Ok folks, new take on the Upselling strategy…
McD: Hi Welcome to McDonalds, what can we make for you today?
Me: I’d like a Big Mac please…
McD: Would you like to make it a meal?
Me: Uh, why uh, YES, I will make it meal…but tell you what, let me have 72,689 Big Mac Meals please…
McD: Uh, sir, are you sure you would like those many meals?
Me: Yeah, I like to have those, but only supersize 37,192 of those, 18,772 w/Coke, 9,012 Diet Coke, 6,766 Mr. Pibb, and the rest of them Sprite…of the other 35,497 meals, 21,445 cokes, 10,674 diet coke, 2,227 Mr. Pibb, and the rest of them Sprite…Oh and can I also get one cup of water to go with that, I’m kind of thirsty.
McD: Uh, sir…
Me: Wait, I’m not done yet…can I get 15,834 Cobb Salads, 129,455 apple pies, 899,203 fudge sundaes, 398,033 w/nuts. I think that about does it. I’m in a bit of a hurry though, I can only wait for about 5 minutes…
McD: Uh, sir…
Me: You want me to repeat it? Ok, I want 72,689 Big Mac Meals…
McD: SIR!
Me: What?
McD: We don’t have that much food or time to complete your order!
Me: Then why the hell are you trying to “Upsell” me?
McD: Because I have to…
Me: Then tell your manager he needs to think things through and not be such a money grubbin’ scumbag by subjecting us “poor, feeble-minded, schmucks” to suggestive sales tactics…
McD: Uh, I’ll try…
Me: Well then I would like 192,873 McChickens…
McD: Ok, sir…I get your point.
Me: Cool! I’d like one Big Mac please.
McD: Would you like fries with that?
Me: Sure, 18,992,763 large fries…are you that f’n programmed, or what?
McD: Oooops, sorry sir. That comes to $3.22 at the first window, please.
Me: Thanks!
