I’d guess it’s an ease of design and manufacturing decision when you can eliminate so many buttons so easily.

- ilikehurdles 3y agoPretty much any McDonalds I’ve been to in Central Europe has a charge on each condiment pack.
- OkGoDoIt 3y agoIn my experience in the USA, most fast food restaurants in the suburbs give away sauces for free, but the ones in cities charge for everything. Seems to also be correlated with whether or not the fast food restaurant has self serve soda fountains versus soda poured behind the counter.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIn Poland I've experienced both ones that charge you per packet, and ones where asking for a packet will have the cashier grab a bunch of them without even counting, give them to you for free, and move on to handle another customer. That applies only to ketchup packs, though - they always charge for sauces. The only place I ever got sauce containers by handful for free was in a KFC in Shenzhen, China.
