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.
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.
They found a frozen dead rat in the hotel ice machine my wife's used to work.
They won’t do that due to dietary/allergy restrictions, that’s asking for a lawsuit.
Happened when I work in fast food.
Are there people allergic to salt?
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…
I’ve never heard that one but I’ve heard some fast food workers say that when they get those customers, the unsalted fries are typically ones that have been left out longer, not a fresh made order.
When I worked in fast food, unsalted fries were such a rare request it didn't make sense to keep any on hand. Especially considering fries are only good for 15-20 minutes. Also, we didn't have anywhere to keep them. They had to come straight out of the fryer, or else they'd have to be stored under the heat lamp on metal that is slathered with salty oil.
that salty oil is what makes 'em so good. i don't need extra poured over the top, though, just dump the fries in the bin and scoop 'em right up. there's enough salt in the bin already.
