I've been working in a french fry stand for about three years now and I've met a lot of interesting people along the way. When you work in food service, there's no single type of people you meet. You get to see them all, and some of them have some interesting questions. Here are some of the best questions I've actually been asked while working in a french fry stand.
1. Do you guys have napkins?
Yes. Right in front of you along with everything else you're about to ask for.
Recommended for you
2. Is there ketchup?
No. No one eats ketchup on fries so we don't bring it.
3. What kind of fries are these?
Umm... Potatoes?
4. Can I have a funnel cake?
Yeah... If you go to the funnel cake stand.
5. Are these hot?
Not at all. We fry our fries in cold oil. It's our specialty.
6. Can I have fresh ones?
I mean, you just watched me get these out of the fryer but I guess I can get you new ones.
7. Are these fresh cut?
This question is only ever asked when someone is actively cutting potatoes ten feet away.
8. Are these free?
Yes. I'm holding the money so I can pay you to take them.
9. How much are fries?
There aren't seven signs hanging up telling you or anything.
10. Do you take cards?
We're in the middle of no where with no electricity and I'm only holding a stack of cash.... You tell me.
11. Why are my fries so small?
Because we have little potatoes?
12. Is it hot in there?
I mean it's 100 degrees out, I'm next to a fryer, and I'm practically swimming in my own sweat... It's actually pretty cold in here.
13. Are the fries any good?
I mean... would I tell you even if they weren't?
14. Do you sell fries?
...That's pretty much all I sell.
