@reemvil I think if you took a worldwide survey in the food service industry, this response would be the norm. America lives in a bubble where asking for extra this or that, on the side or wherever, is even a thing.

I do not agree with Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson on a number of topics, and he does not get everything right. But I think one has to applaud him for the courage of calling out intimidated, paid-off, or malicious propagandists and liars comprising most of the main stream media.
