Will you get an upsize meal everytime when the staff asks you?
For some certain meals, they will ask you to add few cents more to get more coke, more fries, bigger burger and such.
For me, I will do that, because, it is affordable and cheap to me, by just adding a few cents I can get the amount we need to buy at a higher price(separately).
What will you do?

I do not think i have ever not ordered the "biggie" sizes. The meals they have are smaller than they used to be, and they totally messed up the milk shake. But I have never gotte anything small there cause it is next to nothing.

And if you look at their sizes over the years they keep getting smaller, but more expensive. And the dollar menu? if you pay a dollar for your food then you get what youpay for and a dollar don't go far these days.

Maybe I will get an upsized meal at McDonald but not everytime. It would depend on how hungry I am at that moment. It would just be a waste, both of food and money, if I order upsized meal yet I'm not that hungry to finish them all.

If very hungry I'd upsize my fries but ordinarily, I don't really go for upsize because in most cases the meal is enough for me and sometimes I can't even finish the meal. In most cases what I do is to change my drinks from softdrinks to fruit juice because I don't drink softdrinks at all.

Before I always get an upsize meal at mcdonalds. Since I am not concerned with my diet during that time but now that I am on a strict diet I don't go for an upsize meal and I really don't go to mcdonald often these days.

We only have medium and large meals here because the supersize meals arn't allowed to be sold here anymore and haven't been sold here for years. They don't ask if you want large though, if you want it you have to say large.... otherwise you get medium. Its only larger fries and drink though, the burger is always the same size. The meals are slowly getting smaller too, the fries are now the size smaller than they use to be but still classed as medium and large.

actually, the offering you to upsize thing is a marketing strategy for them to earn more money. the logic behind that is actually when the staff will offer you to upsize and will let you know about the minimal cost of getting much bigger drink and fries, you tend to avail it and they earn more :)
but still, i will always upsize mine! its so yummmmmmy! :D
