“ Bonus fries are the extra fries you find at the bottom of your bag,” explained the manager. “What we do is, we put the fries in, along with the food, and then give the bag a quick shake before handing it out the window to the customer. That shake causes some of the fries to fall out of their container to the bottom of the bag. When the customer sees those “extra” fries at the bottom he subconsciously thinks he got extra fries. Really, he gets what he paid for, but he leaves happy, thinking he got something extra out of us. All we did was shake the bag a little.
