"hold the bun" is an impossible request because upper management gets involved? Can't a nigger just throw the bun in the trash for the customer? "Policy says no no-bun burgers" is asinine and leads to customers feeding parking lot rats with their extra buns.

I felt the same way, maybe they were just particularly bitchy.

There's no way that's normal. I used to order no bun all the time. It's like a major thing for getting people on low carb diets and such to still buy burgers.

I honestly just think I got an idiot new hire or someone just fucking with me or some weird franchise owner who just wants to make the extra whatever an extra slice of cheese costs. I know half the McDonalds around me refuse to serve the steak bagel in the morning now.

They're really strict on their stock. Once I asked for just the meat part without any bun, and they said they're not allowed to because it offsets the bun/meat ratio. So if they're told they have to sell X amount of double cheeseburgers, they can't convert them into McDoubles or the people in the upper management bitch about it.

I cannot possibly imagine asking for that gray slab of dubiously beef-flavored matter by itself without all the other crap to disguise the taste.

Maybe they want to make sure the employees don't get the extra buns "for free."

Gotta keep the wage slaves in line, you know.

> "don't get the extra buns for free"

That's part of it, yes. It's what happens when you centralize production and make "shrinkage" an upper management issue.

Bear in mind that shrinkage isn't just employee theft; it also includes damage to stock, computer errors, stuff lost in shipping, customers/random hobos stealing shit, and good Samaritans trying to accommodate your order when they've been specifically instructed not to. All of that comes out looking the same in the end - as numerical discrepancies on some spreadsheet at Corporate - and is dealt with accordingly.

Also, tightened regulations don't actually prevent employee theft; they just mean that employees have to get a little more creative with how they steal buns.
