Sign at Chicken Now, one of the restaurants in the food court at the Destiny USA shopping mall in Syracuse, New York. I found this sign about sauce to be quite obnoxious, because it just screams “cheap”.

My opinion about Chicken Now’s choice to charge for sauces is twofold. First of all, for customers that bought a meal from the establishment, just give the customer as many sauces as they want. Those things cost so little, and it only takes a few extra sauce packets to make a customer happy and position them to give the establishment some repeat business. I don’t like patronizing businesses that want to nickel and dime me over every single thing. Then the other part of that opinion, holding the 50-cent price constant, leads me to think, if you’re charging for sauce, why are you limiting sauce purchases to people who have bought a meal and to that end, requiring proof of purchase? By attaching a price to the sauces, you are making them a separate item for sale, and I should be able to buy a handful of them on their own and be rung up for them. These two policies also set the location’s employees up for a lot of unnecessary arguments, and it’s just not worth it. I definitely was turned off by this sauce policy, and I took my dollars elsewhere.
