I worked at several Subways over 10 years. At a few of those,I started to throw away outdated food. But managers told me to just re-date them. Yeah,for real... I highly recommend NOT the crab or tuna
I go to a little Mexican place that looks dirty a.f. But when you go in the bathroom its spotless with marble counters and floor totally unexpected lol
Lol why do people think this lol as some with over 16 yrs of experience the front house has nothing to do with back house. Just because an employee has mop a floor has nothing to do with nasty process machines or someone digging in their ass before handing food..NO FOOD IS SAFE SORRY
I've been working at a McDonalds for 3+ Years and I can Vouch for this Video! We DON'T Clean the McCafe Machines, the Ice Machines, the Soda Machines or Microwaves and Ovens! There is ZERO Training on how to Disassemble and Clean Properly. Everything is Rushed! We are Open 24/7 so there is ZERO Time Spent on Properly Cleaning ANYTHING! Also, NOTHING is Fresh and EVERYTHING Comes in Frozen and Pre-cooked! We just Store Everything in Small Fridges and Walk-In Freezer/Fridges. Everything You Order is Whipped Together Hastefully and with Little to NO Care at all! Zero Time is Spent Training New Hires as They Tend to be Teens - Early 20s and Quit Almost as Fast as They are Hired. Only Time the Store is Properly Cleaned is RIGHT BEFORE AN INSPECTION! WE KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHEN THEY ARE COMING AND THEN AND ONLY THEN IS PROPER CARE GIVEN TO CLEANLINESS! The Fish, and Chicken DO INFACT SIT IN HEATING TRAYS for HOURS! Especially the Fish! Its Not Commonly Ordered so They just SIT IN THE TRAY AND STAY WARM FOR 4+ Hours! I Never Ate Fast Food Much Growing Up and even though it is RIGHT INFRONT OF ME and Offered to Us Free of Charge I NEVER EAT IT! Also, the Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles and Cheese are Laid Out in the Open for us to Assemble the Food. Problem there is they are CONSTANTLY Covered in Flies! We have NOTHING on hand to deal with them so They just Fuck and Fly Around on EVERYTHING! Save Your Money and just BUY YOUR OWN FOOD FOR YOUR KIDS! I Feel AWFUL Knowing a Large Amount of this Garbage is Served to Children. Trust Me, NO CARE IS GIVEN TO ANY OF THIS! Its All About Making the Most Money, the Cheapest Way Possible! You have been Warned! -Current McDonalds Grill Member
McDonalds sucks anyways.when I do eat fast food I always ask for no ketchup or mustard.not only do they put in on by the shovel full but they have to make a fresh one.go to chick fil a.they actually give a shit
i worked for a dunkin donuts for almost 10 years. during those 10 years i learned how to take apart, clean, and calibrate every machine we had. i knew more about the machines than my manager. it was standard to clean the ice machine every 2 weeks. i would spend a couple of hours every other sunday removing all ice from the machine and taking it apart to clean.
kur0kiba i cleaned our ice machine out every 2 weeks when I was a supervisor at Friendly’s. It was hard work to get all the ice out, of which I tossed in the mop drain and the sinks. Cleaned the machine out with and made sure it was well dried out. Then flipped the switch before I left that night and fresh ice the next day. There are plenty of people in the industry that actually do care about their jobs and about safety. Most of these horror stories are rare occurrence. Just saying.
Wow, you don't hear of many places having anyone that cleans the ice machine... seriously thank you for dl'ing that in your time there. If we're could all stay talking pride in our work, no matter the work, itd be surprising but amazing!
@@nickiratliff84 It really wasn't required, but I just felt it needed to be done. I agree, pride in your job is def a skill that is lacking sometimes. If my doing that set an example to just one person, than it was well worth it.
I worked at one too. I was there 3 months, it had never been cleaned and I spent an hour trying to turn it back on after it failed beacuse the GM had never been trained on it. I wish i had worked at the one you did!
kur0kiba man can’t you start working again I don’t really trust that many restaurants or food places soo yeah but I understand if you don’t but thanks for cleaning and caring about other people now days lots of people are selfish
I used to work for subway in Canada, I was there for 7 years, they've removed pretty much all of the preservatives in stuff by the end of 2017. "Shiny beef" is not due to stuff being added, jeez. It's because of diffraction grating. It's simply because of the way the light hits the meat that was sliced sharply against the grain. The cold cut doesn't arrive in a "syrup;" meat has moisture in it and some of it collects at the bottom of the package. The smell comes from the gas that they have in the package. Oxygen reduces the shelf life of plenty of stuff; haven't you ever seen a cut apple go brown? They fill the package with gas to keep oxygen away. The use of modified atmosphere packaging actually means that they are taking steps to keep the food from spoiling without having to add preservatives. The edges of the black forest ham are as smooth as it can get, I remember commenting to my old coworkers at how smooth the rind is. No hairs were seen during our close inspection. As for the Tuna, those labels are simply saying that it is sourced from a provider that takes steps to prevent dolphins and turtles from being harmed in the process of catching the fish. Regulations may have changed, either stating that all commercial tuna must be sorced in such a manner, or that it is something that no longer is required to be noted on labels. The tuna is identical to what you get from the store; I've compared the look, texture, taste, and smell.
As... someone who works at McDonalds... Our managers are trained to clean are McCafe shake and frappe machine... And if more maintenance needs to be done we have a maintenance man come and do that stuff for us... As for the fish fillet and the Nuggets... We sell through nuggets ridiculously quickly... We can sell up to 100 nuggets in 10 minutes... But that just maybe where we live... Ask for the fish fillet? We never cook more than 4 at a time because no one ever buys it. And if the timer on the cabinet goes off then we toss what we have in the waste bin. And usually after 8 p.m. we cook everything fresh and to order. Yeah people have to wait but people don't usually complain about having fresh food
Thank you sharing that information and for doing great work. People underestimate how much of a well designed system is place at Mc Donald’s and how much work it must take meet the demands of consumers.
As someone who also works at McDonalds (Northern Canada), I can vouch for this, and if we don't keep everything clean, and nice the Managers will tell us to do so (Grill gets steam-cleaned every hour or sooner, and every time we switch products on the grill: ie going from beef to sausage, or vice-versa, and its scraped/squeegeed every time something comes off)
True attacking McD is just fun and apparently okay. Most people know all fast food is fried to heck and not to much can survive that. You could fry up a turd and put ketchup on it and it won't be too bad.
@@TheRoidemortetfleur I get hot oil splashed on my skin almost daily (I'm a clumsy fucker) and I can tell you, nothing could survive in it for more then 30 seconds (Everything that goes in the fryers takes over 2 min to cook minimum), and same thing with the grills, just touching them for a split second can give you a 2nd-3rd degree burn (speaking from experience), which at that temp, nothing could survive for even the minimum cook time (38 seconds) assuming it could even get to the meat (which is kept in a freezer until its put on the grill)
Wendy's "Expired meat" Is just meat that past the 4 minutes off the grill. The 4oz and 2oz patties are cooked for something like 2 min or 4 min. been a few years. Then it is put on station grills. The meat is considered Expired 4 minutes after leaving the dsg (dual sided grill) Once that happens it stands in a heated drawer for NO longer than one hour before being removed Chopped and Frozen to be used in Chili The same day or the next. We Never use meat that is past the use by date. It's a term for patties that are more than 4 minutes old. I've woken up two days later with nachos and beef in my fridge and still ate them. Ya'll need to Chill.
I understand that what you're saying IS protocol... but at the end of the day, there are so many people out there that don't care about their job, having a bad enough day to disregard quality/protocol, don't pay attention, or maybe even feel like "getting back at the world". As a result, what should happen does not happen. To be fair this situation happens everywhere: medical field, law enforcement, judicial system, etc.
I had to clean everything at the Target snack bar, and ,maybe it was just my manager, but those machines were CLEAN! Some people take pride in their work and do a good job. Just because you're a fast food employee doesn't mean you're a slacker
McDonalds be up in here saying B.S. like "ALWAYS FRESH GIVE US UR MONEY" well, the maggots are propably the least processed thing in the birger. So ya I agree
@@angelopalmieri434 ooooh look out everyone! we got a bad-ass contrarianist! Look out! He doesn't have an opinion of his own and just emulates what is counter-culture!
I used to work at wendy's and yes the meat Is usually leftover from the day before. KFC did the same thing. Leftover chicken is put in the cooler and used the next day for bbq sandwiches.
Back when my stomach allowed me to eat chili, I would sometime buy the Wendy’s chili. Luckily the first time that I bought it, it was really good. Then I started noticing I was not. If you ever make chili from scratch at home, you will discover that the longer that it cooks- - the more it doesn’t taste right.
I’ve always wanted to become a chef just the smell of the meat cooking on the grill or the oil sautéing veggies is what heaven would smell like to me and just idk making food is the best it’s even better when I’m making it for someone else just waiting for them to taste it with a big smile on your face bc u know it’s bomb
lava man in today’s world the meat is fake and majority of the foods we buy are processed and have like chemicals to make them last longer the only way to truly eat healthy is growing your own food and cattle tbh
once i find out the secret ingredients it will be hard for me to leave home. Im still trying to figure out how McDonalds makes their fry's taste so darn delicious but once they get cold thats when the crying starts for me. no more crunchiness and when placed in the oven they are ruined.
I work at Chick-fil-A and everything is perfectly fine. The salads are made fresh (though may be overcharged), we clean our ice and soda machines daily, the chicken is always cooked fresh and the kitchen gets scrubbed extremely well every night. I was expecting something to pop up on this list about Chick-fil-A because it is a big company but from working there I can say that I would gladly eat anything and everything they serve
Chick fil a will never make these lists.thats a company that actually cares on speed and presentation.i live in Florida and all the restaurants are always very very very packed. and regardless of that the service is lightning speed.employees come and ask if you want a refill or to take your trash.nobody can never say anything bad.and the waffle fries are the bomb!!
@@DoodleWingF go there for food.dont really care about a restaurant or ppls opinion.not a snowflake lol .do ppls opinion effect you?be concerned about you.not other ppl.
Hunter Glass obviously one who can take it apart & put it back in functioning order right? I mean you don’t just let any old avg joe get their hands on your a/c unit do you?
Do you have any idea how complex an espresso machine is? Their inner part are rather fragile and are mainly serviced by qualified technicians. I have a small pretty high end one made in Italy, payed $699 for it. ON SPECIAL.
I worked as a manager for wendys for 2.5 years and can vouch for all of the processes. The information about the chili is partial and not exactly how it works. The patties are made on a grill that has a timer to track which patties are which and how long until they need to be put into a warmer. When the time runs out on the patties they are transferred to the warmer and are held there until there is enough for a batch of chili or 3 hours whichever comes first. The warmer is set high enough to keep the patties above the food danger zone. When it is time to make a chili or it is necessary to store the meat it is rinsed thouroughly with hot water to remove the fat and then ground up to be added to the chili or stored in day marked heavy duty ziploc bags for use the next day. If the manager can keep an eye on the employees and the employees follow their training the meat is usually used by the next day. And i can assure you at my restaurant we went through at least 2 batches of chili on a slow day and 3 to 4 batches a day during the winter and my store wasnt even that busy. So please anyone that has reached the end of this statement stop trying to look for the nasty and gross of the restaurants because most restaurant stories you hear is told by someone who had a problem with the place or someone who knows someone with a problem with the place. Keep your mind open.
I actually think fast food restaurants are probably the cleanest it's mom&pop that are the worst you couldnt pay me enough to eat at a restaurant that is owned by a refugee especially someone from India , or middle East
They have the dumpsters at fast food restaurants behind locked gates (at least outside of Philly) so people cant dig out the food that is thrown out. It’s sad that people are going hungry while ‘food’ is sitting behind locked gates.
@@chakkakon Do you think having a bunch of homeless people behind your restaurant is good business? It makes guests uncomfortable which is why in my town the dumpsters are locked. I'm not bashing homeless people because they need all the help they can get which is why I I always help them when i can but I'm just being real.
I work at a high end restaurant and we serve complementary bread. I can assure you it is never re-used after a guest. Every table gets a new bread basket. Never ever anyone would reuse bread, it is a complete BS.
When I moved to England we did that. I know because I was the one who made it. I thought that was absolutely DISGUSTING but it was their “policy” I’m glad to hear that you are cooking it when ordered.
I don’t think you should worry about ordering the special because they’re using food that’s still good just close to being expired. They’re lowering food waste which is a good thing
Same it tastes way better & is healthier, plus probably very few people that prepare food wash their hands I have saw this over & over again over the years
Go home and wipe the insides of your faucets and see what your water runs through each day. You may have filtered water coming out of your fridge but the pieces your water runs through to get there are not so clean. Everyone needs to realize that our homes aren't as clean as we think they are. Or we just aren't thinking about it at all.
This is true. My brother bought a 120 year old house and started having problems with the hot water after he moved in. When works started to fix the problem it was found that the water pipes throughout the home were blocked with more than 50% dirt build up. He ended up replacing all the pipes in the house. Can you imagine what people were drinking and showering in for all those years before him.
I was a manager at a subway in Norway about ten years ago, and we had super strict rules about food temperatures and dates. We had to check every ingredients temp multiple times a day, put it in a form and sign it. At any random moment the food and health inspections could happen, and we could get closed immediately if something was very wrong. We once got a mark down because boxes of soda bottles was on the floor of our storage room. Nothing is supposed to be placed directly on the floor. Not at risk of being closed, but a thing we immediately had to fix. And our meat and veggies were local to our country so not the same stuff that is being sold in America. I will gladly eat at most fast food places in Norway, but not in a lot of other countries 😬
I worked at Wendy's for 8 years and made many many batches of Chili. Yes what you said is somewhat true but highly embellished. No meat is "scrapped" off the grill. The grill is all the time filled with juices so the meat should always be fresh. After it is finished cooking and not served on a bun then it is tossed in the pan for the chili. Most all the time their wasn't enough patties for the chili so more meat is cooked up and added to the pans. Water is added to the pans of chili and then boiled and drained. The Chili needs to cook for some time in order for all the ingredients to "mesh" together. Otherwise freshly made chili will not taste too good. The best chili I ate was over a day old, I ate the hell out of it it was so good. YUM! The pans of chili are quite big and sits inside another pan with water underneath and the chili has lids over the top of them. for them to lose that much water out while cooking is unlikely because I very rarely ever recall adding water to the chili while at Wendy's. Now at home I do add water if I want it more watery. At wendy's everything is fresh, fresh red beef not frozen, fresh salad, and nothing is kept for very long except the chili. It has a timer and when the timer goes off it us thrown away. fries for example have a 5 min holding time.
Well then how come fresh meat we cook ourselves doesn't look like a shiny rainbow? Preservatives all the way. The meat you buy from any deli counter in supermarkets all looks and tastes processed/fake. They try to disguise that with spices but it still doesn't taste like fresh meat
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship It won't look this way if you cook it because you cooked it. That breaks down those proteins that make that rainbow looking color. Look for a preservative and nitrate free rare to medium rare roast beef. It will still have those odd colors.
No, I disagree. Where are you getting your information? I'm referring to roast beef (as an example) that isn't rare so what you're saying makes no sense. My point is, if I cook roast beef at home, no rainbow colours (of course) but the stuff they sell in supermarkets is like that and doesn't taste right. They do something to it but that something is a well kept secret
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship I'm getting my information from when i worked at a deli. But if it's still rainbow looking after it's been fully cooked (where there's no more red or blood), then yeah, something is probably wrong with it
4:59 - This makes me like their chili more. They aren’t wasting food. (I doubt they are literally using expired patties. Just not fresh enough for a burger.) The longer you simmer chili or soup, the better the flavors meld. Heard of a crock pot? I’ve let them cook for 8-10 hours on low. Adding water if it dries out isn’t so bad. That’s what you’ve lost. Soup and chili are dishes that improve when left in a warmer.
Old comment but this just really highlights how many people don't know how to cook or how things work. Given that Wendy's often has their chilli pot open (for serving, string, lid design, etc) of course it's going to thicken because all that water is going to evaporate as steam without any way of retaining it. In fact, people who can cook are able to play with sauce/broth/base thickness by simply adding or removing a cover during the course of cooking. But somehow, adding water to thin the mixture - like any sensible person would do at home if they bothered to cook - is suddenly scandalous. Like you - I'm totally for this creative and beneficial use of meat. Not only does Wendy's consider their meat 'expired' if it sits for more than four minutes after cooking (hence not really expired), the style of the dish they use really works well with meat that's been made tougher (like storing/freezing for future use). It's pretty depressing that people are so removed from their food that the act of repurposing meat in an economic and efficient way is seen as gross, or don't know simple things like why roast beef shines.
It is not a common practice for bread to be re-used for a table. If a place does that they are garbage anyway. Plus what the hell would chefs know about that? They usually don't serve that since it's a server or host job to set that up. Also said to avoid house salad because it uses simple ingredients that you could probably make at your home. First off....no shit. It's a goddamn salad, if you have lettuce in your fridge then you have it nailed down. Second, most people eat out because A. It's a special evening/vacation or B. You wanted a night off from cooking. If you're worried about a $3 salad don't eat out period. Also, I eat stuff like that at restaurants because there's a good chance they can still do a salad better than me at home. I don't know about fast food but the service industry gets a raw deal because of a few scumbag companies and managers. If there's a real problem it's probably wasted food, and I don't mean expired. After working for half a dozen restaurants I've seen more food thrown away than kept to get old in a fridge. I like this channel but sometimes it's like they have a panel of experts and someone's douchebag cousin sitting in a room going over this. A few good facts then some hearsay bs, a few more facts and a bogus opinion.
When we speak about a good restaurant, the price of food can be at least 5 time biggeer than cost of price for making home. For example, a salad with tomato in my city cost around 15 dolars, who have 200 gram of tomato and 50 gram of mixed salad . But, the cost of one kilo of tomato it's 1 dolars, or even cheaper if you buy from farmers .
they had this big hype for some italian place opening in this one town, on opening night a table asked for bread so the teenage waiter hands them slices of texas toast from the bag
Ive worked at quite a few restaurants that were in a chain and we never keep and resued anything off a table other than salt pepper ketchup and mustard
I agree with you. I know a bunch of people in the food industry and they all agree with you too, Most of the time things are fine, but like you said, it's the few scumbags that cause the issue, but those businesses shut down fast. I never had any problem with mcd's or burger king, or the local diner for that matter. Always good, always clean, always consistent, at least at those particular ones I go to. But then i live in in a highly regulated state so if they want to remain open they have to be on the ball about everything.
Eh, I worked at Wendys and yes they do use the old hamburgers (thats maybe 2-3 hrs old) that has been cooked to put in their chili. They don't use expired meat, or grease traps to use in the chili. Just like your chili at home, some water may be added. I would still tear it up after I made it myself.
El Jefe, I was about to comment on that as well. I worked for Wendy's for 2 years in the late 1980's, and yes, we saved the dry patties all day to put in the chili. And like you, I never saw them use grease trap drippings for the chili, that's gross!!
Okay but like I also cook batches of hot dogs and leave the leftovers in the fridge for several days, reheating them one by one over the course of like five days if I have that many. What, suddenly because someone else is doing it it's gonna gross me out?
Yea, but hot dogs are like 80% preservatives, so they're gonna be fine anyway. Generally most cooked food last for 7-10 days under refrigeration, after that you're supposed to toss it if you're a restaurant. So esentially every restaurant parbakes, or pre cooks most things and finish them off when they are ordered, keeps the food cost down because it takes longer to go bad after cooking. (less moisture, less bacteria, more salt and other natural preservatives.
must have been a tequila flavored ice cream cone and I wouldn't touch anything that came out of subway. i've eaten there 3 times at 3 different locations and ended up with food poisoning every single time. never again
Subway? Do do the Pastrami, meatball, BMT , or philly cheese steak/chipotle southwestern steak, avoid the tuna salad or chicken salad and all veggies except onions,bell peppers,jallepenos and olives(naturally antibiotic)....and put the oil and vinigar on for good measure(vinegar natural antibiotic) Cold cuts and brined veggies should look nice or walk out on them too
My husband brought home a sub once from Subway, cut in half. I didn't eat my half. I'm glad I didn't. He got food poisoning. I called the health department. I still had the evidence. No matter. They called Subway and told them they would be there in 2 hours for a surprise inspection.
Yep.. that's all true for McDonald's. I work there.. some food should be held for up to 45 minutes, but we hold it untill we sell it.. it's not the employee fault, it's the store manager,owner , and corporate faults. See Employees are threatened with termination if they throw the food out, but they won't let us eat the food when it goes pass time, and they cut our work hours or days if we have to much food going to waistcan or left over at the end of the day( and they don't let us take that food home which we are clearly about to throw out to end the day).. as for the worms and maggots ,I have never seen them but if you are using food with flys around then it will happen. Fly eggs hatch in 30min to a few hours after being laid.( Meaning if you see maggots the the food is old) and everything you said about the machines are true to the core.. if it comes from a machine, don't buy it. And get all drinks with no ice are just buy whatever is in a bottle... This is true. I work at McDonald's.. All they focus on is speed and profit.. and don't care if your loving it.
'that's all true for McDonald's' - really you support that nonsense of live maggots when it's thin uniform patties being cooked to 155F and held at safe temps? Managers know more than you 'crew' employees about food safety. If they make their customers sick; they lose their jobs too. Get yourself some Serv-Safe certification, learn some shit and stop dissing your current employer because atm; you're not worth minimum wage.
@@madthumbs1564 don't get mad when the truth is told..you know like I do, that the meat gets old and dry and if you don't close the UHC all the way the meat and chicken will get off temperature.( Cold). You let sandwiches sit in the bin Untill someone else orders the same sandwich then you just give them that old run down bad cheese looking Burger. And If you must know I said I HAVE NEVER seen maggots or worms, but I know that it can happen. And also the fish can have worms in it. Albeit they will be dead from being frozen and then fried. But if you know how they look then you will spot them if they are there.. and don't talk to me about safe Serv certificates. Just cause a person has one, does not mean they take what they learn and imply it to in store operations. All you managers are worried about is food cost, waist, speed, not getting a complaint and LABOR. Y'all just want a check. y'all don't care about cleaning anything untill the week of your C.s.o. are your f.o.r... I bet you could not put your hand on a Bible and truthfully say that your ice machine has been cleaned in the last 30 days..not wiped down, I mean cleaned out.. and that's a shame because it is supposed to be sanitized once a week, cleaned once a week and detailed once a month. ( So if it has been more than 7days since the last time it was cleaned, how can you say it doesn't have slim and pink and black mold in it )..I might not be worth my employer having me, but the managers that work for him are in the same boat with me. if the food is bad it's the manager who should spot it before a customer because they should be doing a walk through every 30to40 min and it should include temping the food. but y'all don't do that, not to mention how you managers pen whip the food safety book. Managers don't know shit.. all they know is bark out orders to crew, don't get a complaint and protect labor at 18to 19%.. So ATM shut tha fuck up.. I work there but they don't own me. I say what I want to say in line with free speech.. and I ain't one to be played with. So don't play with me. I don't own McDonald's and I ain't going try to defend it... You can do that .. hope you get a promotion.. I don't care no more about it than the guy who owns it but don't even know who works for him. As long as we show up and work, he is good. And as long as he pay for the work we good... And just so you know I don't give a damn about working to make the next guy rich while he won't even give a proper raise to help off set the increase in the cost of living.. if we had a choice we would quit working for minimum wage because as far as the low class is concerned, minimum wage ain't worth our time.. it has not went up since Obama for more then 8years but the cost of living has went up every year. So it ain't like we making good money. If we get sick for more than 2days we won't have all the rent and bill money. But we still need to eat, travel, wash clothes, and take care of stuff other than bills. We work to pay bills and eat at work (how that sound), and Ware the same work shirt 2and 3days.. Fuck minimum wage.. And that's how I feel about you and McDonald's and working for minimum wage... By by now
They let us take de left overs if we closed when I worked there. It's something to do with part of de original McDonald's policy about fighting hunger & homelessness & such but we were supposed to try not to have to much extra based on sales from de same date de previous year.
@@joebessette6565 People are ignorant. Its like people getting their panties in a bunch if meat in the store is grey. Yeah, thats called oxidation. Its normal. Grocery stores and butchers use food dye to keep their meat red.
@@shawnm7246 - I work at a butcher in a local Kroger owned company. It is usually altered before we get it, but that is usually the case with beef. Ground beef naturally has bits of brown in it because of the heat generated by the grinder and bits of white from the animal fat. If it is red all the way through and has "natural flavors" in it, it is a lie. As for the iridescent colors, it could also be excess food grade mineral oils used to keep the saws running without issue.
@@Zeivusgaming Yeah, growing up we raised animals for food and hunted... so I know what color meat is. About 5 minute after cutting it, it goes brown naturally. Most people only know meat from a supermarket however.
The burger king I used to work at, I was doing morning prep and I went into the freezer to get the tomatoes to cut them up. While opening the box, I discovered moldy tomatoes and I told my manager. She got upset and blamed me. Minutes later, she was checking them to see which was good and which was bad. She threw away a fresh tomato and ends up digging it up out if the trash and putting it in the fresh container of tomatoes. I quit that day.
3:40 chicken & fish. I use to work for Mc'Donalds they had holding timers that the moment the time goes off we must toss out anything past that time. it sounds like that one was ran poorly
In cities such as Seattle, they have STRICT regulations about health and safety. This place called "Moo Bar", is at the 'okay' rating, which means that place is inspection away from getting shut down. The inspections don't have any warning, and inspectors can waltz in at any given time, and not give the restaurants any time to prepare, leaving every restaurant practically scared into keeping it clean.
Mc donalds Gulf branch experienced such an incident once and it turned out to be accident , their food is fresh and healthy tastes whenever i orderd from them to be honest it takes just to look at the the staff appreance and gloves or not wearing to figure out weather it is healthy or not to eat or order from a resturant and also the bathrooms hygiene could reflects alot about the inner sytem .
JESUS CHRIST the standards for McDonald's around the world must be pretty low... I used to be an assistant manager at a McDonald's and let me reassure you that, at least in Canada, we literally had employees specifically trained to clean and maintain the entire shake machine and we would throw away anything that was expired, plus we'd have new products delivered 1-2 times a week to ensure they're actually served fresh. Also our coffee machines are a totally different process, my boyfriend used to work overnights there and he had to take the coffee machines apart to clean them, you'd get written up if things weren't up to standards. Also the floor managers would actually check the meat temperatures before we started serving it to make sure it's cooked properly and we'd have to actually record the temps to AVOID those issues with bacteria and such, you'd get in serious shit if you didn't write the temps down or if you served food with low temps. As for the chicken and fish, we're actually SUPPOSED to get rid of them after a while and we're supposed to only cook a specific amount depending on the time of day, the reason why the chicken and fish may "stay for a long time" is because sometimes the kitchen people would make WAY too much and they wouldn't throw it out when the timer went off, but thankfully they'd get in shit for it. Plus a lot of the stuff, mostly the breakfast stuff is pretty much the same shit you'd get at the grocery store, we used a lot of reputable brands. Not trying to defend McDonald's, it's still not the healthiest, but it's not the worst either. Oh well, I guess it depends on who owns the franchises and such. However, I can definitely vouch for Subway being terrible. Trust me, my brother is a manager at one and it is FAR worse, upper management would give him shit for getting rid of expired food, he's actually considering reporting it to the health inspectors... Also Tim Hortons is just as bad, I have friends who worked there, oh and they don't use actual eggs there btw. Just so you know. *Tl;dr McDonald's at least in Canada has ACTUAL standards that you'd get in shit for if you didn't follow them, Subway and Tim Hortons don't follow those standards and are FAR worse. Stay the FUCK away from the latter two.*
@@trevorwills9248 So saying swear words debase actual government regulations that a fast food franchise is trying to follow, and that other franchises attempt to avoid under the table, the hell kind of logic is that? Seriously, grow up.
Yeah, in nevada our mcdonalds (the one i worked at) did the exact same.. i think it depends on who runs the store really, the one i worked at wasnt a corporate store
Once my friends and I were eating at IHOP (I'm sure not all of them do this), a friend of mine ordered crepes, when it came out...it was cold and hard. So she asked the waiter could she get another new plate because it looks old. So minutes later she brung out another plate. Turns out it was the same plate, just reheated. We could tell my the arranged fruit and position my friend left it in, they didn't even bother to change plates.
Tajima-gyu cattle, Kobe beef, is NOT fed beer or massaged with Saki nor do they chill to classical music... it's all nothing but urban myths. The reason they are so expensive is only ~3000 head are raised every year and in order to be considered Kobe it has to be from pure-breed stock and must be born and raised in the Hyōgo Prefecture. This line has remained isolated and thus pure since the 2nd century.
@Faris Khadar Nonsense. no sane person puts anything outside good quality salt or salt & fresh cracked pepper on Kobe beef. It needs nothing added to it, as is true of any high quality meats. Sauces, wines, marinades, rubs, heavy seasonings etc. are used to mask lessor quality meats to hide the decline in quality and/or freshness.
I worked in restaurants all my life. And even if there’s a ice scoop there’s always employees to take their cups that they’ve been drinking out of scoop the ice and then go fill their drink up. Absolutely sick and disgusting. Also seen employees use your hands just keep out ice. Also no employees to handle ice who I knew didn’t wash your hands ever even after using the bathroom. Are ringing out old dirty mops among other things. Even good restaurants have nightmarish things that go on in the background in many cases best that you don’t know what is actually happening to your dishes and some of the dirty rags and things are used to wipe the dishes if the machine does not get them completely clean. It gets pretty disturbing I asked to resign from one restaurant because it was so disgusting even though it was a better restaurant and overall it was pretty clean it was just certain things that were going on that were small but disturbing. Wouldn’t either tall other friends and family that if they knew what was going on in restaurants they wouldn’t eat in any of them probably. That’s not an hour just figure what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Lol
Yes thats exactly what it means. Turtles and dolphins(as well as a couple other sea critters) are protected. Its not uncommon for any many labels to post it but by law here anyway, they dont need to inform the customer of it
Ma Boi - Exactly. Since it is not on the ingredient list, it is not (supposed to be) in there. I really am stating to doubt everything about seafood at this point, though. Did you know that "orange roughie" was known as "slimehead" until they renamed it?
Due to the level of growing incompetence and neglect in the work industries, I have largely been preparing my food at home; having the most say on how many hands and... THINGS touch it. When I eat out, I do it with care. I would say I cook at home about 90% of the time these days... maybe stopping to get fast food about twice a year. The remaining 9% is at sit-down restaurants and bakeries. Used to love to eat out and LOVED fast food 15+ years ago. But it's not safe for a variety of reasons.
Ah yes, I could tell some horror stories about Subway in the short time I worked there. I think it was just a thing for the particular one I worked at, but my boss kept changing the label on the chicken that indicated how long it was there and when it needed to be thrown out. It would start getting this chemical smell and turn a weird color but it didn't rot bc of all the preservatives. Myself and others got in trouble for throwing it out bc it smelled bad. There was other stuff too, but it's been a few years and I only worked there 3 months. I was the 13th person to quit in that time span
In Sydney there is this pretty big fish market They sell oysters there, you said if it is at less than 60km away it’s good. Well, it’s right next to the ocean,you could fall into the water The seafood there is NOICE
I worked at Burgerking on Candler Rd in Decatur, GA. I will never eat at Burgerking again. They prepare multiple sandwiches for any rush that might come in. Aftee the rush ends, and prepared sandwiches stay up on the heating shelf. If a customer opens their sandwich and doesn't like it, they return it and management prefers the cooks to rewrap them and place them back on the shelf for future customers who order that particular sandwich. If you go to a fast food burger place, always order a burger with modifications. Like extra onions. No ketchup. Well done. Anything that they most likely wouldn't have already made.
yea some dbag carls junior manage got made because i at half a chicken tender before returning it for the burger i orderd, ther was an order after mine i overheard them talking about and wanting to use my chicken for that order and he was acting like a little bitch because i took a bite of it, i had the receipt that said i order burger but he still acted like i was in trouble for eat the wrong order he gave me and butt hurt he couldnt resell it, AFTER i had already pulled it out of wrapper..
I used to work in Burger King 15 years ago. The place was overall clean. BUT the oil that was used for fries was disgusting if it is not fresh which is most days. They used this white powder chemicals that cleansed the oil so that dirty parts settled as as sludge at the buttom of the fryer. And then scraped off. I have no idea what that chemical was made off.
The bit about bread being passed around from table to table is complete bull*hit. I have been in the industry for years and have worked for several restaurants. I have never even heard of this. Also, it is completely unnecessary as the bread usually costs the restaurant next to nothing.
Are you telling me that McRibs don’t look good… they look like concrete blocks… cuz… I’m totally gonna lose sleep over the fact that they look like concrete blocks… cuz it freakin matters… 🙄
Anyone with food allergies should avoid restaurants due to cross-contamination concerns. Just ordering foods that don't contain your allergy trigger isn't good enough. Surfaces and equipment used to prepare your food can easily come in contact with ingredients that come from recipes that DO contain your trigger. People who eat kosher or vegan can also be served food cross-contaminated by contact with forbidden foodstuffs.
You get bugs and rat parts in ketchup, cows ingest bugs when eating grass. Nothing is totally herbivorous. You can find many videos of herbivores eating animals on youtube; squirrels, cows, deer, etc can be found eating other animals.
@@madthumbs1564 first; I'm not vegan so giving that speech to someone who had meatloaf for dinner, WITH ketchup, is kind of like trying to put sandals on a duck. Second; if you make all of your own food, using only ingredients you grew and processed yourself, you could, theoretically, eat scrupulously vegan. However the amount of time and effort it would take would be a full-time job. But someone with enough resources and determination could, once again theoretically, accomplish it. Though frankly the number of items you could safely eat and still be certain you were avoiding even accidentally ingesting any animal matter, wouldn't allow much variety. Someone attempting such an experiment would be hardpressed to be able to include enough variety to provide a nutritionally complete diet.
@@madthumbs1564 I hate when people try to make it seem like it's a sin to be vegan. Because it's really not. As much as I wouldn't go vegan, I don't think it's wrong as long as they're not trying to force it down your throat. Which this person didn't do, they were just warning vegans or people with allergens that fast food is usually cross-contaminated, as they put it. And before you write something to invalidate vegans, make sure you get your facts right. :`)
when i worked at jets i used to throw out stuff that smelled rotten but i was the only person that thought it was spoiled... even after smelling it they didnt think anything was wrong with it. Ppl r just so stupid. the tomatoes from the previous night smelled so bad you could bairly even tolerate a wiff of them but nobody thought that wasnt normal. I threw the stuff out every time even tho my manager who worked there for 18 years said they were fine.
Lol their lying. You wouldnt believe how often they lie just to be lazy. Like the manager that plans Birthday parties answering the phone and telling the caller "sorry the girl who plans Birthday parties isn't here today" that woman..just wow.
Well just like you ordering your ice cream, there hundreds before you wanting it to. Machines do havr breaking points, especially used the amount it does.
As a Mc Donald’s employee I can tell you that company standards are very explicit, all foods are frozen till cooked and held in the warmers ONLY 30 minutes and have a strict holding temp to prohibit spoilage. At the end of hold time food MUST be thrown out. ALSO the ice cream and coffee machines are totally broken down and cleaned and sterilized weekly or more.
@HypnøGhøst, how about grasshoppers in your canned spinach?! Lol....Fresh spinach for now on for me!! This happened to me years ago and I just can not eat another bite of canned spinach. Can't do it!!
What you said about the last fact, I work at KFC and the managers I work with are stickers about hygiene. We have to wash our hands like pretty much every 10 minutes.
I used to work in a small family owned sushi restaurant, so I add sushi to the list. Even if a restaurant serves sushi all the time some of the fish might not be as fresh as you would hope for. Even if the restaurant is by the water the fish comes in frozen in bulk. There are times when the chef refused to sell something because it was freezer burned. He was one of the good ones. Other chef not so much.
I got a cup of coffee at Friendly's and it tasted like clam chowder 😧I realized that they use the same mugs for soup and coffee and apparently don't clean them very well 😣yuck!
Friendly’s is disgusting. Years ago, our local one closed because its customers stopped going. I only went there a few times but the food was below average every single time and the place was usually dirty.
YourDEAD sadly that’s not easy - you have to be so careful. I’ve noticed in Metro Vancouver, BC, there are so many grocery stores now, that I don’t think the stuff sold moves as quickly. It can be hard to find good produce. I think every trip I make to a grocer I end up finding a few things that have gone bad and I point them out to workers who try to say oh thanks but you can tell they’re kinda pissed. Meat can be hit and miss too. Gotta check dates. Sometimes we will ask butcher for an odd size or cut that they get one fresher from the back. I’ve tried to source locally and sometimes near holidays, if we have company coming I’ve gone to local farms to get things, even bacon and pork products. Milk and dairy too you have to watch. I’ve even found expired products at the front. I know they are trained for last in first out, but sometimes they take that too far. Never had too much of any problems though with non-perishables just have to watch stuff that’s supposed to be fresh !
I don’t want to eat at McDonalds or and other fast food places.. Once, I actually got food poisoning at Wendy’s soon after I left and had to skip school. My mom ate some too and had the same stomach problems. I wish I could’ve gotten my money back but now it’s too late.
I can confirm the chili from Wendy’s is made from the over cooked patties and is made at the end of the day with a bag of chili and a ton of hose water
I used to work at a Cookout fast food place. I can say our chili for the hotdogs and chili cheese fries and whatever you wanted it on, were made from burgers that either get dried up on the flat or were burnt from the flat. They’d chop them up, then put in in a metal pan on ice. We used that same meat to do prep pans of chili and use them in the beef quesadillas. And when the chili or chili’s that we’re in the heating we’ll got too thick, they would just add water to it too.
I can vouch for this. I worked at a Taco Bell, anything that was expired was always thrown out even at the cost. The meat looks like that when it goes in because it's pretty chill before its put in the thermalizer. Much like when you put ground beef into the freezer, the fat solidifies and creates a whitish color. But once it's done heating (has to be a certain temperature before its served for safety reasons) its put into a clean metal pan and put on the line for use. If the time expires on it, it would be thrown away and the cycle would start again.
^^ The minimum wage employee that makes a bad name for the industry. - Doesn't know that reheat doesn't mean fresh, types in ALL CAPS, and doesn't realize that instant rice, beans etc aren't fresh. I don't recommend eating at Taco Bell; but it has nothing to do with what this person posted.
There was a lawsuit against Taco Bell saying that they can not call it seasoned beef because its mostly not beef .Taco Bell showed in the lawsuit that their ground beef is mostly made of isolate oat product which is basically ground up oat meal . Its not bad but its just mostly not beef
That wendys one was dead ass on point. I use to make it. And they made us do it like that. But i throw that shit away and cooked the patty on grill and did it .
I remember a documented experiment where they tested chicken from Subway and it contained less than 40% of chicken. Their bread used to contain the same ingredient as yoga mats to give elasticity. They claim the removed the ingredient but I wouldn't trust them. Also when cleaning up at Subway where I worked the workers would have to soak containers where the food was in a chemical solution and no one ever rinsed them after. They were just left to dry. They rarely ever washed vegetables before chopping, depends on the employee.
I worked at several Subways over 10 years. At a few of those,I started to throw away outdated food. But managers told me to just re-date them. Yeah,for real... I highly recommend NOT the crab or tuna
good to know
Same at Panera
the lettuce is always brown and tomatoes mushy at subway. ill never understand why people still go there
Same with taco bell and carls jr.
Walmart food good ..
I often judge a restaurant by their restrooms. The dirtier a restroom is, the dangerous their foods are.
I go to a little Mexican place that looks dirty a.f.
But when you go in the bathroom its spotless with marble counters and floor totally unexpected lol
So do I.☺
Lol why do people think this lol as some with over 16 yrs of experience the front house has nothing to do with back house. Just because an employee has mop a floor has nothing to do with nasty process machines or someone digging in their ass before handing food..NO FOOD IS SAFE SORRY
That's not always true
Which often just means that the cleaning service they ordered does a good job XD
I've been working at a McDonalds for 3+ Years and I can Vouch for this Video! We DON'T Clean the McCafe Machines, the Ice Machines, the Soda Machines or Microwaves and Ovens! There is ZERO Training on how to Disassemble and Clean Properly. Everything is Rushed! We are Open 24/7 so there is ZERO Time Spent on Properly Cleaning ANYTHING! Also, NOTHING is Fresh and EVERYTHING Comes in Frozen and Pre-cooked! We just Store Everything in Small Fridges and Walk-In Freezer/Fridges. Everything You Order is Whipped Together Hastefully and with Little to NO Care at all! Zero Time is Spent Training New Hires as They Tend to be Teens - Early 20s and Quit Almost as Fast as They are Hired. Only Time the Store is Properly Cleaned is RIGHT BEFORE AN INSPECTION! WE KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHEN THEY ARE COMING AND THEN AND ONLY THEN IS PROPER CARE GIVEN TO CLEANLINESS! The Fish, and Chicken DO INFACT SIT IN HEATING TRAYS for HOURS! Especially the Fish! Its Not Commonly Ordered so They just SIT IN THE TRAY AND STAY WARM FOR 4+ Hours! I Never Ate Fast Food Much Growing Up and even though it is RIGHT INFRONT OF ME and Offered to Us Free of Charge I NEVER EAT IT! Also, the Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles and Cheese are Laid Out in the Open for us to Assemble the Food. Problem there is they are CONSTANTLY Covered in Flies! We have NOTHING on hand to deal with them so They just Fuck and Fly Around on EVERYTHING! Save Your Money and just BUY YOUR OWN FOOD FOR YOUR KIDS! I Feel AWFUL Knowing a Large Amount of this Garbage is Served to Children. Trust Me, NO CARE IS GIVEN TO ANY OF THIS! Its All About Making the Most Money, the Cheapest Way Possible! You have been Warned!

I’m sorry to say but I’m never eating McDonald’s again (I don’t even really like it so that’s fine)
McDonalds sucks anyways.when I do eat fast food I always ask for no ketchup or mustard.not only do they put in on by the shovel full but they have to make a fresh one.go to chick fil a.they actually give a shit
Guarantee that 90% of people saying "I'll never eat there again!" are saying that while shoveling a handful of McDonald's fries into their mouths.
I don't like fries
Nah I’m just eating McFries dude, I’m that special 10%. all these scrubs eating McDonalds fries...pffft... oh wait

i worked for a dunkin donuts for almost 10 years. during those 10 years i learned how to take apart, clean, and calibrate every machine we had. i knew more about the machines than my manager. it was standard to clean the ice machine every 2 weeks. i would spend a couple of hours every other sunday removing all ice from the machine and taking it apart to clean.
kur0kiba i cleaned our ice machine out every 2 weeks when I was a supervisor at Friendly’s. It was hard work to get all the ice out, of which I tossed in the mop drain and the sinks. Cleaned the machine out with and made sure it was well dried out. Then flipped the switch before I left that night and fresh ice the next day. There are plenty of people in the industry that actually do care about their jobs and about safety. Most of these horror stories are rare occurrence. Just saying.
Wow, you don't hear of many places having anyone that cleans the ice machine... seriously thank you for dl'ing that in your time there. If we're could all stay talking pride in our work, no matter the work, itd be surprising but amazing!
@@nickiratliff84 It really wasn't required, but I just felt it needed to be done. I agree, pride in your job is def a skill that is lacking sometimes. If my doing that set an example to just one person, than it was well worth it.
I worked at one too. I was there 3 months, it had never been cleaned and I spent an hour trying to turn it back on after it failed beacuse the GM had never been trained on it. I wish i had worked at the one you did!
kur0kiba man can’t you start working again I don’t really trust that many restaurants or food places soo yeah but I understand if you don’t but thanks for cleaning and caring about other people now days lots of people are selfish

I used to work for subway in Canada, I was there for 7 years, they've removed pretty much all of the preservatives in stuff by the end of 2017.
"Shiny beef" is not due to stuff being added, jeez. It's because of diffraction grating. It's simply because of the way the light hits the meat that was sliced sharply against the grain.
The cold cut doesn't arrive in a "syrup;" meat has moisture in it and some of it collects at the bottom of the package. The smell comes from the gas that they have in the package. Oxygen reduces the shelf life of plenty of stuff; haven't you ever seen a cut apple go brown? They fill the package with gas to keep oxygen away. The use of modified atmosphere packaging actually means that they are taking steps to keep the food from spoiling without having to add preservatives.
The edges of the black forest ham are as smooth as it can get, I remember commenting to my old coworkers at how smooth the rind is. No hairs were seen during our close inspection.
As for the Tuna, those labels are simply saying that it is sourced from a provider that takes steps to prevent dolphins and turtles from being harmed in the process of catching the fish. Regulations may have changed, either stating that all commercial tuna must be sorced in such a manner, or that it is something that no longer is required to be noted on labels. The tuna is identical to what you get from the store; I've compared the look, texture, taste, and smell.
Had to scroll way too far to find this comment!
As... someone who works at McDonalds... Our managers are trained to clean are McCafe shake and frappe machine... And if more maintenance needs to be done we have a maintenance man come and do that stuff for us... As for the fish fillet and the Nuggets... We sell through nuggets ridiculously quickly... We can sell up to 100 nuggets in 10 minutes... But that just maybe where we live... Ask for the fish fillet? We never cook more than 4 at a time because no one ever buys it. And if the timer on the cabinet goes off then we toss what we have in the waste bin. And usually after 8 p.m. we cook everything fresh and to order. Yeah people have to wait but people don't usually complain about having fresh food
Sounds like you guys take pride in your food. My place was like that too in subway, we never served anything we wouldn't give to our family.
Thank you sharing that information and for doing great work. People underestimate how much of a well designed system is place at Mc Donald’s and how much work it must take meet the demands of consumers.
As someone who also works at McDonalds (Northern Canada), I can vouch for this, and if we don't keep everything clean, and nice the Managers will tell us to do so (Grill gets steam-cleaned every hour or sooner, and every time we switch products on the grill: ie going from beef to sausage, or vice-versa, and its scraped/squeegeed every time something comes off)
True attacking McD is just fun and apparently okay.
Most people know all fast food is fried to heck and not to much can survive that.
You could fry up a turd and put ketchup on it and it won't be too bad.
@@TheRoidemortetfleur I get hot oil splashed on my skin almost daily (I'm a clumsy fucker) and I can tell you, nothing could survive in it for more then 30 seconds (Everything that goes in the fryers takes over 2 min to cook minimum), and same thing with the grills, just touching them for a split second can give you a 2nd-3rd degree burn (speaking from experience), which at that temp, nothing could survive for even the minimum cook time (38 seconds) assuming it could even get to the meat (which is kept in a freezer until its put on the grill)
You have ruined everything I love in just 10 minutes

Wendy's "Expired meat" Is just meat that past the 4 minutes off the grill. The 4oz and 2oz patties are cooked for something like 2 min or 4 min. been a few years. Then it is put on station grills. The meat is considered Expired 4 minutes after leaving the dsg (dual sided grill) Once that happens it stands in a heated drawer for NO longer than one hour before being removed Chopped and Frozen to be used in Chili The same day or the next. We Never use meat that is past the use by date. It's a term for patties that are more than 4 minutes old. I've woken up two days later with nachos and beef in my fridge and still ate them. Ya'll need to Chill.
LOL I know, that one made me laugh, thanks for the clarification though of how silly this video's claims are.
I can state that this is fact as a former Wendy's employee.
Four minutes? Totally unacceptable. Y'all need to clean up your act.
I understand that what you're saying IS protocol... but at the end of the day, there are so many people out there that don't care about their job, having a bad enough day to disregard quality/protocol, don't pay attention, or maybe even feel like "getting back at the world". As a result, what should happen does not happen. To be fair this situation happens everywhere: medical field, law enforcement, judicial system, etc.
I like Wendy's chilli
I had to clean everything at the Target snack bar, and ,maybe it was just my manager, but those machines were CLEAN! Some people take pride in their work and do a good job. Just because you're a fast food employee doesn't mean you're a slacker

@@JohnathanGameGG funny how none of you ever film this for exposure. I dont believe it for a second.
I used to work at wendy's and yes the meat Is usually leftover from the day before. KFC did the same thing. Leftover chicken is put in the cooler and used the next day for bbq sandwiches.
Back when my stomach allowed me to eat chili, I would sometime buy the Wendy’s chili. Luckily the first time that I bought it, it was really good. Then I started noticing I was not. If you ever make chili from scratch at home, you will discover that the longer that it cooks- - the more it doesn’t taste right.
This is why I cook my food and eat at home more than go eat out.
Besides, I can adjust the flavor and control the texture of my meals

I work at Chick-fil-A and everything is perfectly fine. The salads are made fresh (though may be overcharged), we clean our ice and soda machines daily, the chicken is always cooked fresh and the kitchen gets scrubbed extremely well every night.

Chick fil a will never make these lists.thats a company that actually cares on speed and presentation.i live in Florida and all the restaurants are always very very very packed. and regardless of that the service is lightning speed.employees come and ask if you want a refill or to take your trash.nobody can never say anything bad.and the waffle fries are the bomb!!

I worked as a manager for wendys for 2.5 years and can vouch for all of the processes. The information about the chili is partial and not exactly how it works. The patties are made on a grill that has a timer to track which patties are which and how long until they need to be put into a warmer. When the time runs out on the patties they are transferred to the warmer and are held there until there is enough for a batch of chili or 3 hours whichever comes first. The warmer is set high enough to keep the patties above the food danger zone. When it is time to make a chili or it is necessary to store the meat it is rinsed thouroughly with hot water to remove the fat and then ground up to be added to the chili or stored in day marked heavy duty ziploc bags for use the next day. If the manager can keep an eye on the employees and the employees follow their training the meat is usually used by the next day. And i can assure you at my restaurant we went through at least 2 batches of chili on a slow day and 3 to 4 batches a day during the winter and my store wasnt even that busy. So please anyone that has reached the end of this statement stop trying to look for the nasty and gross of the restaurants because most restaurant stories you hear is told by someone who had a problem with the place or someone who knows someone with a problem with the place. Keep your mind open.
I actually think fast food restaurants are probably the cleanest it's mom&pop that are the worst you couldnt pay me enough to eat at a restaurant that is owned by a refugee especially someone from India , or middle East

They have the dumpsters at fast food restaurants behind locked gates (at least outside of Philly) so people cant dig out the food that is thrown out. It’s sad that people are going hungry while ‘food’ is sitting behind locked gates.
@@chakkakon Do you think having a bunch of homeless people behind your restaurant is good business? It makes guests uncomfortable which is why in my town the dumpsters are locked. I'm not bashing homeless people because they need all the help they can get which is why I I always help them when i can but I'm just being real.

This is true. My brother bought a 120 year old house and started having problems with the hot water after he moved in. When works started to fix the problem it was found that the water pipes throughout the home were blocked with more than 50% dirt build up. He ended up replacing all the pipes in the house.

Zack Playz Be careful with the bottle water. Alot of it is Right out of a Faucet.
I was a manager at a subway in Norway about ten years ago, and we had super strict rules about food temperatures and dates. We had to check every ingredients temp multiple times a day, put it in a form and sign it. At any random moment the food and health inspections could happen, and we could get closed immediately if something was very wrong. We once got a mark down because boxes of soda bottles was on the floor of our storage room. Nothing is supposed to be placed directly on the floor. Not at risk of being closed, but a thing we immediately had to fix. And our meat and veggies were local to our country so not the same stuff that is being sold in America. I will gladly eat at most fast food places in Norway, but not in a lot of other countries 😬
I`ll just starve after this video.
OMG SAMEE😭😂😂
Might as well hunt and harvest your own food
You will not starve you have homecooked food
I worked at Wendy's for 8 years and made many many batches of Chili. Yes what you said is somewhat true but highly embellished. No meat is "scrapped" off the grill. The grill is all the time filled with juices so the meat should always be fresh. After it is finished cooking and not served on a bun then it is tossed in the pan for the chili. Most all the time their wasn't enough patties for the chili so more meat is cooked up and added to the pans. Water is added to the pans of chili and then boiled and drained.
The Chili needs to cook for some time in order for all the ingredients to "mesh" together. Otherwise freshly made chili will not taste too good. The best chili I ate was over a day old, I ate the hell out of it it was so good. YUM! The pans of chili are quite big and sits inside another pan with water underneath and the chili has lids over the top of them. for them to lose that much water out while cooking is unlikely because I very rarely ever recall adding water to the chili while at Wendy's. Now at home I do add water if I want it more watery. At wendy's everything is fresh, fresh red beef not frozen, fresh salad, and nothing is kept for very long except the chili. It has a timer and when the timer goes off it us thrown away. fries for example have a 5 min holding time.
I FRIKKIN LOVE WENDY'S CHILI!
Fresh or rotten, beef is dangerous and will invite gross diseases to your body. WHEN WILL YOU WESTERNERS UNDERSTAND THIS?

CrazyTesseract dude you’re talking to 2 people I think “you Westerners” is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you?
Uhhhh. I just mentioned that in the main comments. When my best friend worked at a Wendy's he told me about the chili.
I worked at Mc Donald’s and we cleaned every coffee machine Mc cafe machine too...management only though
I worked there for 2 months and was there often- not once did i see the coffee machine cleaned. I think it just depends on where you go
what if your lying and just trying to promote the buisness so more people buy it
That rainbow color in meat isn't from preservatives, it's there from a protein in the meat. You can see this effect in many roast beefs
Well then how come fresh meat we cook ourselves doesn't look like a shiny rainbow? Preservatives all the way. The meat you buy from any deli counter in supermarkets all looks and tastes processed/fake. They try to disguise that with spices but it still doesn't taste like fresh meat
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship It won't look this way if you cook it because you cooked it. That breaks down those proteins that make that rainbow looking color. Look for a preservative and nitrate free rare to medium rare roast beef. It will still have those odd colors.
No, I disagree. Where are you getting your information? I'm referring to roast beef (as an example) that isn't rare so what you're saying makes no sense. My point is, if I cook roast beef at home, no rainbow colours (of course) but the stuff they sell in supermarkets is like that and doesn't taste right. They do something to it but that something is a well kept secret
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship I'm getting my information from when i worked at a deli. But if it's still rainbow looking after it's been fully cooked (where there's no more red or blood), then yeah, something is probably wrong with it
This is exactly what I went to the comments looking for. Thanks!
4:59 - This makes me like their chili more. They aren’t wasting food. (I doubt they are literally using expired patties. Just not fresh enough for a burger.)
The longer you simmer chili or soup, the better the flavors meld. Heard of a crock pot? I’ve let them cook for 8-10 hours on low.
Adding water if it dries out isn’t so bad. That’s what you’ve lost.
Soup and chili are dishes that improve when left in a warmer.
I worked there and we just used patties at the end of the night that didnt sell or literally cool new ones,
Old comment but this just really highlights how many people don't know how to cook or how things work. Given that Wendy's often has their chilli pot open (for serving, string, lid design, etc) of course it's going to thicken because all that water is going to evaporate as steam without any way of retaining it. In fact, people who can cook are able to play with sauce/broth/base thickness by simply adding or removing a cover during the course of cooking. But somehow, adding water to thin the mixture - like any sensible person would do at home if they bothered to cook - is suddenly scandalous.
Like you - I'm totally for this creative and beneficial use of meat. Not only does Wendy's consider their meat 'expired' if it sits for more than four minutes after cooking (hence not really expired), the style of the dish they use really works well with meat that's been made tougher (like storing/freezing for future use).
It's pretty depressing that people are so removed from their food that the act of repurposing meat in an economic and efficient way is seen as gross, or don't know simple things like why roast beef shines.

It is not a common practice for bread to be re-used for a table. If a place does that they are garbage anyway. Plus what the hell would chefs know about that? They usually don't serve that since it's a server or host job to set that up. Also said to avoid house salad because it uses simple ingredients that you could probably make at your home. First off....no shit. It's a goddamn salad, if you have lettuce in your fridge then you have it nailed down. Second, most people eat out because A. It's a special evening/vacation or B. You wanted a night off from cooking. If you're worried about a $3 salad don't eat out period. Also, I eat stuff like that at restaurants because there's a good chance they can still do a salad better than me at home. I don't know about fast food but the service industry gets a raw deal because of a few scumbag companies and managers. If there's a real problem it's probably wasted food, and I don't mean expired. After working for half a dozen restaurants I've seen more food thrown away than kept to get old in a fridge.
I like this channel but sometimes it's like they have a panel of experts and someone's douchebag cousin sitting in a room going over this. A few good facts then some hearsay bs, a few more facts and a bogus opinion.
When we speak about a good restaurant, the price of food can be at least 5 time biggeer than cost of price for making home. For example, a salad with tomato in my city cost around 15 dolars, who have 200 gram of tomato and 50 gram of mixed salad . But, the cost of one kilo of tomato it's 1 dolars, or even cheaper if you buy from farmers .
they had this big hype for some italian place opening in this one town, on opening night a table asked for bread so the teenage waiter hands them slices of texas toast from the bag
Ive worked at quite a few restaurants that were in a chain and we never keep and resued anything off a table other than salt pepper ketchup and mustard
I agree with you. I know a bunch of people in the food industry and they all agree with you too, Most of the time things are fine, but like you said, it's the few scumbags that cause the issue, but those businesses shut down fast. I never had any problem with mcd's or burger king, or the local diner for that matter. Always good, always clean, always consistent, at least at those particular ones I go to. But then i live in in a highly regulated state so if they want to remain open they have to be on the ball about everything.

Eh, I worked at Wendys and yes they do use the old hamburgers (thats maybe 2-3 hrs old) that has been cooked to put in their chili. They don't use expired meat, or grease traps to use in the chili. Just like your chili at home, some water may be added. I would still tear it up after I made it myself.
El Jefe, I was about to comment on that as well. I worked for Wendy's for 2 years in the late 1980's, and yes, we saved the dry patties all day to put in the chili. And like you, I never saw them use grease trap drippings for the chili, that's gross!!
Same, he very vaugly described the process of Wendy's chilli. Plus, the beef is rinsed off of all grease before portioned and used.
It only makes sense to use the meat you do for chilli. Why waste it? My favorite item.

Okay but like I also cook batches of hot dogs and leave the leftovers in the fridge for several days, reheating them one by one over the course of like five days if I have that many. What, suddenly because someone else is doing it it's gonna gross me out?
Yea, but hot dogs are like 80% preservatives, so they're gonna be fine anyway. Generally most cooked food last for 7-10 days under refrigeration, after that you're supposed to toss it if you're a restaurant. So esentially every restaurant parbakes, or pre cooks most things and finish them off when they are ordered, keeps the food cost down because it takes longer to go bad after cooking. (less moisture, less bacteria, more salt and other natural preservatives.
You my friend are eating too many hot dogs!!

Yep.. that's all true for McDonald's. I work there.. some food should be held for up to 45 minutes, but we hold it untill we sell it.. it's not the employee fault, it's the store manager,owner , and corporate faults.
See
Employees are threatened with termination if they throw the food out, but they won't let us eat the food when it goes pass time, and they cut our work hours or days if we have to much food going to waistcan or left over at the end of the day( and they don't let us take that food home which we are clearly about to throw out to end the day).. as for the worms and maggots ,I have never seen them but if you are using food with flys around then it will happen. Fly eggs hatch in 30min to a few hours after being laid.( Meaning if you see maggots the the food is old) and everything you said about the machines are true to the core.. if it comes from a machine, don't buy it. And get all drinks with no ice are just buy whatever is in a bottle...
This is true.
I work at McDonald's..
All they focus on is speed and profit.. and don't care if your loving it.
'that's all true for McDonald's' - really you support that nonsense of live maggots when it's thin uniform patties being cooked to 155F and held at safe temps? Managers know more than you 'crew' employees about food safety. If they make their customers sick; they lose their jobs too. Get yourself some Serv-Safe certification, learn some shit and stop dissing your current employer because atm; you're not worth minimum wage.
@@madthumbs1564 don't get mad when the truth is told..you know like I do, that the meat gets old and dry and if you don't close the UHC all the way the meat and chicken will get off temperature.( Cold). You let sandwiches sit in the bin Untill someone else orders the same sandwich then you just give them that old run down bad cheese looking Burger. And If you must know I said I HAVE NEVER seen maggots or worms, but I know that it can happen. And also the fish can have worms in it. Albeit they will be dead from being frozen and then fried. But if you know how they look then you will spot them if they are there.. and don't talk to me about safe Serv certificates. Just cause a person has one, does not mean they take what they learn and imply it to in store operations. All you managers are worried about is food cost, waist, speed, not getting a complaint and LABOR. Y'all just want a check. y'all don't care about cleaning anything untill the week of your
C.s.o. are your f.o.r...
I bet you could not put your hand on a Bible and truthfully say that your ice machine has been cleaned in the last 30 days..not wiped down, I mean cleaned out.. and that's a shame because it is supposed to be sanitized once a week, cleaned once a week and detailed once a month. ( So if it has been more than 7days since the last time it was cleaned, how can you say it doesn't have slim and pink and black mold in it )..I might not be worth my employer having me, but the managers that work for him are in the same boat with me. if the food is bad it's the manager who should spot it before a customer because they should be doing a walk through every 30to40 min and it should include temping the food. but y'all don't do that, not to mention how you managers pen whip the food safety book.
Managers don't know shit.. all they know is bark out orders to crew, don't get a complaint and protect labor at 18to 19%..
So ATM shut tha fuck up..
I work there but they don't own me. I say what I want to say in line with free speech.. and I ain't one to be played with. So don't play with me.
I don't own McDonald's and I ain't going try to defend it... You can do that .. hope you get a promotion..
I don't care no more about it than the guy who owns it but don't even know who works for him. As long as we show up and work, he is good. And as long as he pay for the work we good... And just so you know I don't give a damn about working to make the next guy rich while he won't even give a proper raise to help off set the increase in the cost of living.. if we had a choice we would quit working for minimum wage because as far as the low class is concerned, minimum wage ain't worth our time.. it has not went up since Obama for more then 8years but the cost of living has went up every year. So it ain't like we making good money. If we get sick for more than 2days we won't have all the rent and bill money. But we still need to eat, travel, wash clothes, and take care of stuff other than bills. We work to pay bills and eat at work (how that sound), and Ware the same work shirt 2and 3days..
Fuck minimum wage..
And that's how I feel about you and McDonald's and working for minimum wage...
By by now

The picture of the meat with rainbow colors is normal, its just refracting the light.
Also; salt is a preservative, and so is fermentation. Video obviously not done by a food safety professional.

@@joebessette6565 People are ignorant. Its like people getting their panties in a bunch if meat in the store is grey. Yeah, thats called oxidation. Its normal. Grocery stores and butchers use food dye to keep their meat red.
@@shawnm7246 - I work at a butcher in a local Kroger owned company. It is usually altered before we get it, but that is usually the case with beef. Ground beef naturally has bits of brown in it because of the heat generated by the grinder and bits of white from the animal fat. If it is red all the way through and has "natural flavors" in it, it is a lie. As for the iridescent colors, it could also be excess food grade mineral oils used to keep the saws running without issue.
@@Zeivusgaming Yeah, growing up we raised animals for food and hunted... so I know what color meat is. About 5 minute after cutting it, it goes brown naturally. Most people only know meat from a supermarket however.
The burger king I used to work at, I was doing morning prep and I went into the freezer to get the tomatoes to cut them up. While opening the box, I discovered moldy tomatoes and I told my manager. She got upset and blamed me. Minutes later, she was checking them to see which was good and which was bad. She threw away a fresh tomato and ends up digging it up out if the trash and putting it in the fresh container of tomatoes. I quit that day.

In cities such as Seattle, they have STRICT regulations about health and safety. This place called "Moo Bar", is at the 'okay' rating, which means that place is inspection away from getting shut down.
The inspections don't have any warning, and inspectors can waltz in at any given time, and not give the restaurants any time to prepare, leaving every restaurant practically scared into keeping it clean.

JESUS CHRIST the standards for McDonald's around the world must be pretty low...
I used to be an assistant manager at a McDonald's and let me reassure you that, at least in Canada, we literally had employees specifically trained to clean and maintain the entire shake machine and we would throw away anything that was expired, plus we'd have new products delivered 1-2 times a week to ensure they're actually served fresh. Also our coffee machines are a totally different process, my boyfriend used to work overnights there and he had to take the coffee machines apart to clean them, you'd get written up if things weren't up to standards.
Also the floor managers would actually check the meat temperatures before we started serving it to make sure it's cooked properly and we'd have to actually record the temps to AVOID those issues with bacteria and such, you'd get in serious shit if you didn't write the temps down or if you served food with low temps.
As for the chicken and fish, we're actually SUPPOSED to get rid of them after a while and we're supposed to only cook a specific amount depending on the time of day, the reason why the chicken and fish may "stay for a long time" is because sometimes the kitchen people would make WAY too much and they wouldn't throw it out when the timer went off, but thankfully they'd get in shit for it. Plus a lot of the stuff, mostly the breakfast stuff is pretty much the same shit you'd get at the grocery store, we used a lot of reputable brands. Not trying to defend McDonald's, it's still not the healthiest, but it's not the worst either. Oh well, I guess it depends on who owns the franchises and such.
However, I can definitely vouch for Subway being terrible. Trust me, my brother is a manager at one and it is FAR worse, upper management would give him shit for getting rid of expired food, he's actually considering reporting it to the health inspectors... Also Tim Hortons is just as bad, I have friends who worked there, oh and they don't use actual eggs there btw. Just so you know.
*Tl;dr McDonald's at least in Canada has ACTUAL standards that you'd get in shit for if you didn't follow them, Subway and Tim Hortons don't follow those standards and are FAR worse. Stay the FUCK away from the latter two.*

Tajima-gyu cattle, Kobe beef, is NOT fed beer or massaged with Saki nor do they chill to classical music... it's all nothing but urban myths.

This line has remained isolated and thus pure since the 2nd century.
@Faris Khadar Nonsense. no sane person puts anything outside good quality salt or salt & fresh cracked pepper on Kobe beef. It needs nothing added to it, as is true of any high quality meats.

I worked in restaurants all my life. And even if there’s a ice scoop there’s always employees to take their cups that they’ve been drinking out of scoop the ice and then go fill their drink up. Absolutely sick and disgusting. Also seen employees use your hands just keep out ice. Also no employees to handle ice who I knew didn’t wash your hands ever even after using the bathroom. Are ringing out old dirty mops among other things. Even good restaurants have nightmarish things that go on in the background in many cases best that you don’t know what is actually happening to your dishes and some of the dirty rags and things are used to wipe the dishes if the machine does not get them completely clean. It gets pretty disturbing I asked to resign from one restaurant because it was so disgusting even though it was a better restaurant and overall it was pretty clean it was just certain things that were going on that were small but disturbing.

The remaining 9% is at sit-down restaurants and bakeries. Used to love to eat out and LOVED fast food 15+ years ago. But it's not safe for a variety of reasons.
that's like me. I eat out about 5 times a year... if I'm lucky.
Ah yes, I could tell some horror stories about Subway in the short time I worked there. I think it was just a thing for the particular one I worked at, but my boss kept changing the label on the chicken that indicated how long it was there and when it needed to be thrown out. It would start getting this chemical smell and turn a weird color but it didn't rot bc of all the preservatives. Myself and others got in trouble for throwing it out bc it smelled bad. There was other stuff too, but it's been a few years and I only worked there 3 months. I was the 13th person to quit in that time span
Now I know what not to do 😂
hellasow I was just thinking the same thing!!! This video is complete total 100% BS
In Sydney there is this pretty big fish market
They sell oysters there, you said if it is at less than 60km away it’s good.
Well, it’s right next to the ocean,you could fall into the water
The seafood there is NOICE
Dat Yoshi Boi is it ZAG seafood?
Small town. I personally know everyone that works at the few fast food we have here.
They do quite well.
I worked at Burgerking on Candler Rd in Decatur, GA. I will never eat at Burgerking again. They prepare multiple sandwiches for any rush that might come in. Aftee the rush ends, and prepared sandwiches stay up on the heating shelf. If a customer opens their sandwich and doesn't like it, they return it and management prefers the cooks to rewrap them and place them back on the shelf for future customers who order that particular sandwich. If you go to a fast food burger place, always order a burger with modifications. Like extra onions. No ketchup. Well done. Anything that they most likely wouldn't have already made.
@@TH-camCensorsAndSuppresses Things like that and modded orders are the best things to order. Regularly prepared food is usually old
yea some dbag carls junior manage got made because i at half a chicken tender before returning it for the burger i orderd, ther was an order after mine i overheard them talking about and wanting to use my chicken for that order and he was acting like a little bitch because i took a bite of it, i had the receipt that said i order burger but he still acted like i was in trouble for eat the wrong order he gave me and butt hurt he couldnt resell it, AFTER i had already pulled it out of wrapper..
@@walmartian you confused a chicken strip for a hamburger?
@@icedice6393 no but why should i not get a free bite out of something an idiot fuct up on
If you ask extra onions, they can still add them to an old burger. The real trick is tuo order your burger without meat.
I used to work in Burger King 15 years ago. The place was overall clean. BUT the oil that was used for fries was disgusting if it is not fresh which is most days. They used this white powder chemicals that cleansed the oil so that dirty parts settled as as sludge at the buttom of the fryer. And then scraped off. I have no idea what that chemical was made off.
Good thing I don't like BK fries. xD
It is just baking soda
@@loristrout4741 Or crack. Lol
The bit about bread being passed around from table to table is complete bull*hit. I have been in the industry for years and have worked for several restaurants. I have never even heard of this. Also, it is completely unnecessary as the bread usually costs the restaurant next to nothing.
Are you telling me that McRibs don’t look good… they look like concrete blocks… cuz… I’m totally gonna lose sleep over the fact that they look like concrete blocks… cuz it freakin matters… 🙄
what if i find an alien that has a diet of concrete blocks
It's not like they taste any better than they look.
Anyone with food allergies should avoid restaurants due to cross-contamination concerns. Just ordering foods that don't contain your allergy trigger isn't good enough. Surfaces and equipment used to prepare your food can easily come in contact with ingredients that come from recipes that DO contain your trigger. People who eat kosher or vegan can also be served food cross-contaminated by contact with forbidden foodstuffs.
You get bugs and rat parts in ketchup, cows ingest bugs when eating grass. Nothing is totally herbivorous. You can find many videos of herbivores eating animals on youtube; squirrels, cows, deer, etc can be found eating other animals.
@@madthumbs1564 first; I'm not vegan so giving that speech to someone who had meatloaf for dinner, WITH ketchup, is kind of like trying to put sandals on a duck. Second; if you make all of your own food, using only ingredients you grew and processed yourself, you could, theoretically, eat scrupulously vegan. However the amount of time and effort it would take would be a full-time job. But someone with enough resources and determination could, once again theoretically, accomplish it. Though frankly the number of items you could safely eat and still be certain you were avoiding even accidentally ingesting any animal matter, wouldn't allow much variety. Someone attempting such an experiment would be hardpressed to be able to include enough variety to provide a nutritionally complete diet.
@@madthumbs1564 I hate when people try to make it seem like it's a sin to be vegan. Because it's really not. As much as I wouldn't go vegan, I don't think it's wrong as long as they're not trying to force it down your throat.
Which this person didn't do, they were just warning vegans or people with allergens that fast food is usually cross-contaminated, as they put it.
And before you write something to invalidate vegans, make sure you get your facts right. :`)
when i worked at jets i used to throw out stuff that smelled rotten but i was the only person that thought it was spoiled... even after smelling it they didnt think anything was wrong with it. Ppl r just so stupid. the tomatoes from the previous night smelled so bad you could bairly even tolerate a wiff of them but nobody thought that wasnt normal. I threw the stuff out every time even tho my manager who worked there for 18 years said they were fine.
Mc Donald's is always cleaning the ice cream machine when ever I want one they always say "sorry it broken or sorry we are cleaning it"
Lol their lying. You wouldnt believe how often they lie just to be lazy. Like the manager that plans Birthday parties answering the phone and telling the caller "sorry the girl who plans Birthday parties isn't here today" that woman..just wow.
Most of the time it really is broken, you it's insane how much you have to fight with it
Well just like you ordering your ice cream, there hundreds before you wanting it to. Machines do havr breaking points, especially used the amount it does.
Waiter- are you having desert?
Me after seeing this- no, I'll take the check, a paramedic, ambulance, and a stomach pumping.
Chase Bristow Hahahahaha foreal
bad manners to be using your phone while at the table. and... great way to over eat .. and.. i totally second you on a stomach cleaning f mcds
As a Mc Donald’s employee I can tell you that company standards are very explicit, all foods are frozen till cooked and held in the warmers ONLY 30 minutes and have a strict holding temp to prohibit spoilage. At the end of hold time food MUST be thrown out. ALSO the ice cream and coffee machines are totally broken down and cleaned and sterilized weekly or more.
Honestly, I'd rather eat grasshoppers than McDonalds.
Grasshoppers taste better, I know from experience.
@HypnøGhøst, how about grasshoppers in your canned spinach?! Lol....Fresh spinach for now on for me!! This happened to me years ago and I just can not eat another bite of canned spinach. Can't do it!!
Hey hypno. Your name ain’t John the B. Is it
@@danhollis2528 No, why?
HypnøGhøst ask someone religious. It was just a friendly joke
@@danhollis2528 Oh! Could you please explain..? Sorry if I'm bothering you. I think I completely missed the joke..
What you said about the last fact, I work at KFC and the managers I work with are stickers about hygiene. We have to wash our hands like pretty much every 10 minutes.
The skin on your hands must be dry as fuck yo.
The managers are stickers?
I used to work in a small family owned sushi restaurant, so I add sushi to the list. Even if a restaurant serves sushi all the time some of the fish might not be as fresh as you would hope for. Even if the restaurant is by the water the fish comes in frozen in bulk. There are times when the chef refused to sell something because it was freezer burned. He was one of the good ones. Other chef not so much.
I got a cup of coffee at Friendly's and it tasted like clam chowder 😧I realized that they use the same mugs for soup and coffee and apparently don't clean them very well 😣yuck!
Jcm A 🤢🤮
Friendly’s is disgusting. Years ago, our local one closed because its customers stopped going. I only went there a few times but the food was below average every single time and the place was usually dirty.
LOL!!!
Happy to live in Germany because of the hygiene standards 😊😊😊
the hunns have no hygiene stardards. wake the fuck up
jep, same in austria
Germany sucks we kicked they’re ass twice in a row ✅
Austria makes good handguns tho so I won’t say shit about them
America has hygene standards too 😆 don't be fooled I doubt everything in Germany is sparkling clean
10:03 my dad always asks for the matzo ball on the side when he gets soup from a restaurant it pisses off the waiters but he always gets more soup.
You forgot Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza
So don’t trust nothing but your own home cooked food
YourDEAD sadly that’s not easy - you have to be so careful. I’ve noticed in Metro Vancouver, BC, there are so many grocery stores now, that I don’t think the stuff sold moves as quickly. It can be hard to find good produce. I think every trip I make to a grocer I end up finding a few things that have gone bad and I point them out to workers who try to say oh thanks but you can tell they’re kinda pissed. Meat can be hit and miss too. Gotta check dates. Sometimes we will ask butcher for an odd size or cut that they get one fresher from the back. I’ve tried to source locally and sometimes near holidays, if we have company coming I’ve gone to local farms to get things, even bacon and pork products. Milk and dairy too you have to watch. I’ve even found expired products at the front. I know they are trained for last in first out, but sometimes they take that too far. Never had too much of any problems though with non-perishables just have to watch stuff that’s supposed to be fresh !
I don’t want to eat at McDonalds or and other fast food places.. Once, I actually got food poisoning at Wendy’s soon after I left and had to skip school. My mom ate some too and had the same stomach problems. I wish I could’ve gotten my money back but now it’s too late.
Cheesecake Factory has about 20 menu pages lol
The only thing not made daily at cheesecake is the cheesecake. Just about everything else is made fresh, to order. I worked there for years.
I can confirm the chili from Wendy’s is made from the over cooked patties and is made at the end of the day with a bag of chili and a ton of hose water
yeah, but I eat it anyway - and like it.
Thats so fucking gross that should be illegal
I used to work at a Cookout fast food place. I can say our chili for the hotdogs and chili cheese fries and whatever you wanted it on, were made from burgers that either get dried up on the flat or were burnt from the flat. They’d chop them up, then put in in a metal pan on ice. We used that same meat to do prep pans of chili and use them in the beef quesadillas. And when the chili or chili’s that we’re in the heating we’ll got too thick, they would just add water to it too.
Reason why I buy my own groceries and cook at home 👍🏽
Tiffany Williams dont believe everything that the internet says it could possibly be fake
I was "Let Go" from a restaurant after bringing questionable practices to their attention.
10:30 LMAO the pic of Chloe getting interrupted with the flash 🤣 gives me life
I WORK AT TACO BELL AND WE USE A HOT WATER THERM TO REHEAT THE MEAT FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT IS ALWAYS FRESH WE NEVER USE NON FRESH INGREDIENTS
I can vouch for this. I worked at a Taco Bell, anything that was expired was always thrown out even at the cost. The meat looks like that when it goes in because it's pretty chill before its put in the thermalizer. Much like when you put ground beef into the freezer, the fat solidifies and creates a whitish color. But once it's done heating (has to be a certain temperature before its served for safety reasons) its put into a clean metal pan and put on the line for use. If the time expires on it, it would be thrown away and the cycle would start again.
^^ The minimum wage employee that makes a bad name for the industry. - Doesn't know that reheat doesn't mean fresh, types in ALL CAPS, and doesn't realize that instant rice, beans etc aren't fresh. I don't recommend eating at Taco Bell; but it has nothing to do with what this person posted.
There was a lawsuit against Taco Bell saying that they can not call it seasoned beef because its mostly not beef .Taco Bell showed in the lawsuit that their ground beef is mostly made of isolate oat product which is basically ground up oat meal . Its not bad but its just mostly not beef
@@rbeck3200tb40 That was long ago but My Taco Bell uses 100% actual beef
@@ashleyt5175 Yeah exactly what I was saying
That wendys one was dead ass on point. I use to make it. And they made us do it like that. But i throw that shit away and cooked the patty on grill and did it .
you are a hero
I remember a documented experiment where they tested chicken from Subway and it contained less than 40% of chicken. Their bread used to contain the same ingredient as yoga mats to give elasticity. They claim the removed the ingredient but I wouldn't trust them. Also when cleaning up at Subway where I worked the workers would have to soak containers where the food was in a chemical solution and no one ever rinsed them after. They were just left to dry. They rarely ever washed vegetables before chopping, depends on the employee.
but i love subway...
I knew about the ice one, that's why I don't get ice with my drink.
