Current and Former (Fast) Food Service Workers - How do you handle requests like “All the fries you can give me”? (lemmy.world)

Just curious as I’ve never been on the other side of the counter, how does this sort of thing tend to work at restaurants? Fast food and fast-casual places are where I’ve heard customers say things “pile as much lettuce on there as you’re allowed to” - is there ever a limit your supervisor instructed you for things like that?

Now obviously with up-charge items like extra meat or certain toppings I know the sizes tend to be pre-portioned to a serving utensil, but something like extra onions or tomatoes that goes uncharged - has anyone gotten into trouble for giving “too much”?

I'd just give you a regular ass large fry if you ordered that.

If you ask for extra lettuce and get a second leaf for free most places won't bat an eye. But there's usually a way things are portioned the way they are. Nobody wants a burger that's one 1/8th pound patty and 3 inches worth of solid lettuce.

There used to be a subway or Quiznos commercial that went something like, "'Cause nobody wants a salad on a bun." I would see it and think, "Me. I do. I want a salad on a bun." WTH's wrong with a burger that’s one 1/8th pound patty and 3 inches worth of solid lettuce?
