RE: having counter help ask if you want something else after you have
    finished your order.

Many people have replied that the poor counter person is told that they
must commit this obnoxious practice or get canned.  There is a way to
fight the management.  It is rare for a menial to get hired at one these
type places to do one single job (ie, counter help).  Therefore, IF the
management complains (= bitches) at you for not asking the costumer if
they want something else, just tell the management (= scumbag) to put
somebody else on the line to handle the paying public and let you do
something interesting.  If you all gang up on the management in this
way (be careful that the management (= idiots) does not find out that
this is a conspiracy, but they wouldn't anyway because they're not too
bright about what is going on anyway) they'll run out of counter help!
Believe me, I've done this and it works.  It's just a mild form of 
striking.

For the brave at heart, just tell the management that you will NOT say,
"Do you want any fries?".  This also works because often the management
will take to some people with "spunk" (GOD how I hated that word).

I have NEVER, EVER allowed any management of any food place that I worked
at run rough-shod over myself or any of my co-workers.  And, I never got
fired either.  I quit once but that is another story (We all quit and
most of us went to the place across the street!).
