Would You Like Fries With That?

No. No I would not. Otherwise there is a good chance I would have asked for it. But who knows, maybe there is a one in a million customer that has some kind of inability to request some fries. In which case, lucky they have the cashier asking each and every person if they would like fries with their previously ordered fries. I remember a certain conversation between a cashier and I some time ago;

"Hi, could I please get a large Coke?"
"Sure, would you like fries with that?"
"I'm sorry, but is there any reason you think I'm mentally incapable?"
"Pardon?"
"Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't actually recall asking for fries. Did I?"
"No."
"Right, well what makes you think I have a mental deficiency that leaves me incapable of asking for some fries with my drink?"
"Nothing, we are just told to ask everyone."
"So you think that no-one is capable of asking for fries?"
"No, we are just told to ask everyone"
"Right, well is there anything else you'd like to know if I don't want?"
"We are told to ask everyone."
"Do you remember what I do want?"
"Uh...A large Coke?"
"Very good. Thank you."

So, If anyone reading this happens to be placed in a situation in which they feel they should ask if the customer wants fries with whatever they ordered, stop and think "Do they look retarded?" That is all.
