Sneaky Ways Fast Food Restaurants Get You To Spend Money

[blank-oilk]

i worked at a fast food place, we were required to keep asking “upsize?” “add on?” “if you change ___ to ___, it’s only $2 extra” at the end of every sentence. we’d also talk about the menus if given a chance and would point to the food then “accidentally” move our fingers to the add-ons. you’d be surprised at the amount of people that initially only wanted 1 thing but ended up with way more. be firm in your choices and don’t get swayed, it’s not worth it

One of the best things I learned working fast food is if you don't want one of the elements of a combo, don't order the combo. If you're gonna order water instead of soda, just get fries, a burger, and your free water. If you don't like the fries, just get a burger and a drink. It's almost always gonna be cheaper to get the two things you want than to pay a slightly discounted price for all 3. More complicated example, if I want a sausage egg mcgriddle, it's cheaper to get a sausage mcgriddle add egg than to get a SEC mcgriddle subtract cheese. Only pay for what you actually want, no more.

If you live in Asia, you will rarely go to fast food cus we have street food.

I know it's been cheaper, but I remember when a combo was never more than 5 bucks. A family of four could get 4 combos for 20 bucks and that was dinner.

I thought my fast food consumption was minor, until I read that at twice a week I was considered a “heavy user” by the industry... that woke me up. Anyway I trained myself off it and now it’s probably twice a year, and the rest is home cooking

When I was a kid and teenager, in my family fast food was something you would get once a month because it cost too much. Even now, I eat at fast food chains once a month or once every two months. Can't believe people actually eat fast food every other day.

Lol dude called McDonald’s “ big juicy patties”. More like thin and dry

Fast food restaurants always confuse me. For example at McDonald's 20 nuggets and an entire basket of fries is 8 dollars, but if you order 10 nuggets and medium fries it's 7 dollars. Makes no sense how their pricing works.

[smellscrazy]

Also not to forget there is more ice in the drink 🥤 than the actual drink

[jaridkeen]

The fries are salty so you buy a drink

[cavinku]

Fast food.
Makes my heart rate fast,
Makes my wallet drain fast,
Makes my death will fast

When he said “your just looking at those big juicy patties” I was currently thinking of how dry and bland those patties looked
