When you work in fast food you are trained to ask this because of the tax on "for here meals" versus "take out meals". If we only ask is that for here, it's sounds as though you are forcing tax, if you only ask to go it sounds as though you are avoiding tax. We have to ask both options for this reason and if we were to have a secret shopper or corporate stop in they test us on things like that. There's a lot of things in fast food that people don't realize have a purpose.
i think that oddity is only in california... but they ask that everywhere... because it gets bagged and presented differently for taking to your car than taking to a table...
Well were I worked was definitely not California, and it was even listed as an official part of trainer to be mentioned for new employees on register, and enforced by owners and corporate, no matter the state. No matter the country.
We're so used to performing our jobs as we were trained that it just comes out. And ya you'd be surprised at how much just one or two people can eat by themselves haha
i used to date a guy who would eat so much mcdonalds. drove me batty, im like the whole reason we are going to mcdonalds is because its cheap and you just ordered 30 bucks of food! ughh.
I had one person max out on their total and needed a manager to override it, which rarely ever happens, sat down and ate all the food they ordered. Came back an hour later for desert.
If you order last a certain dollar amount, which varies per store, a manager has to override the system. It's in case the employee taking the order were to ring up to much on accident, or just to verify that the total can be approved or paid for. As you order food the moment the cashier presses the button the order shows up in the back and they start making food. Once we had someone order 150$ worth of food, and walk out without paying. So we had all that good made and we had to throw it out. So that's what I mean by "max out"
A Big Mac with Filet 'o Fish patties replacing the beef I would assume.

Doesn't sound that bad actually.
