  • It’s not hard to see the appeal of fast food. It’s budget-friendly, it’s convenient, and if you’re not expecting Michelin star quality, it can be pretty tasty. But appetizing and safe are two different things. People are suing your favorite fast food restaurants, items are being recalled, employees are being forced to serve food gone wrong, customers have been hospitalized and some "ingredients" have no business winding up on a customer’s plate. Is eating fast food still worth the risk?

    I worked as a health inspector, for 15 years. If you had seen the things I've seen in the kitchens of restaurants, you'd stay home and cook your own meals.

      I mostly did surprise inspections. As a result, they were caught off guard. Even the inspections I performed, where they had notice, the kitchens were atrocious. Expired food, dead insects, cross contamination of food. It wasn't just fast food places, the dine in restaurants were just as bad.

    The expired food problem is due to a conflict of interest between the general manager and his bonus. GM's get bonuses for keeping food costs down. So, they decided their bonus was worth intentionally poisoning his community. That's such an abuse of power that it should carry felony charges.

I liked BKs as well and Starbuck's frapps are delicious. I only buy their bottled drinks, from supermarket (or online). IT is super sad how they're treating the food and their staff and customers, lately, in the past decade. And it has gotten worse, since 2020.

    I was always taught: Any restaurant you go in, go to the bathroom. If it isn't spotless, eat somewhere else. The reason being that if they can't be bothered to properly clean the restroom that everyone sees, they surely aren't cleaning the kitchen that remains largely unseen.

Beware people and don't eat the salsa.

      @steadholderharrington9035 9 місяців тому +60

      Back in those days, and even into the 90's, being McDonalds-trained as an employee in the fast-food industry, meant that you had no better training in the industry, and were a near-guaranteed hire at any other brand of fast-food service. Nowadays, if you dare to claim you worked at McDonalds, it means automatic deprogramming and retraining in that restaurant you've chosen to apply at, and only if there's no one else more qualified (ie. no work experience in the fast-food business at all) that is competing for that same job slot.
      As you said, its truly sad! Remember working for only $4.25 an hour? 😅

I couldn't even get away with a 15 second hand washing without getting called out. I'm currently working at a Dairy Queen, however, where we have 14 year olds who leave wet rags out everywhere, keep the same cleaning water all day, don't rotate items so you end up with tons of old stock and no new stock, and the owners won't ever replace broken refrigerators that are several degrees over the maximum until the health inspectors threaten to shut the place down (while pretending they didn't know despite us keeping logs).

    I was a manager at McDonald's once upon a time. Yes the frap and ice cream machines get disgusting. This is why there are policies and procedures in place to clean them. If cleaned properly it takes a minimum of 3 hours to do. This is supposed to be done during the deep night or overnight shifts which is why at a good restaurant, fraps and ice cream aren't available after 10pm because the machine is offline and someone is cleaning it to SOP for health and safety. If you can order and get a frap or ice cream after 10pm, danger danger, they aren't cleaning the machines

    I still remember when I was 16 and working at Burger King. I had been working the drive through cash register all day, so handing out change for hours. We had a huge rush come through and my manager yelled for me to get off the register and start making burgers immediately. I ran straight to the sink to wash my hands and to grab gloves, but she pulled my arm and said, "we don't have time for that! Hurry!" And she wouldn't let me grab gloves either. It was literally one time, but I still cannot shake it and I still feel guilty to this day over 20 years later. My dad passed away when I was younger from a common bug because his immune system was weak, and so I've always taken hand washing and gloves really seriously and wish I had had the guts to stand up to my manager back then. Now, I would NEVER let a manager tell me not to wash my hands or wear gloves even if the sky was falling. There's never a rush worth skimping on sanitary measures!

I would get lectured but not fired. I noticed that some of their containers were moldy so I had to wash them with bleach. It was more work for me to keep the items clean and cook like I’m cooking for my kids, but at least I knew no one was going to get sick from the food that came out of the kitchen. If you work as a cook and you see something you can definitely do something about it. I love to cook and take pride in that. I know that people don’t make much money but as a cook you should consider the golden rule.

There may be the occasional exceptions, but, for the rest of us it is very easy to be ignorant of many things without the proper life experiences to help you make the proper judgements yourself on pretty much anything.

    I worked for a national uniform rental service years ago. I stopped eating in many fast food through 5 star restaurants after visiting the kitchens of many Pittsburgh restaurants every week to exchange uniforms and linens. What I saw going on in those kitchens was totally disgusting. I don't for the life of me understand how the county board of health could in good conscience give any of these places an A rating but they did on a regular basis.

I was APPALLED. Quickly, the manager took the container and washed it. I started to find all kinds of uglies in the store. As a sixty-six year old woman, i was cleaning everything. Next thing you know, my manager started to get paranoid, so we started to clean everything. So cleaning became a weekly thing. I believe the manager got scared of me, scared i would tell on her. That was the farthest thing from my mind, i ate there, i wanted to know my food was properly cooked, and from a clean container. That manager made sure i was always a happy worker.

    And people wonder why I refuse to eat from any fast food restaurant.
    Those bosses who fire people for exposing their frankly evil practices need to spend serious time in prison. If that's not a criminal offence then I don't know what is.

    Raw food is 100% staff fault, you can't change my mind. I worked at a kfc as a student for 4 months. My chicken was ALWAYS cooked to perfection. My colleagues sometimes threw chicken that fell om the floor in and you couldn't do anything because "they were there longer" so that automatically means they are more trustworthy.. as bad as managers are so are some employees

      Nah. Everything is automated. If fryers aren't working properly, and they aren't being inspected regularly enough, there's no way for an employee to know. They are trained to push a button and push it again when the automated timer goes off.

      @Micahnanners not where I worked, the only buttons you could push are the ones to drain the oil and clean the fryer, that's it. You place the chicken into the basket and lower it yourself. There is 0 room for automatic errors because the fryers are really simple.

    I quit 20 years ago so they can't touch me, but McDonald's made us reset the meat tray timers when they ran out after the 2 hour food safety limit. We would be fired if we threw it away and made fresh. Not all fast food has such low standards for their restaurant, but I can attest to that one.

    I worked at a mcdonalds in pennsylvania that was just as gross as they say. Dirty and moldy machines, uncleaned utensils, and old food.
    For instance, i was doing dishes once and i decided to take apart the utensil used to cut the lemons.
    Yall, it had black mold on the inside. I told my manager and she responded with, "you're not supposed to take that apart".
    It was only when i pointed out the mold that she agreed with me. So if they can't see it, they won't clean it. Even inspections are sub-par and grossly negligent. Be safe and maybe dont eat at mcdonalds y'all.
    P.s. No, i DO NOT care about anonymity. If anything i want them to know im talking about it because its disgusting and negligent as a business practice.
