Because it’s long drive back for the driver to get the sauce you choose. 😉 You’re not getting chicken nuggets from McDonald’s since they don’t deliver. ---

If the clerk at McDonald’s is putting sauce in your back, it might be time to start dining elsewhere. ---

> [@7e42](#): > > why can’t Mcdonald’s just put all the sauce options in the bag? lol Laughed out loud at how silly your own question was, did you? When you make the order, say you want one of every kind of sauce. They’ll give you the first two pots gratis, and probably charge for the rest. I’ll point out, however, that two pots of sauce cover your standard 10-piece McNugget serving. There are at least six sauce choices, IIRC. So if you get all the sauces every time, you’re going to be throwing some away. Aren’t you already being wasteful enough with all the paper and crap you’re going to be tossing out anyhow? ---

Well, make a bit of entertainment out of it. When they ask, “What kind of sauce would you like”, say “mango chutney”, “the good stuff”, “surprise me”, or some other random response. ---

You don’t have to wait for them to ask. Just tell them when you order. I’ll bet you make them list them all every time and then repeat them before you mumble some sort of incoherent noise at them. ---

Round here, if you say anything except ketchup, they will charge you for it. That’s why. And then, when you get to the window, you have to ask for the ketchup. I hates them. :mad: ---

> [@7e42](#): > > why can’t Mcdonald’s just put all the sauce options in the bag? lol McDonald’s now has nine nugget sauces: Tangy Barbecue, Sweet and Sour, Hot Mustard, Honey Mustard, Chipotle BBQ, Creamy Ranch, Spicy Buffalo, Sweet Chili, and Honey. McD’s is not known for being parsimonious (whenever I ask for ketchup with my to-go order, they always throw a huge handful of ten or fifteen ketchup packets into the bag) but including _nine_ sauces with any order of chicken nuggets does seem a bit wasteful and excessive. > [@](#): > > just feel like i am being asked too many questions when buying fast food I’m guessing you’re not a fan of Subway. ---
