Fast food places. STOP TRYING TO TAKE MY MONEY

If i say i want a:

Whopper with cheese. That means a whopper with cheese.

That doesn't mean ask ===> Is that a meal or just a sandwich?






Same for Mc Donalds.

Big Mac = A big mac.

If i wanted the meal i would say, "Can i get a #1" or " Can i get a Big Mac meal with a coke"
 
If you have ever worked at one you would know that you are instructed to ask these things.. These people are just doing their job. Say 'no thanks' and move on.
 
I've tried "All I want is _____" or "I want ______ and that's it" which work sometimes. Another solution is to eat there often enough that the employees recognize you, but that's clearly not a good solution with fast food.
 
When I worked fast food I asked that question not because I wanted to make a sale, but because more often then not people would complain "WHERES MY FRIES AND DRINK YOU BASTARD."

Or just pre-emp them by ordering something that doesn't come as a meal like something off the dollar menu 😛

That doesn't work. they will ask, "would you like fries and a drink with that"

1. As said, about half of the reason is upselling. The other half of the reason is the fat lady who returns to the counter 3 seconds after receiving her order demanding that she gets the entire meal because that's what she wanted, and she doesn't care if she only paid for the sandwich, she always gets the meal and they should know that. Why would anyone just want a whopper. I want my french fries extra large, and I want my extra large coke with that. And make me a new sammich 'cause this one's gettin cold dammit


2. Answer this way (gotta do it inside so you've got the audience): "Did you say "just a sandwich??! Did I hear that right? Did you just say that the whopper is JUST A SANDWICH???!! The whopper is God Almighty's gift to earth. It's the perfect food. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. MMMmmm MMmm. JUST a sandwich??! It has all four food groups in there, PLUS condiments! JUST a Sandwich??!! James Whitman McLamore, may the Lord rest his sole, is rolling over in his grave. JUST a sandwich??!!! Is the Bible JUST a book? May God have mercy on your soul.
