People all over the world are starting to be more conscious about the food that
they eat. Fast food restaurants are full of food that is literally designed to t
urn people into addicts. They are often littered with and chemically altered for
this purpose alone, despite a number of these foods being proven to be detrimen
tal to human health. Ultimately we do have a choice, but it s also confusing why t
hese foods even exist given how bad and toxic most of them are, and how they pro
mote so many different diseases. Just think about the intent behind their existe
nce. Do you really think that it is to feed people?
I don t usually post articles that aren t completely originally written, but I think
this is worthwhile posting, since in my opinion anything that might potentially
draw people away from these foods is worthwhile sharing. You never really know
with restaurants, some horrible things go on behind the scenes and the food we a
re served isn t always what we really think it is.
The following question was posted to Reddit: What should we not order at your re
staurant? Why not?
According to the Huffington Post, None of these claims are verified, but they re
ceived thousands. Some of these are quite disturbing but not surprising at all.
Anything McCafe At McDonald s
I work for McDonald s and make sure everyone that matters to me never orders anyth
ing that comes out of the McCafe machine as these are routinely neglected, in prac
tically all the McDonalds. Not only are staff not properly trained in its cleani
ng and maintenance, at almost every McDonalds I ve had experience with, the manage
rs in charge of training them don t know f*** all either All McCafe beverages run th
rough a horrifically dirty machine we re talking 5+ inches of uncleaned, liquid bu
llshit making up its inside parts. Envirometh
I personally would not recommend eating anything at McDonald s:

Do Not Order Hot Dogs At Baseball Games
I used to work in a baseball park concession stand. The short answer is not to or
der anything, but if you absolutely have to buy something, don t buy the hotdogs.
Do not. Buy. The Hot Dogs.
They made it out of the package okay, and might even have been edible after we f
inished grilling them and then they went into the water. We kept three pans of w
ater at the back of the grill that held the hot dogs. Any hot dogs left at the e
nd of the day went back into the fridge, and came out again the next day. Me and
the other cook put our feet down on throwing out the water and old hot dogs aft
er two full days, but the management didn t want to let us. FreakyCheeseMan

On Steak & Beans at Taco Bell
I worked at taco bell a little bit ago and I warn everyone to stay away from both
the beans, and the steak. The beans start out looking like cat food, and the di
rections are, Add water and stir until you can t see white anymore. The steak was ju
st the worst on dish duty. If it would sit too long it would become like hair ge
l. It was the worst. -Beefcake21
On Wendy s Chili
I used to work at Wendy s. The meat used in the chili, yeah that comes from the mea
t on the grill top that expires and dries up that s put in to a warming drawer unt
il you have enough for a batch of chili, which we first freeze and then thaw the
next day. Also if the chili sitting in the warmer doesn t sell fast enough we jus
t added hot water to it to mix it up.
Don t Order Anything Off Of The Starbucks

Secret Menu

Former starbucks worker here. Please don t order anything off the Secret Menu. It doe
sn t exist. If you want a snickerdoodle, nuttella, or captain crunch frappuchino (
or whatever other overly sugery thing someone has since come out with), know the
base drink and the modifications, and order that. If you just say the name, it s
up to the barista to come up with what s in the drink, and it may not be what the
last barista you ordered from put in there. - Stac52
On Movie Theatre Popcorn
I worked at a theater, don t get popcorn for the first showing- that s all just last
night s popcorn put into giant garbage bags and then reheated in the warmers in th
e morning.
Oh yeah and remember that sticky floor in the aisle of the theater? Well what do
you think would happen if you had that at your house. YES THAT S HOW YOU GET ANTS
and cockroaches, and everything else. Plus it s in the dark most of the time. It s l
ike a bug buffet once the lights go out and the movie starts. - YouAteYourParents
Skip The Pasta At Panera, Stick To The Sandwiches
Panera- pasta; it s all microwaved, this includes mac and cheese. Smoothies/frozen
drinks- nasty base crap that smells and it s sticky. Cupcakes/coffee cakes- all co
me frozen. Best items are the real sandwich/ salads. Real ingredients and usuall
y fresh. - President_Pancake
Always Ask For Fresh Chicken Nuggets At McDonald s
I used to work at McDonalds. If you order, especially chicken nuggets, just ask f
or them fresh. Otherwise they ve been just sitting in their container in the heat.
They have a timer, but 9/10 times when that timer goes off, people just reset t
he timer instead of making new ones. This could go on until all the nuggets are
sold. - Ritch88
Steer Clear Of Beans At Taco Johns
Taco Johns reporting for all you mid-westerners. I would steer clear of the beans
, at least outside of peak hours, because they sit on the hot table for a long l
ong time and when they dry out, just add water. Everything else is pretty solid
though. Worked there a couple years back in 2007-2009 and still love going back
to get my fix. -clamslammer707
BBQ Sandwiches At KFC
Worked at KFC for ~4 years. The BBQ sandwich is actually made from chicken too ol
d and stale to give to the homeless shelters, so they soak it in BBQ sauce until

it can be pulled and then they keep it on the heater for a month.
The Eggs At Einstein s
I worked at Einstein s bagel place which is basically fast food. Don t order anything
with eggs, they aren t real eggs and if business is slow they could have been sit
ting in a container for hours after they are microwaved. - Thedudeiscj

The Doughnuts At Dunkin (Warning: This Will Break Your Heart)
