Bottom line, I don't think the HH incident was "a rip off of major proportions".
I also think it was not a rip off BUT at the same time most people do not read every caveat on a menu as you do. I think most are just trying to decide what is appealing to them at that mealtime.
Many times as the second quoter (yabbadu) stated that when in a group one may not read the menu cover to cover and I agree that a good waiter/waitress if well taught would be kind enough to mention a difference in the price.

The food is very good there and experience in dining out is very helpful when ordering.
