When is 'included' not 'included'?...

When is "with chili sauce not with chili sauce but extra"?
Maybe I'm being petty but it's not only the principal of the thing but the fact it's already included in the price.
So I called & ordered a mixed kebab with chili sauce but on the side as by the time I got up home,the chili sauce would have soaked the bread thru.
No problem....
So I goes & to pick it up...offers the £5 but then told it's £5.50 as I asked for the sauce in a tub!..I argues that they cannot charge extra as the sauce is INCLUDED in the price,The chili sauce is the same as would be on the kebab & when I ordered it at no time was "That'll be 50p extra mentioned" so she toddles off to see the owner who waves the 50p but says next time it'll be £5.50!
And when I got home I discovered it's NOT chili sauce but the same spicy onion relish they give free with the curries!
