Fast Food Employees' Most Loathed Menu Items


You can pretty much consider the following collection of menu items to be the foods you should absolutely avoid at all costs the next time you find yourself dining out at a fast food establishment. Honestly, some of these seem like they're already a terrible idea when considered at surface level. 

1.

Font - 3 8 Awards Former BK employee of 6 years here. The food was actually good if it was fresh. The issue is the staff/ management. Sauce bottles would never get completely emptied and cleaned. People wouldn't change their gloves between doing different tasks, or would be texting with those gloves then make your food. Also, all the items that go into making your food (lettuce, cheese, etc) was all tracked via time stickers (think a little clock). So if you brought out new cheese, the rules wer

Font - CirceAlleghri • 22h 8 1 Award I worked at a pizza place that was infested with roaches, especially in the back room where we would leave the pizza dough out to sit. We would also find roaches in the ice maker, in the mechanical parts as well as the ice itself. If a restaurant has roaches nothing is safe. O Reply 1 6.6k ...

Font - Successful-Cat8572 • 1d 3 8 5 Awards Used to work at a small fast food place and during training my manager got mad at me for throwing out slimy corn. She showed me how she would just rinse the slime off in the sink and put it back. I find corn suspicious now. Reply 10.5k ...

Font - more_beans_mrtaggart · 20h 4 Awards So l'm a rat guy. I block them out of restaurants. I was doing my thing one night, and the restaurant owner is on the phone, trying to get his fryer filter repaired. He told me he'd been trying for weeks but the co was booked solid. I've got a degree in engineering, so I said l'd check it out. I managed to get it apart, and get a look inside. Inside were two large dead rats, or what was left of them, bones and fluff mostly. They had got in the machine v

Font - figbean • 23h My bro managed a Weinerschnitzel. Unbelievably they catered lunch for a few local high schools. (As did Ameci's Pizza). The chili wasn't up to school standard and they had to add more meat to it in order to pass LAUSD code. Of course they used old burgers, dogs, and expired ground beef from the freezer. Bro bluntly told me, "Never eat our chili." Reply 1 3.9k 3 ...

Rectangle - CySec_404 · 23h 3 8 13 Awards I work at McDonald's, nothing in my store is actually gross we are really clean and follow procedures, but I wouldn't have a filet o fish with the sauce because the sauce makes a disgusting sound coming out of the sauce gun Reply 10.4k ... +

Font - Vanilla_Neko · 1d I worked at Wendy's nobody ever fucking orders the homestyle chicken so if you do it's probably been sitting in a warmer tray for an hour or two since we just can't afford to throw out the old ones all the time but have to keep some on hand It will probably be hard and dry and we probably won't give you a refund Reply 2.5k ...

Font - Prannke • 1d 26 8 6 Awards I was a shift supervisor at a fast food place and years later, I still refuse to eat anything with ice cream in it. The machine we had was always covered in mold and spoiled cream while the owner's "fix" was to scrape off a layer of mold and spray some clorox on it. Q Reply 10.7k 3 •..

Font - Snowblind321• 21h I work at a fast casual baja style mexican grill place that is a smaller competitor to Chipotle. I'm the lead cook and make every protein, sauce, bean and hot item in house with fresh ingredients. That being said our most popular protein is our sweet pork. For a single batch of pork (60 Ibs) I will use close to 10 Ibs of straight white sugar, 3 gallons of coke and 3 lbs of butter. The shit taste like fuxking candy and is crazy addictive. There are folks who come in every

Font - razzi123 · 22h 3 1 Award I work at a mcdonalds. While there isnt much that I wont eat (I just have stupid low standards for food) There are some...riskier things to eat. There's a reason that the icecream machine is down alot. Sometimes its for legit maintenance, other times tho, its to clean out the mold that likes to grow in the liquid mix. I only found out after a year, was filling it one day and looked down. The stuff i saw was nightmare fuel and ruined me on their soft serve for awhi

Font - MichelHollaback • 1d 1 Award I worked at Wendy's in high school. For me, that item is the chili. Whenever a burger is cooked it is only considered "good" for a certain amount of time. So many minutes after cooking and the burger didn't get used it would be thrown in a bucket next to the grill. At the end of each shift the person dumps all the old burgers into a larger bucket of old burgers which may or may not be covered. They also may be from xays prior. Overnight they chill, the grease

Font - lazyllama13 · 23h I worked at a Subway in my senior year of high school. What disturbed me was how the tuna came packaged: in a big metallic bag (to keep it fresh, I guess.) Then when we had to take it out, it would make this squelching noise. And because I made so many subs, completely put me off from eating those sandwiches ever again. Reply 968 ...

Font - metsmonkey · 1d 1 Award I currently manage a red-colored fast food place. The only item that I will not eat on the menu is the breakfast burrito. Everything else is cooked fresh in the store except for that item. Other people are claiming other items are bad due to poor waste control practices, but I always tell my employees "if you wouldn't pay for it, do not serve it". Emphasis on the PAY for it. People pay a premium for our food compared to arch-based or crown-based places, so they bet

Font - Crazybunnybitch • 1d 3 Awards Dairy Queen strawberry cheesecake blizzard. When the cheesecake gets low you're supposed to fill it up a certain way where the new cheesecake goes on bottom and what's left of the old stuff is put on top to ensure it's used first and it all stays fresh. Well let me tell you that shit is like a brick after it's been in the container long enough, you constantly take it out and put it back so it's always thawing and refreezing and essentially freezing together.

Font - mesembryanthemum · 22h Cleanliness and not serving bad food varies from store to store. The Taco Bell I worked at took pride in our cleanliness* and we followed food safety rules. During down times we'd get lent out to other stores. We came back from some and we were all "dude. Never ever eat there". *We always passed the health Department inspections with flying colors. The only points we ever got taken off for was once not realizing that they had changed how far off the floor shelving h
