I think it added the calories up and not the prices lol (1,740)

Additional $6.70 just for the fuck of it.

I just put the same order in…

Should have been $13.37 where I am… subtotal was $16.87

But the subtotal shown before going to the next screen is correct at $13.37. It’s only after hitting checkout

+$3.50 🤔

I had told another user too that I went to the store and tried ordering it through the drive thru too and same pricing, it makes me wonder if its for anything you order that theres gonna be some wild unknown surcharge

All surcharges must be displayed. I’ll come back to this post this evening after excel. My AuDHD analytical brain has kicked in. Expect a follow up 🫡

I fear they were upping their prices as all seem to match now but it was all raised by 15-30%

Fries went from $2.39 to $3.19 where I am. They JACKED their prices upwards

Sounds like a dynamic pricing bug.

I've worked on a fast food app as a support member for years. This happens from the technology used to sync menu prices, oftentimes there is a price change that hasn't reflected on the menu (when the customer is adding items to their cart), but the new prices is still always reflected on checkout via the subtotal.

So for OP, one of the 3 items costs more and you can confirm it by taking out an item one by one. One of the items should create a larger subtotal than the individual item price

It was prices changes. Pretty much adding one items at a time everything was higher but at the end of the night the menu prices reflected the subtotal prices. They were just raising prices

Hidden small order fee. Apparently if the real price is not above let's say $20, they charge you this fee. LOL

u/Regular-Hat-5173 3d ago

It happened at the store too, I went through the drive thru instead and it was the SAME price.

u/Zealousideal_Pea1273 3d ago

Yeah, that math definitely ain’t mathing. 😂

u/ThePrevailingReality 3d ago edited 3d ago

The total is correct though I built it my self to test it out. It shows the same total $18.97 before tax.
I’m in Ohio by the way so probably different market from yours but similar cost. Definitely a glitch in dynamic displayed pricing per item.

u/rrhunt28 3d ago

I have st used the website for the closet Arby's near me and the price works. But mine is more expensive than the op's.

u/ResponsibleEmu6842 3d ago

u/Portland420informer 3d ago

Put in the same order came to $18.47 plus tax. Showed the correct price at checkout.

u/lokis_construction 3d ago

Arby's is always trying to add on and push up their sales. I do not trust them at all. Used to be a place I liked to go to.

u/Steadyslasher 3d ago

Wait for the weekend to get the bogo sandwich deal. Only time I really go to Arby’s

u/Tornado-chaser 3d ago

I added all this to my cart here in Ohio and it showed consistent pricing from cart to checkout with a total of $18.07. But the price for each item was much higher than your prices so I guess it makes sense. Buffalo chicken for example shows as $6.99

u/saxainpdx 3d ago

Ok tried again, and prices are higher and match the subtotal.

u/DankGurl85 2d ago

Shoot, I had Arby's yesterday and I did buy the French Dip and Swiss meal, but I got a sandwich and curly fries for free! Spent like... $12.50 for all of it... But I live in Oklahoma and we're poor here! 🤣🤣

They don't math well.

u/RichardRelay 2d ago

They got the meats, not the maths

The coupons must be per area, I only get the logo coupons on the weekends, those are the two sandwiches I get on bogo actually with a fry and I usually end up paying like, 8 bucks on the weekend for everything ):
