Do fast food workers get commission now???
The last few times I indulged in greasy burgers and fries, the drive-thru speakers have tried to up-sell me. I was at the new Branchburg, N.J. Wendy's last Friday to get a large #2 with fries and a Coke, and the lady tried to double my Classic Double order. I felt like I was in a Doublemint Gum commercial.
If that's not bad enough, I was at the Clinton McDonald's earlier today to order my usual large Big Mac meal with a Coke, and the guy on the drive-thru mic tried to sell me a cappuccino. When I told him "no thanks" he asked if I wanted anything else. NO!! I just want to pay you, get my food, and get the hell out; and if I wanted a cappuccino, I'd go across the street to Dunkin Donuts or take a drive downtown to a local coffee shop.
I know the recent surge in population of the obese community has proved profitable to this industry, but give me a break! I go to fast food places to eat what I want, when I want, and how I want it... NOT to go shopping with similar-minded salesmen as door-to-door Willy Lomans or shady people that work at used-car lots.
On a side note, our flag store sold a custom flag to the Burger King in Raritan, so I dropped it off one Sunday morning after a limo-run to Newark Airport. The manager was pretty grateful, and hooked me up with a free breakfast of whatever I wanted, so kudos to him and that fine ethically-sound establishment.

hahah yea man im still at fridays and they tell us to try to up-sell as much as we can, and then they complain when the customers arent happen, well maybe is cuz we are told to push all expensive shit at them and make them feel like they are on the home shopping network and not at a restaraunt
