Say "NO" to condiment control! This is one of those irritating little problems that will never get any attention, no marching crowds, no picket lines, no Association for Free Distribution of Condiments at Fast Food Restaurants (AFDCFFR). But the problem exists and is disrupting milllions of lives every day. Some of the more stringent offenders in my path have been McDonald's, Carl's Junior, and Burger King. These are the restaurants (and not all franchises are guilty) which hide the condiments behind the counter, forcing you to wait in line (again) to ask for ketchup, etc. Ruminate on your own experiences and reflect whether or not the places which have allowed free access to the condiments (the best examples include Taco Bell, Apollo Burger, and Arby's) have not provided a more enjoyable culinary experience. I think you will discover I am right.

I propose therefore that whenever you discover one of these condiment hording establishments, that you vote with your dollar and refuse them your patronage, or at least give them a stern reprimand when you ask for the condiments at the counter.
