“What is your McDonald’s sauce policy?” I ask, and before she can answer with her corporate canned response, I cut her off by requesting a manager.

The manager comes over and I can see they’re ready to repeat the same script.

As they talk at me, all I hear is white noise.

All I see is red. My sanctuary.

“Sir? Sir?” I hear as I’m brought back to this reality, the manager waiting for me to comply with their drivel.

With a wry smile, I raise my phone and in plain view of the staff, proceed to order as many BBQ sauces as I possibly can.

Turns out the maximum amount of sauces you can request in a single order is 20.

If I had with me my old Samsung Galaxy S4 from the drawer at home, I could (and would) have ordered twice that amount at the same time.

After only using the one additional BBQ sauce I originally requested, I cleared the sauce tub pyramid I made on my tray into the trash. Their temple had fallen.

I’m sure they won’t challenge me again. Alas, they won’t need to. I’ll be placing all future sauce orders through the McApp instead.
