Fast food workers reveal what not to order

[lovemachine]

These are just some of the reasons why I hardly ever want to eat out anymore...

 

[pfinley82]

interesting.... Give us more pfinley... What would you stay away from?

I stick by the restaurants that you can see the kitchen.... If you can see it, they clean it! I have been in some shady Chinese restaurants, especially today.... Glad I never ate at the new one in Anderson!

I had Wendy's chili last Monday for the first time. It was great. I'd eat it again as long as I didn't [STRIKE]buy a finger and put it in the chili[/STRIKE] get sick from it. I mean, it's not like they leave the burger meat out for days before they use it.

Your right, its not out... its in the walk in... for 31 days.

Why do they store it for so long before putting in the chilli?

People freak out about meat in a cooler but will eat all kinds of pizza that sits on the counter all day at Lucas pizza! WTF????

Why do they store it for so long before putting in the chilli?

Because that is as long as they are allowed by law in IN. After that point they are forced to throw it out. Therefore, when they fill a new bag they right 31 days from that date on it.

Chili meat is wasted meat. I'm sure somebody wondered what they could do with all the wasted meat and they decided to start selling chili. Ideally, you don't want to make chili meat or just enough to make the days chili. If a store has 30 days worth of chili meat in the walk in, I'd be firing every grill guy and manager that store had. I think on a few occasions, we actually put meat on the grill for the express purpose of having enough to make chili.

Anyone else work or worked in fast food?

Yawp. Worked my way through college at Taco Hell, ending up as a shi(f)t manager.

After I left that gig, it took me a couple years before I could eat there again.

Never worked fast food but my buddy used to go commando when he worked at Edwards drive in in beech grove and would put the tenderloins down his butt crack before putting them on the grill. If it wasn't too hot, he would do it again before serving it.

I got sick of eating prime rib while while working at Mountain Jacks in Lafayette. I used to beg for something besides PR for my meal.

Towards the end of the jug it is all watered down crap!

Half sweet, half unsweetened is still like syrup. I drink straight unsweetened.

I have worked in about all restaurants. None of them are perfect. All managers are tight wads and dont want to fix coolers running at 45 instead of 35. Some worse than others.

None of those facts (for the things on the list I have eaten) really gross me out, but do they seriously use an entire pound of sugar for 1 gallon of tea?

I once worked in a sign shop that shared a parking lot with an Indian restaurant. Yea you can imagine where this is going. I drove by an area behind the restaurant, and saw two employees on the pavement cutting up chickens on a piece of corrugated cardboard. Luckily for me I had always been so repulsed by the smell of Indian food that I had never eaten in the place. At this point I couldn't eat that stuff if it smelled like bacon ice cream.

2. Wendy's Chilli - Meat from patties that sat on grill to long

FYI I worked for BK a while back ago and their chili is the same thing. Personally the things I saw happen in the back made me quit eating there period. Word to the wise if you don't want extra unwanted ingredients on your burger don't order it special especially during rush times.

We know the meat is not real but now I saw an employee mention even the beans are fake????
