    Five Guys doesn't actually give you "extra" fries. They give you a specific portion that they've calculated into the price. They place them into the bag and let you perceive that as "extra" as part of their brand.

    • @bruh-sf4gw

      Yeah kinda true. I work at fives guys in the UK and in the training they talk about being very generous with fries ouside the cup but 90% of the time just depends on how many fries are cooked and how many orders there are. Also top tip: if you "forget" to order fries online and go to pick it up (at least where I'm working) they will just give you them for free

      Lol I’m a five guys worker in America and we profit a lot on or fries and drinks so they dont care about giving you a lot of fries because either way we make a profit off of them. It all depends on who works and how many fries were dropped but the company itself doesn’t care if we put 3 large fry worth of fries for a small because we still made a profit

    One of the cooks at Five Guys rotates from store to story near my home in New Jersey. While making my order, I greeted her and told her that I recognized her from one of their other locations. I ordered small fries; she practically filled up the entire brown bag with fries! Such a lovely gesture.

    as someone who works at five guys i recommend getting a regular sized fry (in america at least) when you go. the regular and little cup sizes look quite similar and the large looks like it has a huge difference to a regular, which might make you go for the large if you want a lot of fries, but it holds just about the same amount of fries and costs a lot more. always go with the regular

    • @kylebrouwn6768
      @kylebrouwn6768 Рік тому +7

      As another 5 guys employee, that's not entirely true. The small and regular do basically have the same amount of fries, but the large absolutely has more fries than the reg and the small. My advice is getting a little if you're on your own, and getting just one or two larges for everyone to share if you're in a group; 1 large is about the same as 4 smalls in terms of quantity, but 1 large is only half the price of 4 smalls. With so many of the people who openly complain about the prices one of the things I often see them do is buy too many small fries, when they could've just bought 1 of the bigger sizes to share and save a lot of money.

    Should have tested this with individual orders of fries. My theory is that they fill the cup, then regardless of what you order, an extra scoop goes in the big.

      But the beef actually is 100% beef, which is why it's more expensive. The other chains use fillers to cut costs.
      They also offer TONS of customization for NO ADDITIONAL COST. I think that beared mentioning in the video. The only issue is the burger buns are pretty weak and fall apart easily.

      Yeah, I thought his questioning of the split dog rather ridiculous. Anyone with half a brain could see from the grilled surface what the point was.
      Difficult to take him seriously when it feels like he’s just being snarky in an attempt to elevate himself or create a faux amusing character.
      However, it was enjoyable for me when he set off my HomePod’s Siri during the fry calculation 😂

      @@maybeskin8190 im underweight too (160 pounds at 6 feet) trying to build muscle. It doesn't work like that. Just because you don't gain weight doesn't mean its ok for you to eat. You still get the heart problems associated with eating high fat foods.

    So I can give some insight into the fry potions (at least so far as the U.K. Five Guys is concerned):
    We do not measure the fries on weight, we’re just trained to give the cup portion and then, depending on the size of said portion, either a half, full or ‘overflowing’ topper cup. I do wanna know where the estimates you guess got are from, they ain’t in the manual

    Well, pricing depends on location as well. It’s cheaper in Louisville than it is in Los Angeles or London.
    Also, it’s the price for quality as well.

    For the fries, it’s 2 extra scoops per one overall order. So since your order consisted of 3 orders of fries in one order, you only got the two scoops. The better way to measure is to measure all the extra fries with each cup of fries or have 3 separate orders and not one massive order.

    The fact that they cut the hot dog in half for some reason makes it better. That and fries and your set.

      It’s like Five Guys tried to go a tad overboard with the American fast food stereotype over here to make it "authentic" (honestly it probably actually is the closest thing we have here to authentic American). It’s weird.

    as someone in the UK who works at five guys the patties are strickly weighed out to 3.5 ounces or about 100 grams by hand using scales, but as its cooked it loses some weight obviously. and we cut the dogs so we can add toppings to it easier

    Is Five Guys overpriced? Yes
    but are we still gonna buy their food? Yup
    because no matter the prices, we will find ourselves still crawling back. Their shakes and peanuts are pretty good. And yes, they have the peanuts there as something to keep the customers occupied as you wait for your food. They don't want customers to stare into the kitchen
