Pizza Hut irritates consumer with misleading box marketing strategy

December 16th, 2008 by Daniel Young | Filed under Life.

Pizza Hut ripped me off today.

I went to the local take away store this afternoon. I wanted an early dinner as I knew that I would be working late. The guy in the shop asked me what size pizza I wanted and pointed towards the empty boxes on the counter. There were four sizes on offer (Small, Medium, Large and Family). I chose Medium. 

I felt mis-led and ripped off when the pizza turned up ten minutes later as it was considerably smaller than the box.

The shop assistant explained that the pizza is as big as the pan – not the box!!!!

What a rip off!

And I forgot to ask for thin crust. Bugger. It was Meat Feast and it was pretty minging.

Exceptionally small fry considering the world’s ills and hardships and better for my waist line (I know) but irritating nonetheless.  

Seems there’s no shortage of Pizza Hut haters out there. I probably shouldn’t expect too much from such a store. The North Sydney outlet is next door to SUBWAY - another brand that I can’t stand.
