No fast food chain has any milk in the shakes. That is why they are
just called shakes.
It is a bag of powder they dump in the chiller machine, first thing in
the morning and by the time they open, it is a frozen slush. When they
are in a hurry they put a scoop of ice in there.

Fries are an interesting thing. It is the highest profit item in a
fast food joint. Better than coffee, tea and way ahead of the soft
drinks. That is why they are always fiddling with the recipe, trying
to get the ones people want.

I got a lot of insight into those operations working in the Wendys for
7 years but I really learned about the operation when we were
integrating the new computer systems into Burger King. I was one of
the T3 guys who taught the guys who taught the managers. We knew just
about everything there was to know about how a Burger King runs and
where the money goes.
A couple years later Wendys adopted the same basic system and we
rolled the first one out in Naples. I got to meet Dave. Wendys liked
us in Ft Myers because of the way we ran the older register systems.

In reality, I liked that business better than the glass house
operations although it was pretty unpopular with some guys who took
themselves too seriously.

BTW, even is slave wage Florida, I never saw anyone making minimum
wage.

I avoid most of the chain burger joints, though I do have a Five Guys
burger and fries once in a while. I've convinced the local FGs to NOT
overcook the burger, which they tend to do, and to keep the salt off my
fries.
