Did a Charlotte nightclub really charge $6 for a to-go box? Here's what we know

A to-go box fee listed on a Charlotte nightclub receipt has sparked a viral debate about how much is too much to pay for a meal out. An Instagram user who goes by the name Her Soles reposted a photo of a receipt from STATS Charlotte , which included a $28 dollar charge for Cajun chicken alfredo – and a $6 charge for a to-go box. It also included $1.02 service fee and 15% gratuity, bringing the total bill to $43.27. “$43 for some Alfredo by itself?????” the caption reads. “$12.12 extra for gratuity, a to-go box and a service fee is crazy! I would have told them to keep it. I’ll eat somewhere else.” More than 700 people responded — and many agreed with the original poster — with several commenters saying they would have left the club rather than paying the fees. “$6 for a to-go box is criminal,” Ashley Boulos commented. “Imma stuff the alfredo in my pocket just to prove a point.” “The way I would’ve walked out with the plate and silverware, the glass too,” a user named Nelle wrote. But not everyone sided with the majority. “OK, I hear y’all but STATS food is

Mecklenburg, Discovery Place reach ‘tentative' nature museum deal, manager says

Mecklenburg County has reached a tentative agreement with Discovery Place to settle a dispute over a revamped south Charlotte nature museum. But some county commissioners still have reservations. County Manager Mike Bryant told commissioners at their Thursday meeting the nonprofit museum group is now able to pay back almost $14 million owed to the county within five years. The debt stems from about $14.6 million the county agreed to lend Discovery Place in early 2024 to help cover the construction of a revamped nature museum in Freedom Park . The county owns the property and facility on Sterling Road near the Dilworth and Myers Park neighborhoods. Discovery Place has long operated the museum. The money was due to the county in late October, but Bryant informed commissioners at an Oct. 6 meeting that Discovery Place couldn’t make the payment. Commissioners expressed dismay with the situation, threatening to take control of the museum’s operations and hold Discovery Place in default for the money. Board chair Mark Jerrell formed an ad hoc committee to figure out what the county was willing to agree to, and that group asked county staff to explore an independent financial review of Discovery Place’s operations, assets and
