HAIDILAO's same-store spicy hot pot sold out at a cheaper price on Meituan; is the high flash sale price worth buying? No official response yet

According to media reports, a consumer in Xi'an, Shaanxi, has complained about a local HAIDILAO store. Regarding the same spicy hot pot dish in the store, Meituan showed it as sold out with a coupon, while the flash sale price was slightly higher but available for normal purchase. According to the report, the consumer purchased a Meituan "God Grab" coupon for HAIDILAO, stating, "The coupon is valid citywide, but when I went to use it, I found that the HAIDILAO Yitian store was actually playing tricks, showing that this dry mixed spicy hot pot was sold out, and the coupon couldn't be used." The consumer mentioned that they opened the HAIDILAO on Taobao's flash sale, and the same dry mixed spicy hot pot was still being sold, "The flash sale was about 30 yuan, while the 'God Grab' coupon was only 22 yuan. The same spicy hot pot, the same HAIDILAO, but the flash sale was available at a higher price, while Meituan's cheaper option was sold out." As of the time of publication, HAIDILAO has not responded to the complaint
