Looks like a really interesting case

Remember back in the day how super pissy McDonald's got about special orders? It felt like a crime to even ask.

They'd take 10-12 minutes to make a burger without onions on it and I'm pretty sure they spit on it every time.

I do remember when I worked at McDonald's in high school, the Quarter Pounder without cheese was cheaper. And you'd get it in a styrofoam clamshell container that took two years off the earth's lifespan.
 
I was a fat kid. You could’ve told me there was spit on it and I would’ve paused for a second and ate it anyways.

I am not sure what to say to that. ... You probably have a better immune system than I do.

They sold burgers from finished goods inventory back then. Their processes are completely different now.
 
Reminds me of someone in front of me at a burger joint recently who ordered a bacon cheddar melt, hold the bacon. Isn't that just a cheesburger at that point? WTF?
 
The Burger King jingle had a line, “special orders don’t upset us,” rhyming with “lettuce”.

Haven’t been to BK in ages, but I enjoyed the time I asked whether I could get onion rings instead of fries and the clerk responded (while pointing to poster with its slogan at the time*): “Of course! This is Burger King. Have it your way!”

* And still today?

I dated a vegetarian once who loved Burger King Whoppers without meat. Struck me as the strangest damn thing--to go to a burger joint to order a burger minus the burger.

That relationship didn't last long.

Was that clerk Carl Weathers?

My theory is they really wanted to make sure the cheese got melted.
 
Sandwich place around here has one that's described as "Cajun-dusted chicken breast topped with roasted red peppers, capicola ham & melted provolone cheese." I had them hold the ham. Owner rang me up and took $2 off my bill. I wasn't expecting that at all and certainly wouldn't have demanded it.
