I understand that fast food restaurants will, on occasion, charge for
extra sauce. However, I have yet to see that policy enforced when it
comes to ketchup packets -- which are likely available in a plastic tub
on the condiment stand. Thus, I can't accept that this is an attempt to
tighten your ample belt in tough times.
And although I
appreciate your desire to be eco-conscious and not let a single red
drop go to waste, I might suggest that rolling and squeezing the packet
would be equally as effective and infinitely more palatable for me. You are also given the tools you need to succeed with every combo meal -- fries or the edge of a hamburger are perfectly acceptable means of divesting the packet of ketchup.
With the appetites of your fellow diners hanging in the balance, I merely ask for a change of venue. Hit the drive-thru next time and suck down your meal in your car. That's where ketchup lickers belong.
