Current and Former (Fast) Food Service Workers - How do you handle requests like “All the fries you can give me”? (lemmy.world)

Just curious as I’ve never been on the other side of the counter, how does this sort of thing tend to work at restaurants? Fast food and fast-casual places are where I’ve heard customers say things “pile as much lettuce on there as you’re allowed to” - is there ever a limit your supervisor instructed you for things like that?

Now obviously with up-charge items like extra meat or certain toppings I know the sizes tend to be pre-portioned to a serving utensil, but something like extra onions or tomatoes that goes uncharged - has anyone gotten into trouble for giving “too much”?

I doubt you or anyone here will disagree with me, but it still needs to be said: that man was 100% in the wrong.

Asking for a bunch of extra dressing is one thing, but asking for "as much as possible" means when they actually go out of their way to accommodate you, you better show you're ecstatic, thank them, and tip them well. I don't care if you have to lug a bucket of dressing home, maybe you'll learn that words have meanings...

I agree! And I like to think that, as he looked over his several bottles worth of dressing in a beverage cup, he did learn to consider his words more carefully.

But I didn't mind the whole experience. It's not my dressing and it made for a pretty funny story.
