    And it happens in a particular high frequency to people that ask for unpopular items, like the veggie burger there.

      Or the people that ask for unsalted fries so they’re fresh. The people know exactly why you ask, sometimes they get upset with the extra work so they let them cool off anyways.

        Sometimes they just take the salted fries, throw them back in the fryer for a few seconds to “wash away the salt” and then give them to you. Now you get slightly older, extra oily fries instead.

              The customer would tell right away.

              Not salt, but that goes against every food handling process, and if you did that once, management would have been informed by the customer.

              Sure, some edgy teenagers probably do it once or twice, but they’re not gonna have a job much past that day. There’s a bunch of other “legal” stuff to do, that’s gonna bother them even more.

                You sound like you’ve never worked fast food in a dying restaurant. I guarantee the things that happen in some of those places would shock you.

                  lol, there’s a fucking reason they’re dying.

                  You’re deep frying salted fries thinking they won’t notice. Why do you think no one wants to go back…?

                  If the owner lets that happen, of course the place is going to die and close, that’s why they don’t last. Places that DON’T operate like edgy teens, stay open and do it other ways.

                  It’s almost like not following food safe procedures is gonna fuck you over…

          This is the same reason I don’t get ice at restaurants. I’ve worked in too many kitchens that had mold in their ice machines.

        Which is one of many reasons why I won’t go for fast food anymore.

        I’m on a low sodium diet, and have been all of my life because high blood pressure runs in the family. (I started blood pressure meds at 17 despite being an athlete with a great diet)

        I used to swing by after work 2 days a week and get fries on my way home, a treat after the 12 hour days (2 days a week were 12 hrs due to how the workflow had to be).

        Eventually they started being cold, and like… they aren’t any good cold… haven’t bought fast food in decades as a result, even as a treat, or when on a road trip. If my health is such a problem that you’ll punish me for asking for what I need in order to spend my money with you, you aren’t getting my money ever again.

        I get it, they aren’t paid enough to give a fuck and do “extra” work, and I don’t blame the workers. That’s why I didn’t complain about cold food to management, I just stopped spending money there.
