Tricky restaurant gimmick

Today is Labor Day holiday, I go with my family to a restaurant for morning brunch dine in, because they have holiday special for order 3 entrees, and get 1 free. So, we did order 3 entrees, and I have to order the 4th one, to get the number 4th item free. Sounds good deal, but they didn't tell you that you can only order dinner items instead of lunch items. Usually, the dinner items are more expensive than the lunch time items, and there were so many restrictions that they didn't tell you fully of this holiday special. Those items I ordered wasn't my favorite, and the favorite I wanted to order can not be included in the special deal list. So, I am telling you, those special deal was all about gimmick, and I don't really like it at all. I might as well avoid going there next time, unless they fully tell me the detail beforehand.

That is how places make their money. They don't fully tell you everything because if they do they think you won't go to the restauraunt and eat, or go to the store and buy.

I fully understand this concept. Totally gimmick, and I just don't want to be tricked this way like that again. I probably won't pick such holiday to dine there again. Because I found that I can get a cheaper and better way of dine in during the lunch hour.
