ITT: Fast food lifehacks.
If you want fresh french fries from a fast food place ask for fries with no salt. They have to put on an entire new batch and not salt them to give people who request saltless fries. You can then add salt yourself later if you desire.

Jesus Christ, Brenda, just eat your shitty soggy fries. There's a reason why it's called "fast" food, and forcing them to cook an entire batch of fries just for your fat ass to let them go cold sitting in the back of the car as you argue with your husband in the driveway about why he had to get a vasectomy without telling you but the fact is he hasn't been fucking his office secretary and was genuinely concerned about wanting to adopt a child because he believes it's morally and ethically the better choice.

I worked at a fast food place when I was 17. My very first day I was in training, and my manager had me do the fry station because it was easy shit. One of the first things he told me was that if a customer requested "no salt fries", I was to put some already done/salted fries back in the basket and into the frier for a couple seconds, because the hot oil melts/washes the salt away.

Obviously I dont know how many other restaurants have similar policies but I have to imagine it's quite a few. One thing my manager always hated was customer wait time. He said the corporate office was always trying to cut down on it, so making a new batch of fries just because some fag wants no salt was out of the question for him.

Keep that shit in mind next time you think you're cheating thrs system, you fucking autist.

If you call a McDonald's and complain that they fugged up your order and impose enough to make it an uncomfortable situation they will cave and give you whatever you want for free. I do it at least once a month at different mcdonalds around town. Just call them up and say about an hour ago you rolled through with a large order and half of it was missing and the other half was all wrong. Tell them you're coming back in 10 minutes to get your order and you expect it to be RIGHT this time, and you will get your food for free.

I see your point but I didn't work at a big name fast food placeblike McDonald's or burger king; where I worked the fry station is literally covered in salt. On top of that the fry scooper was caked in a layer of salt. That shit doesn't disappear just because you made a new batch.

>>12791867

Na we got wise to your shit years ago. When I was working at a local fast food chain we wouldn't salt the fries until they were ordered. Just because of fags like you. You are going to get those cold fries and you are going to like them.

Tbh it's a problem with the system. The jews sold amerisharts on the idea of getting a full meal instantaneously while never having to get your fat ass out of your car. Food sales exist on a triangle. Quality, Speed, Price. You can have two of the three but never all three. Fast food lives on the speed+price combination. That means you get deep dicked on the quality. If you really want hot fresh food you go to an actual restaurant or make it at home.

I would gladly have taken the time to make sure every single person got fresh food when I was managing a mcdicks.

That's sop anywhere where they cut their own tomatoes. I used to get shit all the time for tossing the half rotten ones. I just said sorry and did it when they weren't looking. The profit margin is so low for anything but the most high end restaurants that they all cut corners whenever possible. As long as they don't get in trouble with the law they will do it.

Did I say someone forced them down my throat? No it was my choice, I chose a terrible relationship and when it fell apart I turned to drugs to cope. I also got hooked on pain pills for a bad back and was taking way more than I was prescribed because it was the only way to keep working. I think that fucked my kidneys up, I'm always having pain in that area and have passed some gnarly stones. Sure I could say that I had issues because I was raised by an abusive single mom that would lock me in the basement but whatever. I grew up and got out and I still managed to fuck my own life up. Shit sucks but I own up to it.
Also I'm not really that educated, I just read a lot as a kid because I didn't have fuck all else to do. But I don't really understand higher concepts and I am terrible at math. I have a GED and no college education. I honestly believe I would be lucky if I can get a job as a manager at costco or something once I kick the habit. But deep down I feel fucked up and expect to just fall over from a heart attack in the next few years. Dunno why I am telling a bunch of food autists about this stuff but I don't have anyone else to talk to. Anyways
