I stumbled into Joe's the other night about 2am happy to have found something open, hot and cheap. I certainly wasn't expecting greatness, but my happy mood was definitely dampered when I ended up paying much too much for what I got.
I had foregone Daisy's 24 hour diner just up the road, thinking a slice would be less costly, but after the guy at the counter added the "late night" fee to my very mediocre, who knows how long they had been sitting there slices I would have been much better off dropping my money at the diner or elsewhere.
The "late night" fee wasn't posted or printed and prices were unclear (I thought I was getting $1.75 slices and they were $3.00 each). I didn't want to be a jerk and say I didn't want the old, not very good slices after he had already reheated them, but I felt taken advantage of when he popped the substantial price increase on me. It definitely seemed a little shady. The guy just shrugged and said, "It's more at night".
If you have to go to, or just really like Joe's, make sure you know what they're going to charge you before you get it, but for all the trouble it's worth, you'd be better giving your business to a more honest place.
