Pizza Hut - Dipping Sauce for $1 Each, Really?

Complaint

LEAGUE CITY, TEXAS -- Why when you are ordering $20 pizza box, an additional order of 8 wings and 14 wings, do I then have to pay $1 for each dipping sauce. $45 order cancelled because I wanted 3 dipping sauce but would not pay $1 each. When did dipping sauce become such a big deal?

Pizza Hut is not the only chain joint that charges for dipping sauce. I recently ordered from Papa John's and they whacked me a dollar also for each one. I agree that this should be included. This cost them next to nothing but they want to gouge the customer for every last penny. Do they even consider repeat business when nickel & diming the customer?

Taco Bell gives you all the free sauce you want. Hot, spicy or mild you can load up as much as you like. They treat the customer right.

Because Pizza hut sucks. Sort of like how they advertise any pizza 10 dollars except stuffed crust....well its really not ANY pizza then....

Dominos charges 50 cents for their sauces. $1 is rather steep IMO, but when they're doing that to their customers isn't it hard to dredge up sympathy for them having to provide health care for their workers?

this is the same as with mcd's and bk. they charge for extra sauces too.

The cumulative amount of the order is immaterial, IMO. This isn't like buying a car, and they throw in floor mats for free.

The dipping sauces sound like they are for the wings. They may cost the store $0.25 or so a pop. We know they cost something. I don't see a problem in charging for them, to those willing to pay.

You should get one dipping sauce for every order at no charge. If you want more then yes charge. But to charge for the first sauce is wrong.
