“Even though we’re pushing through pricing, the consumer is tolerating it well,” he said in October analyst call.

    Ever asked for it fresh / cooked to order? Easier in the restaurant, but in the drive through you can mention you don’t mind parking and waiting. If unsuccessful, you can politely get more elaborate with the request: “I know I’ll have to park since dropping the fries and cooking the burger to order will take some time, but I don’t mind at all. Just as long as it’s fresh, please!”

    Fries w/o salt would let you control that variable on your own as well.

    Your mileage will certainly vary but cold McD is really barely worth paying for. Scalding hot McD is harder to knock: e.g. they bully suppliers into giving them quality long Russets for their fries.

      Order the meat without salt too. They all season on the flattop so it’ll force them to make fresh.

          I’ve done the job, I know exactly how much work I’m asking for for 90secs under a clamshell. The reality is there’s too much salt on the food anyway, take it up with the boss dictating not the consumer looking to minimize damage to their health.
