Something doesn't add up there. I used to consult for McD and they have very strict metrics relating to the amount of food waste (anything greater than the defined portion size is categorized as waste even if it's going to a customer). There's a specific metric called conversion efficiency which measures the quantity of potatoes entering the restaurant vs. the number of fries sold - a number greater than 1 means there's higher waste, and a number lower than 1 means they're holding on to more product. Ideally the number will be 1. If they're filling shopping bags worth of fries for 1 order of large fries, then there's something weird going on there. Alternatively McD has a menu item for a "basket" of fries - they could potentially just be serving the basket of fries order but in the large fry carton
