I like McDonalds and have been to quite a few. I have never, ever been asked if I want fries with that or otherwise upsold. Not sure where this meme comes from.

- bad_user 10y agoIn every McDonalds I've been they ask: 1. Would you like a menu? (+fries +juice) 2. Make it big menu for just $X ? 3. Would you like a pie for desert? I also have acquaintances that worked there. From where I'm from, if you don't ask such questions and smile at the same time, you tend to get fired.

- bblough 10y ago> I wonder if it's an NYC thing. I think it's a US thing. I remember that when I was younger I would get asked those questions every time, but not any more. In the past few years (decade?) there has been a lot of push back against upselling fast food due to obesity concerns. If I had to guess I would say it probably started around when the movie "Super Size Me" was released (2004). Now, if I order a meal, I might get asked "what size" without any suggestion. Or if I order a sandwich by name, I usually get asked to clarify if I want "the meal or just the sandwich." But I can't remember the last time they actually tried to upsell me. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if upselling still happened outside of the US.

- undersuit 10y agoI find it is much more common to be asked when you are in line at the drive-thru compared to walk-ins.
