After waiting in line for a looooong time, when The Scob finally made it to the counter, he was disgusted by the wait. So when they asked what he wanted, he simply replied, "I want it all." At the time, this McDonald's had their food items in vertical columns and the servers just extracted the bottom item and the next item fell into place. Well, there were dozens of food items, and The Scob ordered everything. Since there was no policy in place (and since the manager was happy to make the sale), McDonald's was obligated to give him what he ordered.
All of the poor bastards in the lines behind The Scob then had to wait forever for new food to be cooked. We left the restaurant and walked down College Avenue with big bags of McDonald's food. Some he gave away; some he fed to pigeons and dogs. Some he threw at people.
The point is, I see why some places have a policy.
