A Kentucky man ordering traditional wings from Zaxby’s noticed a pricing discrepancy that left him questioning the math behind the fast-food chain’s menu. In his post, TikTok creator Alex (@igobuyalex) showed what he said were the prices for different quantities of Zaxby’s traditional wings. His comparison raised the question: Why would a customer buy 20 wings at once when two 10-piece orders appeared to cost dramatically less?
“I’m so confused right now,” Alex said at the beginning of the video. He then suggested that someone should “check on the financials guy or whoever at Zaxby’s” after noticing the different prices. As evidence, Alex shows what appears to be the Zaxby’s pricing on the website. According to Alex’s video, the menu showed five traditional wings for $9.99, while 10 wings cost $10. That meant a customer could get twice as many wings for just one additional cent.
