Typically, the network fast-food restaurants are valued at the portion size — if French fries are literally not fit in a box, then this is definitely a plus. In the past McDonald’s not really saving for customers in this plan, but now the fast food chain was criticized after allegations that workers initially teach tricks how to fill the box so that it seemed full, but really wasn’t.
Some employees (current and former) admitted that in the branches where they worked, the staff maintained a policy of quiet deception of customers. All employees have been taught that before you can fill a cardboard box, it is necessary to squeeze at the base. It is obvious that in this way it will put less potatoes, but no one will suspect, because such packaging will not differ from the full sample. In fact, this trick is similar to the trick with the air in a huge stack of chips, where the air takes up most of the packaging (but in contrast to the desire of the network to save on its customers, the air in the bag of chips helps to keep them intact).
Customers almost never noticethat they are being deceived, because no one usually does not consider the pieces of French fries when you visit the famous network. To expose the catch can, is that if you pour the potatoes out of the box, and then put it back. If the restaurant worker squeezed the bottom when filling, packing will not be completely filled with fries.
In response to these accusations, the leadership of McDonald’s said that it’s not true. The representatives of trading networks assert, that no tricks in order to deceive the customer does not exist, and all employees adhere to a strict technology, which ensures that the portion size corresponds to the stated on the menu.
