‘Check your receipts,’ Chick-fil-A diner warns after noticing extra fee on her bill – she wasn’t only charged for food

A CHICK-FIL-A customer was left raging after finding that she had been charged an additional fee on her order.

Taking to TikTok , the fast-food lover from Philadelphia called out the chain and urged fellow Chick-fil-A customers to check their receipts.

In the clip , she called the chain “out of hand” for charging her an additional $0.10 with her mobile order.

“I place a mobile order just french fries and a drink. Why the f*** did I get charged for the bag?” the TikToker fumed.

“What’s next? You gonna charge me for the french fry container?

“You gonna charge me for the potatoes? You gonna charge me to park in your parking lot? Like, What’s next?”

The furious customer showed a picture of the receipt of her online order confirming the additional charge for the paper bag her food was in.

“I’m so over it…Y’all start looking at your receipts,” she told viewers.

“Try and see if you’re getting charged for your bags because…I get it at the stores that you go shopping at that ban bags but like this is food.

“What am I supposed to do? Walk out holding it? Like what do you want? I can’t – I’m so annoyed.”

“COUNT YOUR DAYS CFA,” she added in the caption to her rant.

In the comments she added that the app did not ask her if she wanted a bag for her food and Chick-fil-A “just added it” to her order.

Fellow lovers of the Georgia-based chain were shocked at the move calling it “crazy.”

“Crazy they charged. You got a paper bag. Grocery stores charge because of plastic bags but this is ridiculous,” one wrote.

“I don’t mind paying for bags and cups if it keeps food prices down, but 10 cents for 1 bag is ridiculous,” another said.

“People will say it’s only a dime, but add all the customers together, it’s profit now vs helping exp.”

“Packaging is the cost of doing business, it should be built into the price of the meal however there is no reason for these outrageous prices & fees. Like u said, it’s all profit when charging 10 cents,” a third wrote.

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Chick-fil-A for comment.

Other states enforce a single-use plastic bag ban including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, and New York.

It is not only Chick-fil-A that is getting backlash for following such waste laws.

Last month, The U.S. Sun reported about how Starbucks customers are furious with a new packaging change impacting their drinks.

The coffee chain is using fiber-based compostable cups with dome-shaped lids for their drinks in 24 stores that fall under the plastic waste laws.

Meanwhile, Kroger has upset shoppers by removing the handles from their bags.
