	Why does this happen?

	Customer: I'd like a Quarter Pounder, and a Coke.

	Counterperson: Is that a Quarter Pounder with cheese?

	Customer: No, that's a Quarter Pounder.

	Counterperson: Would you like fries with that?
	
	Customer: No, I would *not*.

	Counterperson: Would you like an apple or cherry pie?

	Customer: I don't recall ordering one...

Now, I'm pretty certain that counterfolk are instructed to do this by
management, in an attempt to boost sales.  I find this insulting, and 
usually respond with my nastiest if-looks-could-kill-you'd-be-vaporized
stare and most sarcastic voice; I'm hoping to discourage this.  Perhaps
other netnews readers are also infuriated by this...
