    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.
