Have it our way

Burger King's philosophy of 'have it your way...' is wrong.

I went to McDonald's in China, ordered a Chicken sandwhich, and when I asked for some ketchup packets, the cashier was like, sorry, "这个this(zhe4 ge) 有has(you3) 自己own(zi4 ji3) 的(de) 味道flavor(wei4 dao)，加add(jia1) 番茄酱 ketchup (fan1 qie2 jiang4) 不not (bu4) 好吃good-tasting(hao3 chi1) "...this has flavor already, it's not good with ketchup.

I was like...ah...what do i say...ok, i guess yor're right, i'm sorry. i guess i really don't like ketchup on my fried chicken, MY BAD.

I'm in Beijing too and have gone to most of the fast food places..McD's, KFC, Pizza Hut. They are REALLY SUPER STINGY on condiments/sauces. My bf told me that they don't want to waste it and like if you notice...people eat fries with ketchup by squeezing it onto the fries rather then dipping it in. o_O I learned to just carry a small bottle of hot sauce and ketchup with me everywhere now. Hahaha. :]
