This used to be the “I want fries with no salt” hack. What you’re really doing is gumming up the line to feel special by getting minimum wage workers to cater to you briefly.
All you are to McDonald’s corporation (and every other public facing corporation) is a wallet with a dollar bill hanging out of it. They’re always trying to figure out new ways to fish that dollar bill away from you. Corporate promises profits to their shareholders, and there are a lot of middle managers who have to keep justifying their positions every quarter by showing results.
Once the “make it fresh” hack starts showing up as a red mark on a spreadsheet in corporate, it’s going to be gone. Oh, they’ll find a way to spin it with a “always fresh” marketing gimmick, but it’s going to be gone and your stale fries will be deemed fresh because it’s best for business. You may win for a few meals, but the Clown always wins in the long run.
“Are these ‘always fresh’ french fries fresh cut, never frozen?”
