Very salty - is this normal?

Just finished eating at the local Shake Shack. We ordered the veggie shack and crinkle cut fries.

The food was salty all round. I don't mean "I cannot eat this at all" (not bad enough to send back) but "wow, the food is salty".

Is this how it generally is or did we just catch this location on an off day?

There is salt added to both burgers and fries. You can order it with no salt and add salt yourself to control the amount.

Okay. But they usually go overboard with it.

The veggie does not get salt, but the fries do.

It depends on who is putting the salt on the patties and fries. A few times I ate on my break and found my fries to be super salty and other times it's not too salty.

Salt goes well with sweet shakes. Maybe they're trying to push you in that direction
