    In Coos Bay, there are many fast food places and it's fairly common for the talk of the town to be what new restaurants are opening in various areas. For instance, a new Taco Bell was opened on Newmark near the Walmart and people were very excited on social media.

    While many in Coos Bay, OR, eat fast food, there are other food options like fresh food from the Farmer's Market and the grocery stores around the area are usually nicely stocked and ready to go. If you're interested in fast food then you can generally get a feel for what an area is like by shopping around a bit and seeing which of the restaurants you like.

    Man Eats Some Of Child's Fries Even After Promising Them To Her

    There was recently a post on Reddit about how a man was not sure if he was in the wrong in a fast food situation. The summary of the situation is that he didn't want his fries that came with a meal so his daughter asked for them and he said it would be okay.

    However, before the fries made it to his daughter, he ended up having a few. In the post it says he left her around 3 waffle fries, which he figures was fair. She also requested a certain kind of sauce that the got for her to eat the fries with, but he left her with a lot less overall than she was planning for.

    Since the fast food place is far away, the dad wasn't willing to go get her more fries. He thinks she should be happy that she got any of them, let alone at least a third from fries she wasn't going to get at first.

    Fast food fries are only so good because they have addictive ingredients in them. That is probably why the father was craving them and couldn't control himself. Perhaps he should've considered that he was going to eat some and got a small order to replace them with.

    Commenters point out that he's in the wrong, especially for offering them all to her. He should've just offered them after he had some so she wasn't expecting the full order of fries.

    How Do You Feel About Taking Fries?

    If you were the father in this situation, would you feel bad or would you be confident that you did nothing wrong like OP? It's easy to see that most commenters are not on his side, so it will be interesting to see what Newsbreak readers think!

    but it doesn't say if he even got her anything to eat. if he didn't, and just got him self food and ate while she watched after offering the fries to her, yea that's messed up

    I think it teaches the child a valuable lesson about what promises and value vs. cost actually means, as well as being grateful... she had the food delivered to her, did not have to cook it, would not have gotten fries with her meal in the first place, so any were a treat really... and she got the treat of the special sauce stuff, too. At least she got some of what she asked for. maybe a 'thank you' is in order instead of an 'it could've been better'? ... just saying
