6. I STARTED WEIGHING MY FOOD!
Sun Jun 7, 2026, 05:32 PM
Sunday

About 2 years ago. It was getting ridiculous.

I downloaded the nutritional charts when I noticed my fast food orders were coming up 20%, 25%, even 35% short. No sh*t. It had become chronic, at virtually every FF restauraunt in town. 🤬

I can tell by feel, with confidence, if my favorite orders are more than about 10% light.

I WILL MAKE THEM RE-MAKE THE ORDER.

I will take it back to the counter, ask for the shift supervisor, and ask them to weigh it. Not one ever has.

They will ocassionally balk. They will scowl. They will look at me in disgust.

Then they will re-make the order. Not one has refused. They know.

In cases of undue resistance, ask for the manager or owner, and utter the words "CLASS ACTION". I've only had to do that once. It was the franchisee. He practically wet himself.

I'm known around town now. 😄
I'm treated with respect.
My orders now weigh.

I dont worry about my order being tampered with because line staff are sympathetic. Quite.

Download the nutritional charts.
Travel with a dietary scale if it helps. That will just freak them out even more.

Knowledge is power.
