Not only that, but they have a "reminder" from the cash register.  Whenever
I get desperate and go into McD's my standard order is either a Big Mac or
a couple of horseburgers and a Coke.  When they punch it into their machine,
I notice it has a flashing '0' under the fries, and usually the counterperson
asks if I want fries with that order.  I would have said so if I did!
(I HATE french fries!)  I guess they are trying to brainwash us poor slobs that
a Big Mac, fries and a cola is the all american meal!
