Some will not even have noticed, while others will experience the indignation with silence regarding McDonald's policy regarding its ketchup packets.
It's sweet, sauce a gift from the gods before I poured it with generosityhamburgers, potatoes, macbites, Nuggets and any frying or preparation from the fast food chain, however for some time this portion of these single-dose sachets have been significantly reduced.
And it is not just a sensation, but it is a proven fact that the largest fast food multinational has decided reduce the quantities of ketchup that he previously gave away without looking at his clientele, and that on many occasions, ended up with envelopes piled up in the refrigerators of homes around the world.
“One sachet per serving of potatoes”
To the inquiries of this editor without a response from the company, are added other observations made in person at the company's fast food establishments, where the staff assures that the new policy in this regard has come with the price crisis and inflationwhich has made this drastic measure taken: “One sachet per serving of potatoes,” the employees explain.
Likewise, this policy is accompanied by another golden rule. This single envelope for ordered potatoes is always one, regardless of size of the ordered menu or of the requested potatoes. That is, each container of potatoes comes with only one envelope.
What's more, when you order from the electronic machines at the McDonald's entrance, you can add the ketchup packet. manually (it does not appear by default), but if you do not request it, the company will be saving that envelope that it should include in the order in question.
This decision that has been experienced in all the fast food chain's locations in recent weeks It didn't seem right to everyone, with some complaints and jokes on social networks. However, certainly, the reduction in the consumption of this sauce will do a nutritional favor to the chain's clientele.

Now, all this is not the only thing that one can turn to the counter and request the envelopes you want which, we have verified, are granted to you, normally without applying any extra charge.
However, the reduction in spending by the fast food company in this sense is most considerable, since it is a decision with global impact.
