Are low cost "tripwire" offers unethical?

[DennisD]

"Would you like fries with that?" = Up-selling ... lol

It's a fun for us to poke fun because McDonalds is a pretty low-rent business mass-marketed towards the lowest common denominator... aWe associate McDonalds employees with sidewalking and we associate their customers with low-class people who don't care about the future.

Let's not forget that McD's is worth nearly $62 Billion dollars for just these practices. "Would you like fries with that" IS the OG of upsells. It's so well done and so ingrained into us that McDs customers EXPECT and even WELCOME the question.

Dollar Fries ARE tripwires. Toys in happy meals = GENIUS incentive to get kids on board.
Every big mac tastes the same, every batch of fries tastes the same and you're not taking a risk when you order even when traveling. McDs is a mammoth of a company and they're doing a LOT of things right.
