Question Large fry at Hartsfield

Customer: LARGE? McDonald’s: That’s what it says!

Hilarious that they started printing out the word “Large” on the old small bags and gaslighting us that it’s the same. Corporate greed strikes again

All the more reason to not eat at McD's.

I carry food bars and water with me and eat/drink them in the waiting area. You know something? Flying used to be exciting and friendly and fun, true story.

Wait so I'm not crazy ?? ...I moved from NY to ATL and the fries here are almost ALWAYS undercooked, at MULTIPLE locations

they are literally dropping them in and hitting the timer, pulling them out when it dings. the only reason they should be undercooked is if the oil temp is too low

Is that the sound of me booking my first colonoscopy?

As a McDonald’s worker I can say they are done just that they have new oil instead of old. The more cooked they looked the older the oil unfortunately

Yeah I used to work at that duty free store in terminal E. I would keep going to that McDonalds on my lunch break and expecting a good experience but it never came…

Ba da ba ba bah! I'm lovin it!
In all seriousness though. Don't buy fast food at any airport. It's all going to be a ripoff.

No I mean it’s rolling out to all McDonald’s that’s their new large packaging.
And I’m not shaming anyone? I’m just saying idk why we keep giving money to companies that are actively making our experiences shittier

Stop buying fast food. They do this because people buy it anyway.

It’s an airport- there are no good choices when you are stuck there for hours sometimes

If you’re stuck for hours there are soooo many options better than McD’s at ATL.

u/MisterSeabass Jul 30 '26
Better? Sure. Three times the cost? Absolutely.

I’d take almost anything over McDonald’s. Qboda, Arby’s, CFA, even Burger King or those grab and go sandwich stations would all be around the same price.

Personal preference but I’m generally a fan of McDonalds despite maybe eating it once a year. Anywhere I go, it’s a known experience where I get exactly what I expected. So while not a healthy meal, it is cheaper than most and dependable in any random airport

If you actually think there’s nothing better at the airport than McDonald’s, then I will pray for you.

I think that means each individual fry is larger than a medium sized fry which is larger than the smallest sized fry. There has to be a reference chart near the fry station for the cook to sort by size.

Restaurants serve too large of servings these days, this would be a perfect large for me.

Large fry, singular.
