Why do all fast food places just assume you want fries?

Question

They don't even ask anymore they just charge me for them sometimes they give me the fries sometimes they don't

And hope I don't notice

I not a big fan of fries and think that if I don't want them I shouldn't have to pay for them

Answer 1

I don't know why they do.  Personally, I like onion rings better!

Answer 2

Because the average American loves greasy food. I'm pretty sure the statistic now is the average American eats 3 orders of fries per week. Isn't that sad but if we didn't like the stuff these fast food places would not be such successful businesses. Also if you don't want the fries I know at Burger King you can ask for onion rings, cheesy tots, or a side salad with you meal instead and wendys also has a lot of other options. Just ask.

Answer 3

Maybe you are a big fatso because you eat at fast food places all the time, so you likk like the kind of fat person who wants king size fries with everything.

Answer 6

It is what it is until you say something about it.

Answer 7

fries are the devils starchy fingers

Answer 8

At McDonalds up to 80% of the time a customer wants fries, so maybe your cashierer assumes you want them. When they say your food back to you, make sure they have the right food you asked for.

If you don't want the fries you can always give it back and it will just be thrown in the waste bucket.

Also the "McValue Meals" ALL come with fries, so make sure that if you order a cheeseburger and you only want the cheeseburger make sure they understand that

Answer 9

they don't assume you want fries but most people do, actually.  you don't actually 'pay for them' in the sense that, if you bought the sandwich fries and drink separately, usually, it would actually cost you more; that's why they just throw them in anyway.  it's more of a waste of food than a waste of your money.

Answer 10

If you asked for the meal, it automatically comes with fries.  If you don't want the fries, tell them you just want to get the sandwich and/or drink.  It'll just cost you more for the sandwich and drink, so you might as well order the meal and tell them that you don't want the fries.  

Majority of the human population loves fries.  So, you're pretty much the minority.
