If you dont salt fries straight out of the fryer you may as well not bother.
Anon played himself.
Where I worked they'd get plenty of salt in the fryer. Whenever some asshat would order fries with no salt, we'd take already cooked and salted fries and just drop 'em back in the fryer for a few seconds. Crisps them up and takes some of the saltiness away. Wait... something doesn't math right in that equation. Oh well.
Low sodium foods are a legitimate health need for a lot of people -myself included since my teens through no fault of my own- and you don’t fuck with people’s health.
Just because some people abuse the system doesn’t mean you punish people who are just trying to survive. Same with allergies.
But hey I’m glad to know being born with crap genes makes me an asshat. That attitude is what’s wrong with the world.
If that’s the case you should stay away from fried foods as well.
What does fried food have to do with requiring low sodium?
More than 60% of people with high blood pressure also have high cholesterol and both conditions significantly threaten heart health.
Therefore, it’s not a stretch to assume that someone who requires a low sodium diet has high blood pressure and also has high cholesterol or is at risk.
If it’s me, I’m on a high protein, high fiber diet with a focus on living and fermented foods.
I don’t. And it’s really rude of you to assume I do and try to give me condescending, basic, advice based on that incorrect assumption (that was strongly hinted against in what you replied to) and nothing else. I have hypertension through genes. I’ve been on a low sodium diet most of my life and medication since I was 19, when I was in the military and in the best shape of my life. I’m mid 30s now. I grew up with a great diet, and active lifestyle, so eating something moderately unhealthy now and then isn’t actually a risk, but that unknown salt absolutely is.
So like.. don’t be all weird when “more than 60%” is a miss with roughly 40%. And maybe just keep it to yourself either way because even if you are right? You don’t know what they do or don’t know, or what issues they have around their health. It’s none of your business and you almost certainly aren’t helping anyone.
It is a stretch when you're hearing from that person directly.
Enjoy your McD bruv.
It's even worse to do this where I work, because our "salt" is actually a blend of seasoning, not table salt, so you literally aren't getting good fries. And, we drop them fresh per order anyways
Maybe they don't like your seasoning
"Large fries, no salt."
(sighs) "OK." (grabs salted fries, pulls out vacuum cleaner)
Coulda just asked for fresh fries. Most places will do it, and not even question it.
It might just be that they don't want fries with their salt. Anytime I did this, and haven't for a decade cuz most fast food is trash, was because the fries were too goddamned salty.
Going to McDonald's definitely feels like have fries with your salt, rather than the other way around. Can confirm
I especially use this at Wendy's simply because they oversalt the fuck outta their fries.
My mouth shrinks after a couple fries from Wendy's...
Thats my favorite part. Used to be my goto for fast food!
Anon still paid the full price and also have to wait for the fries to cook.

Fresh fries
No, no...they are French fries
FRESH FROIS MY FRIEND
This is really an off my chest moment but when I was in my teens I went out with my aunt and she pulled this. I felt terrible for making the staff do extra work just so she could have fresher and warmer fries. I get it isn't a big deal to make an extra batch, but what if two people pull this? Five? Ten? More?
There's a better trick, making your own fries.
But that doesn't affect people struggling through minimum wage salaries, and the point... tHe FuN... is to fuck people sideways.
When I worked at McDonald's in the 80s people would do exactly this. Old trick.
Do not ever do this to your local Fastfood workers they will make sure to piss in the oil for you. I gladly put in a little extra work for nice customers, but this is the absolute worst you can do to a McDonald's worker. Life hack tho, you can just dunk some of the fries you prepared already into the oil again and it will wash if the salt and make them seem fresher for a few seconds.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
