'Underpacked, overpriced’ says netizen after McDonald's trainee measure fries by weight

SINGAPORE: A netizen took a video of a McDonald’s trainee at work, particularly at the french fry station, where she can be seen weighing a pack of large fries.

However, when the customer received the order, the red carton looked missing a bunch of french fries, leading one commenter to write, "Underpacked, overpriced."

Many commenters appeared to agree with the IG post. For the sake of comparison, this is what a large fries looks like in a Facebook post from Friday, July 14, from the McDonald's Rivervale page.

The account also recently posted this.

However, the McDonald's Singapore website shows a large fries order that is no longer in the red cardboard packet but in a smaller-looking paper packet instead.

In May, a disgruntled  McDonald’s customer posted a picture of a barely full “large” french fries order. /TISG https://theindependent.sg/disappointed-mcdonalds-customer-posts-photo-of-barely-full-large-french-fries-order/
