IT support whose company worked with McD again
The funny thing is that McD itself is inconsistent with spelling, ie the words that appear on monitors, in the software that reports menu item sales, in the software that says what ingredients go into menu items (including the paper it is wrapped in and the container it goes in). So caramel is in some places spelled correctly, in other places it is "carmel." I do not recall at all what the displays would say for fries but I kind of think there were plural and singular inconsistencies there as well.

You can definitely order “a large fry” or “small fry”, and will probably get what you intend; but know it’s grammatically incorrect.
You can't really think that leaving out the size of the fry order is better than leaving out the s, or that asking for "some small fries", which implies that you want each fry to be smaller rather than a smaller number of fries, is correct.
Plus the "for the kids" thing is so bizarrely pretentious, I can't even.

Correct:
"One order of fries, please".
"Can I get some small fries for the kids?".

Customer service across the local McDonalds is pretty awful as it is , are they actually willing to make to order orders?
Yeah, this isn't worth the effort. If you are at a McDonalds, you just get what you get.
Go to 5 Guys or Shake Shack if you want made to order.
OP you just found out a 30 year old “hack” to get fresh food at McD. But as PP suggested, we now we have restaurants that actually make fast food to order. And actually McDonskds now assembles food to order as well. It’s been 20 years since they grabbed pre-wrapped burgers from bins. But you may still need to ask for no salt to get hot fries.

The only thing I eat from there maybe once a year are a small fry or an “icecream” cone. I do ask for hot fries.
What is this trend to where people call French Fries "fry" singular, like they are only getting ONE french fry? LMAO!
“A small fry” is an item. It’s not “a small fries.” The other PP is correct.
You are full of it.
Sorry you’re illiterate.
Okay,
Mr. Fry.
+1
Mr. Small fry.

Tbh nothing is “fresh”- it’s all premade there. You’ll just get one that hasn’t been preassembled.

The McD near me is always busy so they're constantly making burgers and fries. Comes how hot all the time.

It is just another examply of the dumbing down of our country and English by the internet generation all talking slang and using abbreviated words.
Some bean counter probably figured that dropping a couple letters also saves X amount of money over X amount of time.

Used to work for an IT company that provided McD support
When they started using fresh beef (quarter pound) it changed a lot. They have monitors that track projected and actual production to tell them how much to have ready for the grill, any specifications for an order (onions, no onions, pickle or no, etc etc) are all tracked, so yes, this stuff is actually made to order.
I tried a qtr pound burger a few times just to see. I did learn to order with NO salt because the food is otherwise way too salty for my taste. But have have concluded that burger patties just don't taste that great. I'll enjoy a smashburger (with the edges crispy) with fried onions from time to time and once in a great while make burgers at home with thicker patties I season and shape myself, and add several toppings but most of the time if I order a burger somewhere, even sit down, it's just not that great a meal.

I hate tartar sauce, so when I get it, it’s fresh.
I rarely eat there, but my special requests are always hot and fresh.
What does "fresh" mean at McDonald's? Nothing. When i ask for a cheeseburger w/o mustard (because I am from the NYC area and we know that is horrid--fun fact, NYC area McDonalds don't put mustard on burgers) here in Virginia, they are not firing up the grill to make a new patty for me, they are just going to leave the mustard off when they assemble the burger using what patties they have available.
What’s wrong with mustard?
Ww just don't put it on burgers there it is not a thing.
