Would you like bacon on that cheeseburger? No. Would you like cheese on that sandwhich? No Would you like fries or curly for $.29 extra? No. Would you like a Coke with that? No. :rolleyes: I turn down more food than I order anymore. ---

Other than being asked if I want anything to drink (which makes sense, because people sometimes forget) I’ve never been asked any of those questions before. ---

> [@Cluricaun](#): > > And that sucks because the manager probably wanted to go along with you, but can’t due to the way the register is set up to record orders and sales. When I was a McSlave people used to try the ol “I’ll have a hamburger with cheese” trick, since the price of an extra slice of cheese was less than the price difference between a hamburger and a cheeseburger for whatever reason. > > While I’d have personally had no problem awarding them their silly victory the computer wouldn’t have it. If you entered Hamburger+Cheese it automatically changed it to Cheeseburger. Now a good manager would have just told them to put it through as a cheeseburger order and then told the grill person to hold the cheese or just made it himself good fast food managers are rare as hens teeth. edit - reread your second paragraph and realized it said what I typed - damn sinus drugs. ---

I get asked that type of question all the time. Upselling is a pain, and makes me get all stabby sometimes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/burger-king-stackers/574674.md?page=1)
