The "powers that be" think this is a great way to put some extra money in their pocket when it actually just iritates the customer (and some don't come back). Chewing out the workers doesn't do a bit of good since we don't make the rules. Whether I am tring to upsale you or offer something is not my choice.

(Funny how daysiders always seemed to have plenty of time for lunch.) Thanks for reminding me how nice it is not to be doing that anymore. Regarding the two McDonald's and one Hardees within a mile of the Journal Star, I found the Hardees on Adams to be consistently the fastest. The Adams Street McDonald's varied from extremely slow to "am I in hell?" slow. It's sometimes faster to get out of the car and go inside at a fast-food joint if there are more than two cars ahead of you. I found this often was true at the Prospect-War Memorial McDonald's.

The standard is set by corporate or the franchise owner. There is nothing the guy on the box can do, except lose his job. Take up your furor with them, not the guy in the store.
