## Summary

A Charlotte sports bar, STATS, faced online criticism after a customer said she was charged $6 for a box to take home unfinished pasta. The restaurant responded that the charge reflected the difference between its Wednesday dine-in promotion and the meal’s regular price, not the cost of a container.

The customer, known online as Millionaire Mace, said she was dining in with a group and objected to paying extra for leftovers. Her receipt showed a $28 Cajun Alfredo meal alongside service, gratuity and tax charges, though the restaurant’s website lists the dish at $14 and it is unclear which upgrades or discounts applied. STATS said it would improve how price adjustments appear on itemised receipts; it disabled comments on its statement.
