me and then told the manager, Melinda, that the sign clearly states "combo for $2.89" and that they might want to change that...he also informed me that he couldn't make them give me the hot dog COMBO for $2.89. The point is that I was not seeing something that was not there....I had a St. Bernard policeman, a man of the law, see the same as I.

He also told me that I could obtain the owner's name at the permits office, which is next step.
