BurgerKing - Dutchtown - Questionable Practice

Do employees get any sort of incentive if they get customers to up size?
In the past when ordering a meal number, they would say "Medium or Large?", like those were the only options. Most people might say Medium because those are the only options given and they still get an up charge. I would have to stay neither, just give me the small.
Today, they are now just automatically charging the medium. I get to the window and say I don't want the medium up charge, just give me the small. She says all of our meals are medium now. I said well that's just untrue because the price says differently and there is a 60cent upcharge. She cocked an attitude and removed it.
Pretty shady and most people are probably getting Mediums and not thinking twice about it.

They just assume their typical fatty customers want the bigger size

Hope she didn't spit in your drink

It's a smart practice considering it probably works on most people eating Burger King. I don't blame them for it. It's a trick used by most sales people in most sales industries.

Not shady IMO.
In my experience with fast food I expect the default size for any menu item to be a medium.
If I order a number two with sprite I expect to be handed a medium sized drink and fry with my sandwich.
I always recognized a small drink or fry as a kids menu item.

The bigger question is, who repeatedly visits BK?

Is this the same person from last year complaining about literally the same thing?
Let me dig that thread out

The most questionable practice ever for Burger King was changing to those thick cut fries they have now. The old fries were ranked among the all-time greats.

No clue how that place stays open, has been horrible since I can remember it being there.

Wendy’s does this too.
Fast food places where their small is a medium, medium is a large, and large is a supersize are shady.
At least McDonald’s holds true to America and still uses the normal small, medium, and large sizes.

I remember when cheese was an add on at FF places...now most meals include cheese but you don't get a discount without cheese.

So do you care about the cost or the portion of food?
Because
1) it's $0.60 who GAF
2) I doubt anyone going to Burger King actually cares about portion size
