However, this isn’t really about one order. This feels like a larger issue with transparency around portion sizes. The small and medium fry bags appear nearly identical, yet there’s still a price difference between them. This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has adjusted sizes (it happened in the early 2000s) but at least then the packaging clearly reflected the change. Now, it feels like the name is different more than the portion.
While I’m grateful for how the staff handled it, giving extra fries or refunds case-by-case doesn’t address the broader issue. They can’t realistically offer free fries to everyone who questions the portion size. The pricing simply doesn’t feel aligned with what’s being served, and long-time customers notice these patterns.
The employees did their part and handled it well. My concern is with the lack of transparency at the corporate level.
Lots of paid parking but sometimes, it’s just not enough.
