Why?
The OP didn't say she threw a strop or was difficult:

Has anyone noticed how, on a 2 for 1 deal where there are 4+ diners on one bill, that the pairings are made to benefit the restaurant's pocket? At a Marston's pub recently the four on my table ordered food costing approx £16 (2), £14 (1) and £10 (1). The restaurant gave the £14 and £10 meals free and charged the 2 most expensive when they could have paired the two £16 meals (£16 off) and then the other two (£10 off) giving a total of £26 off instead of the £24 that they calculated. Apparently it could have been done the other, cheaper, way but we needed to state this before ordering - or at lest before the bill was presented. Beware. I wonder if they donate this extra profit to the staff? I doubt it.

Perhaps she just queried why the bill was higher than she expected and when it was explained to her, just said 'Ah. OK. I get it now' then came on here to warn others.
After all, this is the Praise, Vent & Warnings board.

I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn't the case at frankie & bennies.
