      Because they don't have a "secret menu" the worker has to modify an original item and charge more for it just because something needs to be added.
      I have worked at Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's and Wendy's. None of them have a section for "secret orders"

      @@methatguy5996 that doesn't work that way, because then at the end of the day management will not be able to explain that ham disappeared and extra burger meat is left over. I wish I could change the price myself, but that isn't allowed. Would be ordered as a cheeseburger, without meat, only cheese, add ham. You would pay +$1.50 on top of the price of a regular cheeseburger, because it must be ordered as "add ham" and they don't deduct price for removing meat, as people have abused that to get free food (aka McDonald's ketchup cheese bun exploit)

    As someone who has worked in fast food the idea of a secret menu has always been funny because people online get it into their heads like its a real offical thing and then they go to the fast food place and are confronted with the reality that no one who works there has any idea what they are talking about.

    Former Burger King employee here, that person would have been repremanded at the store i worked at for how they handled that situation. I was taught that "have it your way" is so important that they would go above and beyond to get as close to what the customer wanted as possible. To let a customer who obviously wanted to buy something drive away with nothing would have been sacrilege and probably wouldnt get you fired for it but youd be on thin ice if it was a reoccurring thing.

There is a genuine secret menu item called the "Superman Burrito" which you can get at specific locations. I know this exists because it was posted above the cook station. Here are the ingredients if you ever do a part 2!

      Edit: They carry ham during breakfast so I imagine if he didn't go early in the morning that's why. They will not give you breakfast items if it's not breakfast same as mcdonalds. If he did go early it probably was management being assholes. I can't even begin to tell you how bad fast food managers can be.

    Secret menu items usually exist because the store has all the ingredients there to make it. It's just not on the menu. If you've ever worked in a kitchen at any fast food chain you know what I mean. Pretty much ever burger or item is just a different combination of the same things in every other menu item. The only difficult part is if it had a special sauce that is no longer supplied. You have a few hurdles like the cashier saying "no sorry we don't sell that" and there being no employees who actually remember how to make it. But typically you can get anything they used to sell.

    I HATED working at Starbucks years ago when the term secret menu started becoming a big thing. We had set drink rules, and people would come in saying "I want to order off the secret menu. Let me get a Butterbeer" or whatever. I had to tell them outright. "Secret menu's not real, tell me exactly how you want your drink and what you want in it."
    People would get huffy about it but like just because some blogger said some buzzwords people automatically think it's real.
    To this day hearing "secret menu" pisses me off. I hate when companies play into it for a buck because I remember how difficult it would make an already busy day.

    One of the more well-known secret menu items in the fast food industry (at least where I live, not sure if it's known about nationwide) is the McGangbang at McDonald's. Back in high school, my friends and I would stop by our local McDonald's and order a McDouble and a McChicken and place the McChicken between the beef patties of the McDouble, forming the McGangbang. We then discovered that if you asked the employees at that McDonald's for a McGangbang specifically, they would neatly assemble it for you and serve it to you in a Big Mac box. So we tried it, and it worked countless times.
    That was until one day, I showed up and there was a new employee working the register, and I didn't know her from school, but she must have been a sophomore. So it was likely her first job in fast food, which meant she was probably less experienced with people ordering secret menu items. But I figured that if she was working at that particular McDonald's, she would have been made aware of the McGangbang and not to question it when someone ordered it. So, hesitantly, I decided to order it as such, only to be met with an uncomfortable look and nervous laughter before about ten seconds of awkward silence, followed by "excuse me?"
    The embarrassment that overcame me was immeasurable and I swiftly apologized profusely and explained what it was and that I can see how such an order could be interpreted by someone who wasn't aware of it. I ended up getting the McGangbang that day, though they forgot the inner buns that were normally contributed by the McChicken, and I ate it in complete shame. From that day forward, I vowed to myself to never order another McGangbang. Shortly after, McDonald's raised the price of the McDouble by a whole dollar, which was a complete L move on their part.

    Worked 6 years at Taco Bell, if you came in and asked for an incredible hulk, I would have given you a half Baja Blast half regular Mtn Dew. T Bell's secret menu is trying to order food items that were discontinued.

    Glad to see it was actual secret menu items for the most part. Most "secret menu items" you see online are just people who order their own weird food items then combine them together and call it a secret menu item, much like the chic fil a item where it was just multiple items added together. But someone will pretend it's an actual menu item and make up their own name for it and post it online as if it were some official item.

      I was just thinking that. On the taco bell app you can add remove and customize things however you want.
      They don't do substitutions. You have to pay extra for whatever ingredient you want instead, in this case guacamole, but you can get whatever you want.
