I used to be a big fan of Flat Top. I used to go there at least once a month. Then the price went up, you had to pay extra for shrimps, so I started going there less frequently. \n\nI went back there again today for a quick late lunch. Flat top lunch used to be a bargain for lunch take out at $7.50. I went there today and upon paying I got a bill for $8.99 even though on the board it says lunch price is $7.99 for students. I talked to one of the waitresses there and she's like that's just how it is, we just raised the price up EVEN THOUGH on the board it clearly says $7.99. I said that's a shady business practice, you can't charge someone extra for something that's not stated on the menu, and she said she can't do anything about it, and that i'll have to go talk to the manager. I talked to the manager, and he said the price just went up. Again, the board (which displays the menu and the price), says $7.99. Once he found out that I was getting a take out, he said oh the student discount is only for dine in. Again, this is not stated anywhere on the board or in the menu. I used to come here a lot, and I always got student discount with take out. \n\nI was not pleased with the tone of the manager and his sketchy business practice, so I just decided to dine in. A new, very nice waiter came by and apologized for everything. she was really nice and was sorry for how I was being treated. She got me the dine in plate and asked if I want to box it to take it home, and that's what I did. \n\nThe extra $1 doesn't mean much. I gave that away as a tip to my amazing waitress. I'm just against shady business practices.\n\nAnd the food? the food is great. Service is usually good. I've dealt with the manager two times, and I felt like he's a rude and shady person.
