When the server comes up to me I ask them for the food I want and then they bring it to me. Sometimes they don't have it, but I just ask for a different food. Try it sometime, it'l save you walking into the kitchen to ask the chef (or worse, one of the line cooks) directly.

I only like nestea which is a coke product and its just easier to ask if they have coke then to ask what kind of iced tea they have. But it can backfire if their only iced tea is tea with ice in it.

In the UK the McDonalds hot drinks cups have a sticker you can peel off and if you have 6 you get a free drink.
I asked for a coffee before and then handed her the stickers. "You should have given me this before you ordered because I can't change it now"
proceeds to change it on the till
"Well you obviously can because you just did"
