Cameron's Thoughts

For whatever reason, I noticed that McDonald's never gives salt anymore when you order fries. Wendy's always gives salt when you get fries in the drive-thru without fail. The stupid thing though, is that when you ask for salt at McDonald's, they give you like four or five. I can only imagine they don't give it as a cost saving measure, but if you give a handful every time someone asks for it, I can only imagine in the end you'd do just as well off giving everyone a single packet. Because of the plentiful amounts of salt they give, I had a stockpile at home. I've been using that for a while since they never give out salt. Today I just bought some fries and recalled that I am now out at home. So, this conversation proceeded as I was handed my food:

Me: Can I get some salt?

Girl: You want extra salt?

Me: Oh, is there some already in the bag?

Girl: No.

Me: Well, then yes.

Girl : Is this enough? (She hands me five packets)

WTF. Why would she ask if I want 'extra' salt if I wasn't given any to begin with. And, no, I didn't need five more packets. I just wanted enough for my small fry. Not even sure why it was asked if that was enough. It should be obvious that it was way more than enough.
