To which she turned around to look at the menu, then turned back around and said “I guess that’s a ‘small’.” Of course it was.
But I don’t blame these folks. They are most certainly being trained to ask questions intended to up-sell orders, and management is most likely telling them to go through a script that nudges people into doing so. (Fucking assholes!)
