Uhm. What?

It seems that, at least this McDonald’s, has started to charge for extra packets of sauce. Goodbye it is to courtesy sauce packets.  In my opinion this a bit of ludicris.  First off, this will simply cause more time at the register as the cashier will have to carefully ration off each packet and enter the exact amount in their POS/cash register. The point of getting something from fast food is that it is as quick and efficient as possible. Adding additional little tasks for the cashier only adds additional oppurtunity for failure.

Also, only  one packet for a six piece? Uhm. Lame. You’ll be lucky if you make a single packet last that long. Especially if you’re like me and dip your fries into the sauce too. That kind of sort of REALLY sucks. It’s going to drive people away, especially when we already have to penny pinch to begin with. This is stupid.

Also, notice something. It costs more if you get the sauce with the strips. You know.. the bigger longer chicken? So, you’re probably going to need more packets to eat this properly. How can you sell the exact same product for two different prices? I don’t think this policy will last too long.

Ugh, now I’m hungry.
