McDonalds sauce.. $.25 each?

[kami333]

Here's what I don't get. A lot of places will give you 2 for the 10piece nuggets but only 3 for the 20piece, yet their 20pieces usually come in 2 10piece boxes.

They only seem to charge for dipping sauces sans ketchup when you want them for anything other than nuggets. Guess they got annoyed at giving it out or know that there is enough demand for their sweet & sour or barbecue sauce.

From what I've seen, they only charge you for the premium sauces like ranch, honey mustard, etc. BBQ, sweet & sour, ketchup and other old ones are free.

I believe that decisions is left up to the franchise owner, could be wrong though - charging for water or not is up to the franchise for sure.

Chipotle? I don't believe it's owned by McDonald's... I've inquired about them, and never heard McDonald's mentioned.

Also, which location did you go to? I don't think they charge for salsa if it's part of a burrito, not even if you want 2 salsas instead of one, but if you want it on the side for chips or something, then yes, they charge for that, but it's not like the chips are free either.

McD's Owned Chipotle

Yes they charged for salsa on a burrito...

edit: This was the chipotle's around Costa Mesa.

i take one little cup of ketchup (luckily thats still free), and ask for sweet and sour sauce. works for me everytime.

although when i was italy 1 week ago, they charged .10 euros for ketchup, bbq, practically any sauce.

They charge for the cup, totally legal. Have you never been in a convienent store? They always have to charge you for the cup, even if you just fill it with ice.

Generally one sauce should be good for about 5 nuggets. When I worked at McDonald's we would have customers come in and ask for six sauces when they only got a ten piece nuggets. Of course we would charge them extra, yet they never seemed to see the logic behind it and would always get pissy.

I can see why ketchup isnt a big deal though, most people have it at home already and so they wont take extra and even if they do ketchup is much cheaper than the other sauces.

you must put no sauce on your nuggets, places never give enough sauce, and this isnt just McDs type places, 1 BBQ sauce at MCDs is good for 3 nuggets for most peopel i know

I just ate 10 lastnight and you're full of it! I love the hot mustard and douse the hell out of each nugget........... I got an easy 5 nugget douses per sauce

[marqucha]

its usually the franhises stores that charge you for extra condiments. The corporate store dont.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

I worked there in high school and I can say the reason is (at least where I worked) was because they were expensive and you would have people wanting 3-4 of all sauces for a 6 piece or other such bs.

 

[Kaspian]

Its only $0.25 dude. You do get some free with the meal also.

Take a look at In-n-Out...

Can I have some spread?

Oh wait.. CA + In-n-Out = WIN! =P

Why would it be illegal to charge for tap water? It takes an employee's time to put it in a cup, it has a place in the machine that costs money, and it's a private business that can choose to not serve a customer if that is what they decide to do.

I was just at McD's today, for shame, I know. But I haven't had it in more than 3 months and felt the craving for the fries. The McD's I went to was in SoCal (San Gabriel valley), a pretty new one at that. I had 2 regular fries in my tray and asked for ketchup (this location doesnt have the dispenser or packages for you to grab), and he gave me 3 packages of ketchup. I can live with that but it's a bit odd the way he acted, like he was being REALLY careful not to give me more than 3 packages. I asked "can I have a few more?" and he carefully gave me 2 more packages. Then I asked "Are you guys really tight on the ketchup?" and he was like "yeah, we don't want people wasting them."

This has happened for quite a long time in some locations in LA, so it's nothing new to me, and I don't eat there enough to bother me.

And yeh, they have gotten stingy with the sauce. Can't blame 'em. One should be enough.

But what about people who want BBQ or ranch for their fries instead of ketchup?
I'm not that worried since no places around here charge for them.

well thats just not an option for fries.....sorry!!!

If they're going to charge, they need to post the price. Then it's fair game.

When I had my pizzeria, I charged for extra salad dressing. I had a sign and the price posted.

When i managed a Round table Pizza place...we always charged for ranch dressing.
After all they ordered pizza not pizza w/ranch dressing!!
