Whenever a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is, and you should make sure to read the fine print if there is any. Or, in some cases, the larger print right under the deal price.

A woman in Indiana was arrested earlier this month after making a scene at a local Applebee’s. The woman, who was part of a larger group, created a “verbal disturbance” when she was told the $15.99 “All You Can Eat” deal was not good for the entire group but just every individual. I mean, common sense would tell you that’s obviously the case, but I guess she either had none or didn’t know how to read. A closer look at this fine print or this larger print (under the price) makes the deal stipulations pretty clear in my opinion. And again, like, duh. 

The woman eventually was arrested while another person in the group squared away the tab. Hopefully, she ate more than $16 worth, because that bill just went up thanks to having to post bail. 

Now, RTO Insider provides you with some “all you can read” news stories.
