happened to me at a different fast food. i say 'it's cool, i'll take care of it, thanks'. or 'why thank you'.
These are two distinctly different answers.
If you've finished the food on it, why would you say anything other than 'Please, thank you.' ?
Where's the "Ask them if they want to raw dog it in the bathroom" option?
I'm pretty sure it's a polite way of saying, you're spending too much time there.
What if the employee is testing to see if you're the kind of guy that would have pawns clean up his mess after him, and will fix your meal differently depending on how you answer? To accept implies that I see my time as more valuable than that of a fast food employee, which is pretty elitist. But of course, there's also the possibility that the employee had nothing better to do or thought I was cute or something, in which case turning down his offer could be hurtful.
