Why Can't a French Fry be Fresh And Limp!

This isn't really a question it's more me expressing my irritation. Yes, the french fries were fresh, I stood there and watched the person cook them. Yes, they were limp and undercooked. But that is impossible the reporting system tells me, I must go back and change an answer. I sometimes wonder why they ask us the questions if they won't let us answer them.

Why they were super fresh as in almost raw. Just put what you need to and if there's a place to put narrative include that they were fresh but under cooked in the narrative.

If it's the report where there is very limited narrative, and you have to pick about 3 different adjectives to describe the food, I have had similar frustrations...I feel your pain.
I like fries cooked crispy and snap when bent. I hate marking them down for making my perfect fry when the client requires them to be home style and bendable. They give you three hundred characters to explain under cooked after the checkbox.

Short and to the point is what they want.
Yesterday my fries were browned and crispy. I had to mark them down for not being up to standard, although I liked them.

I have the same frustration. I find that when this happens just fill out the form as it "forces" you to do..........THEN explain the fry issue in the comments section..........the comments sort of supplement the fact that that the question is poorly worded or insufficent. You can compensate for this "forced regidity" in your comments section. ALSO when they don't give enough room for comments - I sometimes "force" the comments by writing in an availalbe, but "wrong" box such as the address block where they give you 300 characters to list the address- but you only need 50 characters: use that block and write: EXTRA INFORMATION: The fries were freshly made but still limp. This questionaire as writen does not allow for that situation so I am writing it here. These are just "word arounds".

You can't quote Gordon Ramsey without throwing in several F bombs.

Gordon Ramsey as a restaurant / fast food / hotel mystery shopper?

Hahahahahah I'd watch the show. Every other word would be the F bomb if he visited some of the places I've accepted assignments for. The producers would have to keep reminding him to, "Be discreet Gordon, remember you're suppose to be discreet..."

Hahahahahah LMAO
if it's important, I always send an email to the scheduler so it can be passed on.. it IS important!~
it's not important and I put the info in the short narrative​. This was just me expressing my irritation at the reporting system.

I JUST HAD THIS EXACT PROBLEM! Literally, the same two word choices and I was so irritated while trying to decide which one I was ultimately going to choose. lol, so relieved I'm not the only one!

That almost happened to me the last shop I did. I like them crispier than they're supposed to be, but am used to the way they want them and "grade" them accordingly. Last time they were very firm--just shy of crisp. And yummy! I didn't mark down because they weren't cooked to the point of actual crispiness. But they were close.

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
I've struggled with this same thing when it asks me to choose 3 adjectives to describe the service, and one person was lame but the rest were great. But you have to go with all great adjectives or all bad adjectives.
