[Meta] Why Do Stores Do This?

Does anyone know if there is a reason why restaurants and stores provide such obscene amounts of extra "stuff" sometimes? I know it's funny but nobody in their right mind could possibly look at these concoctions and think that's what their customer means when they say "extra pickles" or whatever.

My working theory is that sometimes, if establishments are about to clear out or refresh stock on some supplies, they jump at the chance to use as much as possible to cut down on their waste.

Has anyone who's ever been on the giving end of one of these clue me in to your thought process? Is it just because it's funny?

Because too many times, customers complain that the extra amount wasn’t extra enough. So, they ensure the extra amount is extra enough because how many times do people complain about getting too extra of an extra?
