Do your McDonald charge for sauce?

[DCal430]

Besides the 1 to 3 packets you get with nuggets or strips does your McDonald charge for sauce like ranch or sweet and sour. The ones here charge 50 cents each, kind of a rip off. Even extra ketchup isn't free, 50 cents for that too. Stupid.

Not that I am a frequent McD's customer, but I have never seen anyone charged for a reasonable number of ketchup packets. I have seen people charged for ranch when it doesn't come with any item they ordered (for example, asking for ranch when they ordered a burger and fries).

Here they usually give 2 or 3 for each item, if you ask for more then they start charging.

I have seen them charge for extra nugget sauces, but I have never seen them charge for ketchup. Maybe it is decided by store or region.

Not here (israel)...
but they charge In Cyprus Ayia napa or Bulgaria (Varna) , i cant remmber which one exactly, it was before 2-4 years...

Or local one will charge if you want to buy the sauce separately. It was only like 35 cents for a packet of the sweet - sour-sauce. The wife will like to buy extra to keep them on-hand since or youngest child loves the sweet - sour sauce. Sometimes the wife gets a happy meal with the chicken nuggets and we get home and they forget the sauce so we hear about it from or youngest. So it is just easier to pay a couple of dollars and keep some extra sauces in stock at home in-case they forget.

Here they used to give free water, my employee would order one. but then they switched to bottle water lol. Smart move.

Charging for sauce packets sucks ass. In my area, it's hit or miss, some do and some don't. Usually the ones who do charge will have a sign up saying you X # of packets with nuggets and anything else is .35 or so each.

yeh it do.

They charge for extras or ones that do not come with the meal.

Go to any ghetto fast food place and expect to see not even napkins out.

The poor are evil.

We get Nugget sauce and ketchup free here in Canada, my part of Canada anyway.

I understand if they charged extra for packaged sauces but not ketchup. I don't eat fast food anymore but when I did when I was young, it was the reason I liked places like Wendys where you just pump ketchup into a small paper cup.

All the ones that I've ever gone too didn't charge for sauce. Sure they were sometimes stingy, and you had to keep asking for more sauce, but they didn't charge for it.

However I just moved, and the nearest mcdonalds charges 25 or 50 cents (can't remember) for any more sauce above the default amount. 2 for 10 nuggets, 3 for twenty. Great math

I don't really eat McDonalds though so it doesn't effect me.

Also some places charge for big mac sauce on the mcdouble, while others don't.

Only if you don't buy any chicken nuggets.
Hot Mustard sauce on fries is tasty.

yeh it do.

I just went to Mc-D's drive-through for lunch today. They always up-sell an apple pie, which I always turn down (I hate ALL such up-sells).

Today, she says, "Would you like a free apple pie." I instinctively said, "No", but shay says, "It's free, really. Free.". I catch myself and say, "Sure, give me a free apple pie"

I guess the apple pies are not selling that well, even with the up-sell.

They no longer sell them 2 for $1, hence fewer people buy them.

That bypass is going to cost a lot more than $.50
