      On 9/24/2023, my co-worker went to pick up some lunch at ************************************************************************************************* Phone number ************ We ordered 20 pieces of chicken tender, and they charged ** $42.98 which I was shocked, and more shocked when I only found 10 pcs in the bag. I called the store immediately, and the store manager, and left messages on both, but no reply. I checked online and could not find even a price listed for what we ordered. A few days later I went to another location by my house and ordered the same but 10 pcs, and it came out to be ***** plus tax. I left several messages with the store manager and this is the second time I'm writing to you guys about this. Its not the money that I'm worried about, but more the principal of this situation. I was telling my co-workers how wonderful these chicken tenders were and after paying an exorbitant amount of money for 20 pcs of it, and only getting 10 pcs, I could not back up my claim.

      I understand that the price may vary from different franchise.  However, the price is not published on their website, not on their menu at each location.  and from the price he mentioned 20 pc is $32.49., then later emailed me back saying that its $42.98.  And I've visited several locations here in my city which is about 20 miles away, and its $11.99 for 10 pc, which would make it $23.98 for 20 pcs.  It is a 30% price difference within a 20 mile distance.
