"Try our new FORAGE BURGER! A unique blend of tastes centered around mushrooms and umami! Add cheese [$0.99] or a gluten-free bun [$1.99]!"
Somehow I feel like I actually know less about this burger than I did before I was aware of its existence. Does it actually have mushrooms? If it does, does it also have a normal burger patty? Does it have literally anything else on it? Is it slathered in some sort of special sauce that would be ruined if I asked for ketchup and mustard? Or if I don't add those, will I get a dry burger bun with nothing but mushrooms and maybe beef?
I don’t even care if it has prices on it which is the argument everyone gives. I just want to see if this place offers healthier meal options or if I should eat before going of the group.
A local pizzeria has recently taken their regular menu offline and replaced it with an online order form which is a pain to navigate. Taking my business to the other local pizzeria that has a plain menu online.
I’d rather see what newly featured promotions they have first and then find out my location doesn’t have it than give my location just to browse the menu
still think you should be able to see it though since most of the menu should be the same.
So what happens when you want to have the chicken Alfredo penne because that's on the website menu, but the specific restaurant you are going to doesn't actually have that?
“Menu varies by location” at the top of the menu section.
Also, depending on the size of the chain, different menus for different locations is very feasible (my city has a local restaurant chain that does that).
That’s just two actual options, I am sure someone else can think of more.
different menus for different locations is very feasible (my city has a local restaurant chain that does that)
Yeah...but that requires you to tell the website where you are, even just by which specific restaurant you picked (ie; you're likely in the northwest if you select the northwest location as it's probably selected because it's the closest one to you), which was the initial complaint.
To every company that does this. If I look at the menu ND have to make an account I'm never going to shop there again. I am getting food, not a lobotomy.
this pmo so bad 😭 "delivery or pickup! pick a restaurant/give us your address!" and either I'm telling someone else what I want from there or I'm about to be there and I'm just fucking half blind so I cant see the menu
I decided to go to Burger King for the first time in quite a while. I opened the website and checked the menu to figure out what I wanted before heading out. Added a couple items to the cart and then went to take a screenshot of the cart so I could read it back later. It said I had to create an account to even view the cart!
Fuck that, I went somewhere else. Ruined it instantly for me.
Then create another account to do your onboarding paperwork. And another for your financial paperwork. And another for the app you need to work here. And one more for the authenticator you need for work app to work.
Oh, one more, for our bespoke employee messaging system.
And by hacked what happened was the CEO just used their log in to sell the information directly, but that won't be found out for at least five years. CEO just said they got hacked as a PR stunt.
Or "create an account to use this feature" and then when you create an account you find out the feature costs fucking money so now I created an account for some shitty website I'll never use
This is annoying, but I think part of it is that manufacturers demand that retailers don't visibly price their goods below a certain value. That's part of why some sales will just list "$50 off" and not mention the full or sale price in the ad. Still bullshit, but not the retailer's fault.
They do if they want to be an authorized reseller and get the merchandise through official channels so that their customers get the manufacturer warranty and so that they have the margins to offer a deal at all.
As someone who owns a business with Contact us for pricing I can explain. I own a lawncare company and I offer FREE QUOTES and the prices are only available after contact cause I have no idea what size you lot is, how many obstacles there are, how much edging there is, etc.
Obtaining a quote for service is understandable as prices will vary based on various things. Needing to reach out to a company to obtain the price on a simple and non-customized item is the concern here.
Silly example, but why do I need to call you to get a quote for a ink pen when another store will allow me to add it to my cart and immediately buy it without the additional steps?
The MAP listing excuse goes out the window when you realize that many sites advertise applicable coupon codes on their home page.
I can all but guarantee that if I'm looking to purchase a product a find it listed on a site that requires I register or contact someone for pricing, I'm moving onto the next website without hesitation. And if I don't find that item at other stores or other stores list it as "Out of Stock", odds are I'm pivoting to another item.
And see, that makes sense. Most of these places aren't landscaping companies. They just don't want to advertise their prices and lose you. They think if they just get you on the phone or otherwise engaged, they can talk you into buying their service or product.
I get this, but I still won't go ahead with a business like this because I don't want to get a call where I'm being sold to. At the stage where I'm hitting websites I want a feel for how it costs before I make decisions.
So I need your website to say "we quote individually for every yard, but here's some examples: photo, size a, overgrown y, price range x - z-ish, contact us for an exact quote."
I saw that nonsense for the first time last week when looking for a good source of aluminum extrusion. Was a nice website, but that crap made me order from the next company on the search results.

Put this in the same bucket as "Create an Account for Pricing".
