Hey fast food workers who work the fries, I don’t give a fuck if you hate salt, put the correct damn amount of salt on my fries, I don’t want to taste the concept of having salt on my fries! No, I want my fries to remove all liquid from my mouth so I can guzzle down my flavoured sugar water!
You’re not making me healthier by lowering my salt intake, it’s fast food! I took all the veg off my burger and doubled the cheese! Now give me my salty chips god damn you!
Having worked at McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s I can tell you what’s happening.
McDonald’s has a patented salt dispenser that perfectly salts their fries. You just dump the salt and it stops on its own. The problem is a lot of employees think they’re smarter than corporate and give it another few goes.
At the other restaurants, there’s some policy like “put X amount of salt” but it’s just a fucking container of salt and you’re supposed to magically know exactly however many grams to use. Notice I put “X amount of salt” because in those places I had no clue what the number was despite holding management positions.
