“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”

“I work at a chain coffee shop where we make our own in-house chocolate sauce. Sounds nice but it starts to mold within a few days. That shouldn’t be a problem since we go through chocolate and make more daily, however the chocolate sauce container only gets cleaned out properly if we run out during slow times. Otherwise we just dump fresh chocolate sauce on top and get right back to dealing with the rush.
The white mocha and caramel sauces are manufactured and therefore have a long shelf life. I stick with those.”

“I know this might sound bad but if I restaurant is right next to a lake it’s going to have bugs. It’s just impossible to keep them out. The kitchen and freezers are usually extremely safe but you just can’t stop it. If you set big ones it just wonders in but if you see small ones don’t eat there.”

“Anything made with the “roast beef” at Arby’s. It’s not a real beef roast. Instead, it’s a compressed block of beef scraps. It comes in a bag filled with beef broth, and you just warm the entire thing in the oven for a few hours.
And once the compressed beef block is heated, you put it on the slicer and leave it under a heat lamp for hours to slowly desiccate.
Edit: Man this brought back some bad memories. You also should avoid the breaded chicken patties; they’ve probably been hanging out in the warmer for a while. And the bacon is hit or miss depending how long it’s been since they microwaved a new batch. If it’s been sitting for a bit, it’ll be limp and chewy.

“If people saw (and felt) the popcorn “butter” at AMC when I worked there you wouldn’t touch that whole stand, much less put that stuff in your body. To replace the butter we get this bag of yellow liquid that glows pink in the light to screw into the nozzle at the bottom. And somehow which I never understand, is that touching the outside of the plastic bag makes my hands super greasy. And when I say greasy, i have to SCRUB with a sponge for minutes to get most of it off and there is always some residue that remains. Can only imagine what that is doing to the arteries of the people pumping that shit all over their food.”
