McDonald's worker shares tip to get fresh piping hot chips every time without asking for 'no salt'

There's nothing more disappointing than finding out you've landed yourself with some cold, stale chips.

One way that customers have tried to guarantee roasting hot chips is to request 'no salt. '

Since the fries that have already been made are usually already salted, it means there's a good chance you can get a freshly made batch - and if you still want salt you can add some afterwards.

According to a former McDonald's employee who posts on TikTok under the username @jodessy, this isn't the best way to get your hands on fresh fries, writes The Mirror.

The user told people to stop asking for no salt due to it causing too much hassle. She explained that you're probably better off simply asking for chips.

She said: "Asking for fries no salt is just annoying. Just say you want the fries dropped fresh - nine times out of 10 the fries are already dropped fresh."

She also outlined why the McDonald's milkshake and ice cream machine always seems to be 'broken' at every store.

"The ice cream machine is rarely broken, at least at my location," she said. "We just didn't want to change those heavy bags of shake mix."

The clip received 24.3 million views as well as thousands of likes and comments from social media users.

Responding to her video, one user said: "I worked at McDonald's and these are all accurate."

Another user said: "I say no salt on the fries everywhere - not only because I want them fresh though but because people really do be putting too much salt."

"The ice cream bags aren't that heavy. I just think employees are just lazy and don't want to make any ice cream," wrote a third.

One user added: "I worked at McDonald's for three years and the reason the ice cream machine is always broken for me was because it goes through a cleaning cycle."
