On the heels of a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) with a McDonald's employee, an AskReddit conversation thread popped up yesterday that we couldn't tear ourselves away from.
"Fast food workers of Reddit, what is the one menu option at your employment that you would recommend people never eat? (Because of cooking safety, cleanliness, unhealthy, etc)," asked user 4ScienceandReason. This thread, which generated over 6,000 comments in 24 hours, brought some amazingly gross things to light -- some expected and some unexpected -- as well as some good-to-know tricks for the fast-food customer.

Fast Food Employees Share The Worst Items To Order

My sister lives and eats really healthily but will take her kids to In N Out two to four times a week. It's so disgusting and every time I see her she asks if I want to go.
I cut the sugar from 1/2 cup to 3 teaspoons and it made a difference. The flavor is much richer.
I breaded the chicken in Panko and then deep fried it in soybean oil. Everyone says to deep fry in peanut oil but soybean works great for me with my cast iron Dutch oven. :)
no fastfood = no lunch. and dinner. and breakfast
It was like whole and everything.
Whyyyyyyyyy?

it's the only late night place open past 2 AM and my friends and i head there sometimes but their fries and sauces are just so nasty. i wonder how they make it.
they stop frying their french fries fresh and just fry batches ahead of time, throw them onto giant cafeteria platters, leave them there for hours and serve them to customers
their gravy is fucking delicious idgaf
but i've never gotten anything other than the original
though they fucked up my order for the first time ever last week and i was so disappointed. like your food is made to order, i picked what i wanted on my snack wrap, why the fuck did you add a random sauce to it :(

i know people are going to be ~omg i would never no matter how rude they were to me~ but you gotta be working there to understand~!! anyways enough share your stories
instead I was simply a bitch back.
so i use to work at this ice cream place at an exhibition. i was new and it was my first job (i was 16). there was this girl and we charge like 69¢ for a single scoop and a dollar for two. well, this woman started cussing me out in her jamaican accent saying she wanted another scoop. i told her she could have just paid the $1 and get an extra scoop, because now she'll have to pay a whole 69¢ for another scoop (and to reverse the transaction and do that whole thing over 31¢ would be really complicated and would have to wait for a manager etc. and it was my first job so at the time i would have NEVER thought about just giving her the free scoop). and oh yeah, she wanted the extra scoop because we charge too much that she should just get another one (well... that's how we make money on a hot ass day). but yeah i was soo frightened that my hands were shaking so my co worker told me to just stay behind her and she'll deal with the customer. she told the customer she would give her the additional scoop. she went to scoop the ice cream in the bucket which was down the barrel, so she had to bend down to do it, and she spit at the bottom of the BOWL (and the customer could not see since her body was covering the freezer or whatever) and put the ice cream on top. it's hard to explain but it was soo grosss but i was so happy at the time
or the opposite
i was a HS student (well i graduated early) and was serving a table of probably sophomore or junior students. one girl was being a douchbag for no reason. she was talking to me as if i was dumb (when i was just repeating an order to make sure it was correct) and seemed just trying hard to seem *cool* to her friends.
so i put my hands in her lomein. at the insistence from my co-workers (one who was my IRL friend).
I don't like it either.
THEIR FRIES DDEAR GOD
They do give me my burger fix (because I don't order burgers if I can get chicken). I only get meat cheese and tomato though.
I'm a pescetarian since I get sick from eating more than a small amount of red meat, so it's what I always get. Plus animal style french fries, yumyum.
