Man, maybe its just my pizza hut, but they never seem to care much about how much they charge for a pizza.
I go there last night with my lady friend to get some pizza. She orders a Supreme personal pan value meal (3 breadsticks and drink for $4.99). I order the same thing for a sausage pizza.
So we get our food, and the waitress is like "THis pizza doesn't have enough cheese on it, we're gonna make you another one." So I get another pizza for free!
Then I get the check, and its for $7. She charged for only my pizza and my girl's meal. She save me like $3.
This isn't the first time like this. I've been there before and got 2 mediums for like $12 (and ~3 in drinks). Well, I get charged for a large for $9 and no charge for the drinks.
Does this ever happen to you? It only seems to happen when I go to pizza hut, no where else. And I end up tipping well, just because I want to thank her for the cheap food (I tipped $3 last night.)

I've never seen that at my local pizza hut (or any other restaurant.) However, my local convenience store has one clerk who always seems to undercharge items.

Homer: Uh, let's see: eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-five...Dealer busts! Looks like you all win again.
Texan: Yee-haw! Homer, I want you to have my lucky hat. I wore it the day Kennedy was shot, and it always brings me good luck.
Homer: Why thanks, Senator! Oh -- looks like my shift is over.
Everyone: Uh oh. [they all leave]

When we first moved to the area we live a waitress at the Pizza Hut used to have them make 2 items for me that weren't even on the menu at that time for me.
Blueberry dessert pizza and Cheeseburger thin crust pizza......

geez - our pizza hut sucks donkey balls. they don't even deliver (in a college town).
Last night at McDonald's I asked for the 2 quarter pounders for $3 and was charged $2.58.

Norman's Pizza Hut did the same thing for us. In fact, my friends who used to go there every other schoolday would get some "special" and free drinks. They called it Pizza Hut B Days (we had a A and B block schedule) and that transformed to Rocky Top B Days because the whole way there they would play Rocky Top on the CD player (don't ask, I don't know).

One time I went to a McDonald's and ordered a couple of large meals for me and some friends. All up, it should have cost around $15 Australian. Anyhow, I gave the young girl working behind the counter a $10 and $5 note, and she gave me $20 in change. So effectively McDonald's paid me $5 to eat their food, which almost makes it worth it in reflection.
Poor girl probably lost her job over the missing money from the register....

I got a great taco bell story.. but i'll spare you the details and cut to the chase..
I'm up over 100 dollars on a local taco bell over 7 visits.. its the same barely speaking english cashier :)
amazingly enough he always gets my order right.. he just always gives back way too much in change for my order :)
So like skydog's philosphy on running backs.. i'm riding this horse till it drops. then taco bell will make that horse into gordita meat..

I had a friend who worked at Pizza Hut while I was in high school (only a few years ago).
Basically, what he told me was that the store had no record of what was sold to each table. So it would be much more profitable for the waiter to charge a family $10, for example. on an order that should be $20+. Most times, people will make the check + tip = the amount it should be. So the waiter makes $10, as opposed to the $3 or 4 he would've otherwise.
