Hope I wasn't sucky

[Food Lady]

I went to the drive-through at McD's after work tonight. It was as if I'd never done this before. I was asking questions like, "The small fry is the little bag, right?" I didn't know any of the sizes or shake flavors. I was even trying to remember if they serve Coke or Pepsi. Oi. They must have either been annoyed or laughing at the confused lady in the drive-through. Anyway, I ended up ordering a medium fry, a shake, and a large DIET Coke.

I wouldn't worry about it - they are used to questions and you weren't asking just to be a smart alec. I've asked some random ones (not being a huge fast food person) and never gotten a negative response.

[Mytical]

McD's is becoming the walmart of fast food. A bazillion different products, need a road map, six coaches, and a interpreter to figure out things. Too bad sometimes their food down right is not very tasty.

IMO if you are asking yourself "Am I [being] a sucky customer?" the answer is probably no

[chainedbarista]

no, you weren't; i get the feeling you don't do fast food very often, so it's not an issue to ask about sized (especially if they vary from place to place, say mc d's to jack in the crack, etc.).

you just wanted to know options and that's a good thing.

No, as someone who works there I can tell you that is not sucky. At the very most that would be annoying, but only when the person does it with attitude.
It always makes me laugh when I ask someone what size they want and they ask me what sizes we have. Uhmm small, medium, large... the normal ones. I can understand when they don't know how big a small is or whatever or want to know how many ounces is in something, but it's weird when they just want me to tell them the names of the sizes.

I take it you don't visit Starbucks that often? And then there are the other fast food places that have ditched Sm/Med/Lg in favor of Reg/Med/Lg or Med/Lg/Oversized or similar.

Yeah and I totally understand that, which is why it would make sense if they wanted to see how big a size was or said a size we don't actually have or whatever, it just makes me laugh when they want to know the names of the sizes.

Or if you're buying popcorn, it's Large, Chubby, and Super Extra Chubby.

Almost - We have Large, Super Chubby, and Double Super Chubby!

But isn't the large a small???

Right now, the McD's drinks seem to come in Big, Bigger, and Way Too Freakin' Big. Back in high school I'd supersize my meals to get the larger fries, and always had flat soda before I could finish it. Yay for them slightly upping the fry sizes since then so I don't have to get the largest soda to enjoy yummy fatty goodness.

Uh, I'll have to ask my manager.

I generally do the same. Recently was the first and only time I was asked to choose between Diet Pepsi and Diet Dr. Pepper.
