A fella who goes by the moniker ExperiMENTALbunny nearly brought America’s most iconic food chains to its knees with one six sentence blurb on Reddit. Well, maybe not ‘to its knees,’ but McDonald’s was forced to make a public statement about ExperiMENTALbunny’s derogatory claims about the restaurant’s practices.
Last week, a Redditor posed the following question in the AskReddit thread: What did you job want you to hide from customers?
ExperiMENTALbunny, allegedly a former McDonald’s employee, set the site on fire with his claim about how the fast food chain skimped out on french fries. Check out his comment below.
If this is true, it’s an absolutely unforgivable injustice. I don’t stumble into McDonald’s at 3 a.m. and spend my hard-earned money to get boned in the fry department.

ExperiMENTALbunny’s claim was collaborated by an alleged fellow employee eloquently dubbed psychoopiates. He said:
I fucking hated that practice and basically refused to do it. Never got fired, but managed to have a few customers ask me when my shifts were the next week so they could have me filling their fries.
The fries were dirt cheap too! Case held 6 bags, each bag made 8 or 12 baskets, and each basket made 4-5 large fries filled my way. They only cost 20$ a case, so if they just filled them like I would they would net 288$ with all conservative numbers(8,4,1.5$) and assuming they were all sold in meals. This is coming from management side because I was shipping manager so I had to know all this shit.
These Reddit posts went all the way up the flagpole at Mickey D’s and they were forced to make a public statement to the Independent.
“We believe these claims to be fictional, there are no ‘secret tricks’ and we have strict operational procedures in place to ensure that fry portions are not under-filled,” a spokesperson said.
“Without a verified source we are unable to investigate this further.”
Whether there’s truth to these claims or not, I’m sure as hell going to keep a closer eye on the employees when they’re preparing my fries. And if I catch them cutting corners, I’m going to come over the counter like a bat out of hell.
