(Read the TWO articles below to understand what I’m talking about).
This is their meal the last time they time ( 12-7-2019), brought it home. Look at the date….. this cheating fries in NOT something new.
Update… Jan 4, 2020
I asked them to show me their food. They were not happy since they only had a few minutes to eat. I told them to look for this but… they are YOUNG and don’t want to be bothered. They were really mad when I showed them though.

A McDonald’s Employee Leaked How It’s Been Cheating Customers Out Of Fries
You’ve been there before. A few times, maybe. That moment when, just as you’re getting ready to inhale a combo meal from McDonald’s, you pull out your box of French fries only to notice that the medium you ordered contains around the same amount of fries that a small would. So what gives? According to a Reddit thread, McDonald’s employees have a secret way of cheating you out of a regular amount of fries.
A user named ExperiMENTALbunny responded to the thread claiming to have worked at McDonald’s, and revealed the interesting “pinching” method that employees of the fast food chain use to make it look like there are more French fries in your carton than there actually are.
“I worked at McDonald’s and they taught me how to pinch the fry carton just right while putting the fries into them so that it looked full, but actually wasn’t,” he wrote. *gasp* If this is true then it’ll probably hurt your heart to imagine all of the delicious French fries you’ve been cheated out of throughout your life. Then again, it’s not entirely unbelievable, since McDonald’s employees apparently have a lot of secret practices that non-employees aren’t even aware of. (I posted this article at the end of this one. wait until you read that one too).
Still, there was one case when this little trick didn’t work out too well for ExperiMENTALbunny. He continued with his comment, “I only had 1 customer call me out on it. He shook the fries out into his bag and poured them back into the fry carton himself and it only filled up half way, so I had to give him more fries. I was impressed and embarrassed. It’s been 7 years and I can still see his face.”
The next time you feel like you’ve been shorted by McDonald’s in regards to those beloved French fries, you’ll at least know why. At that point you should take a cue from the customer above.

10 Things McDonald’s Staff Do But Would Never Admit To
Wait — THAT’S why the milkshake tasted so bland?!
One former employee reveals what really went down when customers (and managers) weren’t watching, but don’t worry — some of them work in your favor. Here’s what happens more often than you might imagine.
1. Eat the leftovers once the restaurant closes. Freshly cooked nuggets we miiiight have accidentally cooked 5 minutes before closing taste even better after a 10-hour shift.
2. If you’re rude to us we’ll subliminally get our own back. Extra ice in your coke? Squashing your burger before we put it in the bag? Only half filling your fry box? Missing something off your order on purpose? Check. Check. Check. Check.
3. Sometimes your vanilla milkshake will have no flavor in it because we can’t be bothered to replace the empty bag of syrup. Plain shake mix is basically vanilla anyway, right?
4. We customize our own burgers to eat during breaks and basically created thesesecret menu hacks. A Big Mac with bacon? A McChicken Sandwich with cheese? Or that Chicken Big Mac that’s only available in Australia? Yep, we’ve definitely made that before.
5. If you’re kind and polite, we’ll probably give you extra McFlurry toppings.Have you ever had caramel sauce on a McFlurry? Or had sauce and chocolate at the bottom of the cup, ice cream in the middle and more sauce and chocolate on the top? Bloody fantastic, believe us.
6. We’ve definitely said we’ve run out of apple pies, even if we haven’tbecause they take approx. 4,000 years to cook and literally nobody has time for that. Sorry.
7. We may or may not take advantage of the Monopoly vouchers we find lying around. Sure, why wouldn’t we go to another restaurant and get a free Sausage and Egg McMuffin or Cheeseburger? Free food is free food.
8. And those free coffee vouchers you hand over when you’ve painstakingly collected all six stickers?Yeah, we don’t always rip those up and put them in the bin like we should …
9. If we go for a ‘toilet break’ mid-shift, we usually go for a snack break, too.Maybe a bottle of orange juice or something from the huge walk-in chillers out the back.
10. We play games with the old chicken nuggets. Before we chuck old nuggets out, we’ll sometimes have some fun with them. You only need two people to play, one to bat (using a bun spatula as the racket, obvs) and the other person to bowl. Nugget football works too. Waste not, want not!
