I've heard that over the years, different franchises had their own policies on charging extra for dipping sauces. In particular, some of the limited time dipping sauces I've seen always charged extra for them - like the limited time WcDonald's sauce and some current garlic sauce.
However, I've noticed recently that through the app or on the kiosks there's typically a charge of 29 cents each for most of the traditional dipping sauces that come with Chicken McNuggets - BBQ, ranch, sweet & sour, honey mustard, Buffalo, etc. Strangely enough, I haven't seen a price for hot mustard. I've seen this when ordering at different locations in my area.
I thought it actually worked out pretty well. At least around here there's a special on Fridays for free medium fries with a minimum purchase of $1. There isn't much that sell for a $1 or so now, so four of these covers that minimum. I did that last week with two BBQ and two ranch, plus two hot mustard (which was listed as complimentary) and I was paying for it. But when I got my order I saw one of each in my bag. I took it to an employee who pointed at a sign on the wall about how many come with Chicken McNuggets (for each size) and said I was only entitled to two. But I had fries which were free, and a receipt that noted I paid 58 cents for two BB and 58 cents for two ranch. Then the manager came and said I was wrong, but then I pointed to the amount I paid on the receipt and after some hesitation I got those sauces.
I'm guessing there's a bit of confusion where even the employees don't know what's going on. But if I'm specially paying for them, I'm sure as heck going to get them. I've gone crazy a few times where I just ordered extras on the app or via the kiosk when they had no price, just to see if they'd do it. And at one location someone had a heck of a sense of humor where I got everything I asked for and neatly arranged in carefully placed rows.
