Pretty Fry For A French Guy

, , , , | Right | January 29, 2026

I work at a Five Guys, an American burger chain known for frying the French fries in peanut oil, and having sacks of both potatoes and peanuts around the store.

Customer: *To my manager.* “Are your French fries made from real potatoes?”

My manager looks at the 50 Lb sacks of potatoes that the customer is standing next to, and the large sign on the wall stating the name and location of the farm where today’s potatoes have been sourced from. He then turns back to the customer.

Manager: “No, ma’am. Our French fries are actually made from French people. Who do you think those five guys were?”

Customer: “Ugh! You could have just said yes!”

Manager: “And you could have just used common sense.”

The customer walked out. That manager quit a few months later; he couldn’t deal with stupid customers. He said he saw better problem-solving skills at home from his newborn baby.
