	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?
etc...

Yes, they HAVE to do that.  It is called Suggestive Sell and it happens
all over the place.  I have seen it so much (where have I been eating ...?)
that I've come to expect it in an amused sort of way, I deal with it quite
simply:  by politely saying "No."  I don't see management ending this
tactic because their counter people say, "People are nasty to me because
I ask them if they want a hot apple pie with their Big Mac!"  If it really
upsets you you should go to the manager directly and tell him/her so.
THEY'RE responsable for it, not the counter people.
