In two recent letters on PlanetFeedback, letter writers complained about not getting enough ketchup packets in the drive-through at McDonald's.
While our love for ketchup could be considered unusual (eggs, meat, potatoes, bread), a true ketchup lover knows her addiction and accommodates it and plans for it accordingly. Just as the fast-food restaurant pays for ketchup packets, so must the consumer, when the amount he or she desires is beyond the "norm."
The letter writers solved their ketchup dilemma by going into the restaurant and getting cups of ketchup from the ketchup pump. But the obvious option of paying for additional packets was dismissed.
It seems to us that if a person requires that much of any condiment (we know people who put ranch dressing on almost everything!), one should be prepared and have packets in their vehicle or keep a bottle or packets at work, just as they keep ketchup in their fridge at home. It seems only fair to put the excessive ketchup burden on the consumer who desires it. Otherwise, restaurants could raise their prices across the board to cover such expenses, thus passing the ketchup lovers' cost onto all customers. And that hardly seems fair.
The employee did give the letter writers more ketchup packets and then an alternative (pay for additional packets). Our ruling: People who need ketchup just to eat their meals need to take on that responsibility and keep ketchup on hand.
Now pass the french fries!
