I work in restaurants for 30 years the last 10 years I've been a GM. There is a lot of Truth to what's being said and then there isn't. It really comes down to the staff in the management in that restaurant. There are some McDonald's that are just ridiculously clean, and there's ones that aren't. Doesn't matter if it's a mom and pops or a corporate chain store. Trust me when I say it all comes down to the management staff and the employees.
I have to say that’s not true about Subway’s tuna sandwiches. It may just depend on the franchise but when I worked there we definitely made new tuna salad and did not use anything past the use by date.
I worked at McDonalds years ago and there are time limits for how long food can sit before it has to be thrown out. At that time it was 30 minutes max. We cleaned the milkshake machine ( drained of milk) and cleaned every night. I also worked at Arby’s and the beef comes in large sides that are roasted and then put on spit for slicing. All restaurants have to follow public health guidelines and food can’t be cooked and then “left to sit for hours”. Fake stories.
I worked for a few places including McDonalds. Machine was emptied and cleaned every night and I set it up in the morning. Every place I worked we had to label EVERYTHING we filled with the date and were especially careful with dairy.
Hi guys I’m a waiters in a restaurant . We never compromise the the health of customer and clean everything everyday and have big cleaning day ones a month when we go home 2 in the morning after wash the whole restaurant. We do such a hard work 😓 to maintain the standard. So don’t say like that. Stay blessed.😇
Hi Colleen. Like you, I worked in a McD's for several years. Their timers were garbage; they were just reset and nobody checking would know the difference. However, the times that I was cooking (I worked only a few hours), I'd slightly undercook the eggs, or try to. I knew they'd finish cooking in the holding bins prior to making the sandw. However, the evening cleaning seemed to be a joke. Times I went by for one reason or another, everybody seemed to be on the outside, or back of the kitchen, having a good time. To this day, if and when I eat there breakfast time, I ask for a muffin egg on whatever bread I'm having, with no sce . I don't like the sce, but the main reason is that, more so than the folded eggs, one can tell right away if it's old or not. If you like the sce, get it on the side.
I work at sonic...and I can confirm that my location and the surrounding one's train thoroughly on all stations, and our ice cream machine gets properly cleaned regularly... in fact, when carhops are hired, they're first trained exclusively on drinks and ice cream. On the topic of the cross contamination, and as someone with a food allergy, you learn that you run the risk of cross contamination at every single restaurant you eat at...it's just a fact of life...however, and I don't speak for all locations, but our restaurant is kept in immaculate conditions.
I worked at sonic drive inn for 4 yrs. We cleaned the ice cream machine twice weekly. We had to wash and sanitize our hands every 15 minutes. It was extremely clean inside and outside the store. This was from 2002-2006. Hopefully it’s still the same.
We have a Sonic here that has to be the cream of the crop..when you get a burger from them, its so juicy and fresh that when you bite into it, it literally MELTS in your mouth....OMG its unbelievable..why can't EVERYBODY make burgers like that?....and you can't get those kind at just ANY Sonic either...you have to go to the one here in town on a certain corner....man i could eat lunch there EVERY DAY and never get tired of it
Husband spent decades as a sales rep to restaurants and, while the details in your video are true, restaurants-even expensive ones-are no different. If you really want to know about your food-stay home, sharpen your own cooking skills.
That is not true. That crap is not real food. Ever since the first one popped up, people started getting sick and fat. Even your average child is now fat.
Remember when going to your local fast food place. They generally hire teenagers. Think about what a teenager's bedroom and bathroom look like. Exactly. They wouldn't know hygen if it slapped them in the selfie.
This is a stereotypical and unfounded statement. To say restaurants generally hire teens is a hasty generalization, and so is it to say that a teenager's hygienic practices or lack thereof correlate with his/her work practices.
@@TRahjey Hardly a generalization. I have frequented about 8 fast food restaurants in my town for the last 9 years. The majority of the employees are teenagers. I went to Chic Filet today. I didn't meet anyone over age 20 helping me with my order. A person who has poor hygiene in their personal life doesn't develop good hygiene wen they walk behind a counter at Mc Donalds.
The Burger King chicken does not sit around all day. I worked there all through high school and depending on the time of the day (busy or not), we would only cook the amount needed. It did sit under a heat lamp, but not for long. Same with the Whopper jr. Those are the same patties and buns used for their smaller sandwiches, so they're never sitting around.
Only thing I disagree with is that butter does not necessarily need to be refrigerated. AS long as it is not abnormally heated, room temp butter lasts a long time.
This is exactly the kind of misinformation that fuels a lot of rumors and lies. Not to say that it's not true but blanket statements are almost always inaccurate. Just because a restaurant does something unsavory doesn't mean that every establishment in the chain does the same. It seems that the problem at these places is poor management.
Well said. Nobody will ever listen though. The world these days is fueled by drama and bullshit from parents and kids alike. Any persons born in 2000 or after are lost causes and that's the honest truth. Lets hope Carnona kills them all then start fresh with kids that actually take education seriously.
I work at McDonalds that is a franchise location and our owner is big about keeping everything super clean all the time. Our ice cream machine gets cleaned every couple days and is drained of all milk and ice cream before being cleaned.
That's great to hear. Beyond food quality - cleanliness is essential and great customer service. Sounds like your experience was very positive and I am sure the owner is very successful.
@@theodoreboosalis I feel lucky to work for the franchise that I work for. Shes a great person to work and makes sure we do everything we can to be as good as possible at what we do
@@ExodusRae I agree. Tone at the top - best owners are the inclusive ones - meaning they love all their stakeholders and embrace them as if they are owners.
Not sure about the rest of the fast food places this video talked about. I use to work at mcDonalds as an opener which is the person who tears down the shake machines and sanitizes it completely running it through for 15 minutes then rinsing it before assembling it and prepping it with the bags of icecream mix
My mother worked at an Arby's in Bloomington Indiana and her location served real roast beef she was the one responsible for cutting the meat to the appropriate size with a meat slicer
Yep, I worked at an Arbys for almost 7 years. The beef is real, cooked throughout the day according to hourly sales and always sliced fresh when you order your sandwich. All other meats and produce is sliced fresh every morning according to that days projected sales.
You guys are starting to reach with these videos. I'll eat most of the things you covered, and I'm an exercise nut. Matter of fact, I'll go 2 or 3 deep on the McRib. Same for filet-o-fish.
I question some of the “facts” presented by the former employees. These chains must follow federal and state food safety laws. Some of these allegations would make people deathly sick if true.
If you're in good health and eat something slightly old, etc., you most likely won't get sick. Or won't think it's from the food anyway (meaning feeling a bit off). The chains, granted, must follow gov't food safety guidelines, but that doesn't mean they do constantly. Many are told when investigators, from the company or gov't, are coming. I'm not saying this is across the board, which it's not. Many I've seen are extremely good with sanitation & food safety, but you never know which ones are and aren't. (I've worked my life in food service, to let you know where I'm coming from)
Here in Austin, there is a little hamburger stand called Sandy's near downtown. It sits next to a whataburger. The ice cream is made with real custard and beats any chain hands down. Sandy's has been there since the 1940s and from what I can tell, they have not changed a thing.
I used to work for Arby's what you said is untrue, it's a roast put into a bag. That bag is then put into an oven with a thermometer. Then sliced finely!. It's not practical board, not bit peices, some places may do it that way. But we never did....
There this is one thing I learnt when I 16 years old I used to work at Western Sizzlin my buddy cooked he was pretty much a badass and some dude gotten his face when I told him how how shity he made a steak he said well, okay I'll make you another one well I'll come by and I seen my buddy and he's like looked look at my feet I'm like what the f*** are you doing our floor was Gracie and he was standing on a on the steak he says this is that guy's steak that was complaining to me
Bottom line everytime you eat out your taking risks,stay home and cook. Also if you have to or prefer to eat out,use common sense and don't be lazy. I for one never do drive thru, Rain, snow or shine I gotta go inside & I watch as they prepare my food & also go doing the rush hr so you lesson ur chance of getting sick like 12:00 or 5 when there's alotta turn over so ur food doesn't have a chance to sit & must be made fresh. Also helpful hint,most fastfood restaurants has surveys on there receipt where you can get free food for doing a 5 min survey 👌🏾😋
He is such a lier. McDonald's cleaned the machine every night. I leave my butter out so when I put it on bread the bread doesn't break. Meat paste what a lie.
I used to let people know "I worked at Arby's, and the 'Roast Beef' comes as two cans labeled Part A and Part B. One is a liquid, one is a powder and you blend them together then let set for an hour, before baking." People were grossed out. I never worked at Arby's.
@@CaesarCapone I worked at Arby's for a couple weeks in San Antonio Texas on the military base. The roast beef doesn't come that way. But that was funny if people believe you. Lol They did make a good sandwich the milkshakes were good also. Like anything else if you eat it all the time it probably won't taste good.
I remember when I got my first job at KFC I was in training they had me preparing grilled chicken and making regular chicken let me tell you this the first day working there it smelt so bad in that kitchen and the griller machine looked like it hasn't been cleaned In years i was shocked what I was seeing I quit the next day
I worked at McDonald’s years ago and the shake machine was tore down and and thoroughly cleaned at closing and in the morning it was cleaned again and when it was supposedly broke down we were actually cleaning again
This guy (or his keepers) clearly hates fast food and the companies that produce it. I've been eating it for over 50 years and picked out a number of things that are pure BS.
@@roostercogburn3771 Arby's is one. The meat comes in wrapped in plastic full cooked and is heated. The Whopper Jr is another, they are made fresh to order.
Well I currently work at subway in Kansas and we don’t keep anything past its expiration date and we have to make labels for everything we prep that has the date it’s made and the date it will expire plus Tuna sandwiches sale we usually have to prep it frequently so that’s not true for all subways
I have to disagree about the tuna salad. That is my go to order from many different franchises. I am 61 years old. I never ever have gotten sick over many years!
I worked at subway a few times through my adult life in different Maine locations. I will say EVERYTHING is dated when it's prepared like when you cut veggies you HAVE to date the container and EVERY morning we checked the dates and got rid of anything past one or 2 days depending on what it is. Same with bread. The tuna comes in a tinfoil type package and we only keep it for 2 days if we were to keep it longer and management found out we'd be in big trouble. I will vouch 100% subway REALLY is fresh! Everything open, closed, made or cut or uncut ALL have dates... I ate a 6 inch everyday I worked there and when I was dieting and with an app I had and walking I lost 17 pounds in 4 or 5 weeks. Which was my goal. To add to that yes some subs are high in calories but I got turkey on wheat with no cheese and light honey mustard. I prob wouldn't want a 12 inch meatball or tons of cheese and mayo if I was watching what I ate. Common sense ppl. They have all info of the food on the napkins or you can ask or I think it's right on the menu too. Oh they have pamphlets by the door too. We take freshness and cleanliness very serious at subway.
I work at a subway in Canada , and the chicken is never boiled. It is defrosted and then we heated up in the toaster oven. As for your tuna Subs, I've never had a package of tuna last more than one day. In fact we usually go through three cans just during lunch time. So according to former employees, that may have been why they are now called former employees
The McDonald's in Park Falls WI. Is getting worse by the day . An employee went in the men's room and used the toilet , and after coming out he never washed his hands . I made sure a few customers were around when I told the manager . Ordering from this McDonalds , not a good idea .
Forget fast food places, I used to work in an upscale steak house, for fun we would squirt dish soap behind the ovens and grills and watch the thousand of cockroaches come running out, man they really hate dish soap!
Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, McDonald's fries, Subway ham-cheese-and lettuce sandwich (I know it's absolutely crap for you but it's so good), and Culver's burger. (If you don't know what Culver's is it's a burger fast food place in the Midwest US)
Man, that is soooooooo true about McDonalds shakes & ice cream machines. I worked as a manager for McDonalds for 2.5 yrs in a triple A+ suburban store before I was transferred to work in a major city, Chicago, store. The workers in the city store were not taught to about cleaning those machines every night during the closing process. When I indicated that these machines MUST be cleaned they responded that they never had to clean out those machines, much less take them apart. When I looked in the back of the reservoir of the shake machine, it had a six inch mold ring around the top. It also had green slime at the bottom of the basin When I told them to dump out all the cream in that container. They told me that they just kept on filling the shake machine when it needed cream and just put the container in the refrigerator at night without cleaning it. The sundae machine had the same results. After being transferred there, I only worked there for a month. The workers resented me for making them do extra work that should have been normal cleaning routine and maintenance. After working at that store, I NEVER had a McDonalds shake or sundae since and that was back in 1982. As a matter of fact I NEVER order shakes or sundaes from ANY fast food restaurant.
MV Thomas you never alerted the health department, never escalated the issue above the owner to corporate, never tried to make the manager do his/her job...yet you were upset and left? Bullshit.
@@bostonrailfan2427 The head manager didn't do anything about it when I DID mentioned it. The nite staff wanted to as little as possible and go home. I was 21 yo & didn't know about reporting to the health department. I decided to leave after receiving threats on my life from the lazy crew workers. One more thing to let you know, my step-father owned 5 restaurants in the Chicagoland area that i worked at when I was 16yo. So, I knew how to run a restaurant and I worked a top tier McDonald's (suburban) restaurant (company owned). I have receipts to prove my qualifications. If management in a lesser store didn't care and they didn't teach their employees on how to clean properly, why would I stay with that franchise restaurant. So you can drink the kool-aid (shakes) all YOU want...and keep your BS comments yourself...end scene.
I worked at McDonald’s whole in HS back in the 80’s. At closing all machine were broken down. Back in the 90’s I worked at a hospital where people routinely got food poisoning. Once I ordered a chicken salad sandwich which they made with a moldy Croissant. Had the nerve to refuse a refund!
People other things you need to worry about is the cleanliness of the individual that works at these fast food joints I have stories Witness a manager who was outside playing with the dog went into the kitchen we had him come over to the table and told him that we saw him playing with the dog did he wash his hands in which he said no.I would be in the bathroom and a employee came out and didn't wash her hands.I watched on television when they give restaurants grades and a lot of the grades go toward cleanliness and they fail.I even learned that a guy that I know said that he used to work in different eateries and I know I will never let him cook anything I mean anything for me
Nnamdi Mexzy for sure on that . On subject of Arby’s .i worked in Texas making they’re roast beef . Same steps sort of like ground beef exception start off with so much 100% beef so much fat .then phosphates n such mixed .packaged .then shipped off after being frozen which they then put in oven .not like said . Like putting 10 pd roast
That's true that's true fast foods are deadly but I mean you know how far I've I've lived a crazy life you know I do some crazy s*** s*** I mean damn fallback I went riding down the interstate with Frank Fritz hell we've been to the bar before that and for we got in a car and get me some Xanax and then we went riding down the interstate I don't really remember what happened after that
I was eating fast food few times a week during the summer to help businesses. I gained 20lbs in 3 months ,my blood pressure went up as well as cholesterol Duh . I knew better . I stopped being lazy and lost 13 lbs in a month . Never again. Deadly crap .
On one occasion coming from work coworkers and I stopped at a Sonic and this was in Omaha I ordered a breakfast sandwich sausage eggs the works and I got more than I bargained for halfway through the sandwich I run into a wire twist tie from one of their bags in the back for me for bread or whatever else that comes with a twist tie I'm just thankful that I've been into the plastic coating and not the wire itself
@@williambranham6249 i noticed it before lol i was a bit of a chub back then and i noticed my food came up a bit lite so i investigated and there it was a single MC
Arby’s, Taco Bell, Hardee’s, and Kentucky fried chicken... but that’s just fast food around me... And Hardee’s is just because I love their breakfast!!!!
I watched a guy at Panda Express drop the spoon he was serving the orange chicken with, pick it up off the floor then continue to mix and serve the orange chicken with it. I haven't eaten at a Panda Express since and this was yeeears ago.
Unfortunately, you haven't seen the other things that happen behind the scenes at other places. I've seen deli workers in supermarkets not wash their hands after leaving a bathroom stall .
If Subway tuna sandwiches are so susceptible to salmonella, why hasn't Subway been hit with multiple, or at least one, food poisoning cases after years of serving this tasteless sandwich? I mean: don't they serve about a million tuna sandwiches per day?
I worked at Pizza Hut and seen old Pizza and bread sticks be out back into the oven to heat back up and served to customers. Their soda fountain was barely cleaned and was dirty when to me to clean than in which I really cleaned them. Bread sticks precooked and put in plastic bins and heated back up when ordered. I stopped the lady and told her to make new ones. In which I watched her put in new bread sticks.
I use to work at a Subway store that’s located on Kauai years ago and it was a pretty clean restaurant. I actually ate a Subway tuna sandwich less than a week ago and it tasted pretty good. The two things I like about Subways is that the food always looks fresh, and the employees wear gloves when they prepare your meal.
While I don't eat much fast food anymore my list : Whopper chic Fil a, most anything. Hardee's Mushroom burger Pizza Hut Pizza, bacon and ham...sometimes pepperoni Quarter Pounder without cheese with dehydrated ones instead of the gross chopped ones.
Well I guess I'm safe. Almost every food joint you mentioned I quit eating at years ago. Wendy's was the most recent boycott because they changed their meat and fries, which used to be top notch back in the 1980's and before. I used to work at a fast food joint called the Red Barn. A manager once told me that there were two kinds of meat they could order: Fresh and Frozen. That manager wouldn't eat the frozen meat. So where do I dine when I go out for Fast Food? Here they are in order: White Castle, Dairy Queen, and Taco Johns. It's also interesting to note that the reason I'm still eating at these three places, is they're the only ones that don't get into politics, so I'm not supporting or promoting any "special interests or causes" when I eat there.
I recently had a Tuna sub and got really sick within hours....I had left part of it uneaten and when I unwrapped the leftover section noticed it had a foul odor! I initially didn't notice it because it was laced in ranch dressing and was starving at the time....lesson learned!
This just seems like you've never worked in a restaurant..chili with the leftover meat isnt bad at all and the veggie burger where I worked,bk.. never touched anything meat, nor did food sit, but everywhere is different so don't say it's the food but say the location of the shit managers running it
Wrong about the Whopper Junior. The Junior is not sloded as much, so it stays in the heater longer. If you want the Junior fresh asks them to make it fresh. They make 4 to 12 patties at the same time and put them in a heating weel with a kitchen mate timmer. So if you ask for no pickels you're still getting the same pattie no matter what unless you asks for fresh.
so according from "formerly employees" hum formerly, and we are to believe them why. Also Title should be change to ...Fast Food Items that formerly employees say You Should Never Order Under Any Circumstances
I used to work at Arby's doing prep. The meats did not come as a paste. It came in loaves like in a Deli. I had to slice them every day. And they were strict about breaking the slicer down and cleaning in between every thing we sliced.
I was in hospital for a week from food poisoning years back, I had eaten kfc but cannot prove it was that which caused it. I’m vegetarian have been for years now.
Wendy's Chili fact is somewhat true they do use unsold 1/4 pounder beef but it is then boiled & finely chopped before adding to the Chili. This was Dave's big money saver!
I’m a worker at McDonald’s, I can guarantee you 100% of the time the employees call it “broken” when it goes into “cleaning mode”. It’s manually cleaned out so the milk is cleaned out, UNLESS THE MANAGER IS LAZY THEY WILL RESET IT AND KEEP IT SELLING !!!
6:20 hats so bad about that? That's just how beans are made I don't know absolutely may other way to make beans that's how everybody on Mexico makes beans
I worked at Burger King and we threw the chicken fries out after 15 mins but i can say that doesnt mean all employees followed rules as in every large food chain.
The former employees who are interviewed can usually be described as disgruntled former employees. In the 1970's McDonalds disposed of food on the heat tables after seven minutes in Dallas TX.
I use to clean a Sonic ice cream machine every 2 weeks for years. The picture you seen was a grease scraper from the augers. Nasty stuff! Doesn't touch the ice cream in the machine. We would clean the whole machine with a hot water hose. I'm a very sanitary person. But watching the other cooks unsanitary acts in the drive in is a whole another story! This of course is by location. Not nation wide. I would hope so I mean.
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 An auger in the ice cream machine is what pulls the ice cream towards the lever. It has plastic scraper looking things that spin around the cylinder and are lubricated with a food safe grease. The excess grease gets caught in the moldy looking tray that was shown in the video. The unsanitary acts I've seen when I worked at Sonic was employees never washing hands, touching raw foods then dressing burgers, unsafe food temps, using dirty rags to wipe down food contact surfaces that were used to clean bathrooms taken right out of the dirty rag bin when they ran out of fresh rags, etc. And thank you for pointing out my bad punctuation. I'm usually drinking when I comment on here. Just like I am now.
Rypie we did same thing with Wendy’s about every threes we use to clean like that. Now I won’t even touch em. At one time all saw all the employees out there smoking in the parking lot went to order a drink through the drive thru just to piss them off they didn’t even wash there hands seeing through the window. They went straight to the counter. I threw my drink out at the end of the drive thru
I work at a Wendy's... Now I'm sure other stores use almost all "old" meat to make the chilli as we do sometimes, but saying old makes it sound really bad.. The burgers used for chilli are probably not older than 20 min.. Our store is very busy and is top rated for our district. We pride ourselves on freshness, friendliness, and cleanliness.. Because we are so busy our burger patties on average never sit for more than 10 minutes before being sold, so most the time we have to cook meat fresh just to be able to have it for the chilli.. Also keep in mind our burger comes in fresh and not frozen, so it's impossible for it to age before it's cooked... Also I wanted to add,,,, I can't even believe the milkshake and icecream machines at other restaurants are only cleaned once in a while.. It is company procedure at Wendy's to completely disassemble, clean, and sanitize our frosty machines and parts twice a day....
Lolz i met employees who work in hot dogs /chicken nuggets factories and some resturants they their selves dont eat their factories/resturants products and say it clearly .
@@FactsVerse nope and already started to make my own home made burger with fries and whatever else i can home make , the ideas it self makes oneself disgusted even if these claimes were wrong the psycological element is active .
Nancy O'Malley That’s exactly what I was thinking. I usually get Tuna from Subway and NEVER have gotten sick. Even on road trips that’s what we eat and none of us ever got sick from it
So true. I am wary of fast food but I always get the tuna there. The employees show me the date made and the date to toss. Once I went in around 9ish and they were dumping the last of the tuna so I got something else. This is baloney!
I haven’t been for a while, but whenever I go to Subway, I always get the Tuna Sub and the Tuna has never been anything but fresh and I’ve never gotten sick from eating it. Also, whenever I go to McDonald’s, I always order the Fish Filet sandwich and if I want them to make a new sandwich then I just ask them for a full slice of cheese on mine.
"According to a former employee" is the reasoning for not buying most of the food items covered in this video. So, one unhappy former employee is reason not to buy fast food from an entire chain. What kind of logic is that? Sounds like the makers of this video should be taken to court!!!
As having been " a former employee " more than once in my working life that was the first thing that I thought of also. I guess that "Facts Verse" is not very Factual at all!!! I bet the person who wrote this video might have been " a former employee " of at least one of the places mentioned?
Thank you so much for that Vital information. A lot of common sense comes to play as well. As you know when you walk in the door, again as you stated. Foods. They don't throw it away. They make an abundance then they let it sit. The only place that I like is Popeye's Chicken. I love McDonald's fish sandwich as well. But as you said, it is dumped in grease. I just bought a deep fryer, so I can make my own fish sandwich. But thank you again for that very important information!!! I just passed it on to members of my family. Sharon, in the DMV area.
I read last week that in England their food agency determined that Subway bread could no longer be classified as bread because it had too many grams of carbohydrates . It fall more into the cake category. Most of the carbs come from sugar.
The stuff said in this video about the chicken fries and the whopper jr... These items DO NOT sit under a heat lamp for hours. The maximum hold time is 30 mins for the burgers and 20 mins for the chicken fries and the burgers are not put together ahead of time. They are made when ordered. The B.K at which I am a current employee doesn't even cook the chicken fries until they are ordered and the hold times are adhere to strictly. Besides, the store is so busy the food items don't have time to sit around. Just my two cents...
what happens is, when a new one opens, naturally it will be good cuz all the equipment is new...give it about a month....from that point on, all the cooked food will taste horrible just like all the other places because the people who work there don't care enough to clean the equipment right....they don't wanna work, they're just a bunch of dumbass kids who only wanna get paid and go home
After working at McDonald’s I’ll never work there again! I always try highly to avoid them too... as a former arbys employee I can tell you the “roast beef” is a bag of ground beef that’s cooked then sliced
Almost all appear to be from an "employee" from one of several franchises. Could be disgruntled employee, and a single franchise is not indicative of the entire chain. But worth taking into consideration
Arby’s does not use paste. Just because one person who claims to have worked there and claims it’s true doesn’t mean it is. McDonald’s ice cream machines don’t break down all the time, they’re actually getting cleaned.
I agree about Arby's 100%,but unfortunately McDonald's ice cream machines do constantly breakdown.We drive up to the windows all the time and they will have paper signs on windows ice cream machine is down.lol.😥
Years ago I worked at hardees. If your fish is broken in 2 halves. That means one of the halves was dropped on the floor! Always check your fish sandwich and ask for your money back if it's in 2 pieces!
I work in restaurants for 30 years the last 10 years I've been a GM. There is a lot of Truth to what's being said and then there isn't. It really comes down to the staff in the management in that restaurant. There are some McDonald's that are just ridiculously clean, and there's ones that aren't. Doesn't matter if it's a mom and pops or a corporate chain store. Trust me when I say it all comes down to the management staff and the employees.
I agree with you as I have delivered to many food chains
Only McDonalds fit to eat at is one with a lot of Spanish Employees.. I'm not Spanish, but I respect people that take pride in whatever they do..
100% correct 👌🏾 it's not the place it's the people.

Hopefully the same for their turkey and chix sandwiches.

Hi Colleen. Like you, I worked in a McD's for several years. Their timers were garbage; they were just reset and nobody checking would know the difference. However, the times that I was cooking (I worked only a few hours), I'd slightly undercook the eggs, or try to. I knew they'd finish cooking in the holding bins prior to making the sandw. However, the evening cleaning seemed to be a joke. Times I went by for one reason or another, everybody seemed to be on the outside, or back of the kitchen, having a good time. To this day, if and when I eat there breakfast time, I ask for a muffin egg on whatever bread I'm having, with no sce . I don't like the sce, but the main reason is that, more so than the folded eggs, one can tell right away if it's old or not. If you like the sce, get it on the side.
I worked.at.jack.in.the.box.in.1981_1982 and.the.manager picked.up lettuce.off.the.floor and put it back.in the.salad
I love the term "a former employee said". Maybe they were pissed that they were fired...
Tom Clark thats all I heard 😂
i worked at an arbys that is false statement what he is saying,
lisa beasley did you get fired too? Lol 😋
You make a valid point. We can't tell as sometimes the "former employee" wants to let the public know what goes / wemt on there.
True I worked at arbys a yr now I own a Hvac company while yall are restarauntees
I worked for Subway for years and we never kept Tuna beyond dates.
I also worked in Subway and I love those sandwiches! Never used expired meat or tuna and always washed the containers.
That is true on the Taco Bell beans. However, they are just dehydrated beans. Nothing wrong with that
"Oh, look , it's Death, ............ ,what do you want?."
" The tuna sandwich, ...Now come with me!!!".
"Oh, yes, that tuna sand wich, I understand. "
I work at sonic...and I can confirm that my location and the surrounding one's train thoroughly on all stations, and our ice cream machine gets properly cleaned regularly... in fact, when carhops are hired, they're first trained exclusively on drinks and ice cream.
On the topic of the cross contamination, and as someone with a food allergy, you learn that you run the risk of cross contamination at every single restaurant you eat at...it's just a fact of life...however, and I don't speak for all locations, but our restaurant is kept in immaculate conditions.
Sonic is super clean, don't believe that story
I worked at sonic drive inn for 4 yrs. We cleaned the ice cream machine twice weekly. We had to wash and sanitize our hands every 15 minutes. It was extremely clean inside and outside the store. This was from 2002-2006. Hopefully it’s still the same.
We have a Sonic here that has to be the cream of the crop..when you get a burger from them, its so juicy and fresh that when you bite into it, it literally MELTS in your mouth....OMG its unbelievable..why can't EVERYBODY make burgers like that?....and you can't get those kind at just ANY Sonic either...you have to go to the one here in town on a certain corner....man i could eat lunch there EVERY DAY and never get tired of it
Y'all have the worst hamburgers ever🤢
There's a Sonic in a county near mine. They got shut down by the Health Department, for being too filthy. Other than that, they were probably good.
Husband spent decades as a sales rep to restaurants and, while the details in your video are true, restaurants-even expensive ones-are no different. If you really want to know about your food-stay home, sharpen your own cooking skills.
If you can try to grow some of the plant based ingredients
That is not true. That crap is not real food. Ever since the first one popped up, people started getting sick and fat. Even your average child is now fat.
thats definitely the best way to get FRESH COOKED FOOD....do it yourself....mcdonalds will never produce a burger like the ones i cook at home

True...
Remember when going to your local fast food place. They generally hire teenagers. Think about what a teenager's bedroom and bathroom look like. Exactly. They wouldn't know hygen if it slapped them in the selfie.
thelilacmum exactly
This is a stereotypical and unfounded statement. To say restaurants generally hire teens is a hasty generalization, and so is it to say that a teenager's hygienic practices or lack thereof correlate with his/her work practices.
@@TRahjey Hardly a generalization. I have frequented about 8 fast food restaurants in my town for the last 9 years. The majority of the employees are teenagers. I went to Chic Filet today. I didn't meet anyone over age 20 helping me with my order. A person who has poor hygiene in their personal life doesn't develop good hygiene wen they walk behind a counter at Mc Donalds.
The Burger King chicken does not sit around all day. I worked there all through high school and depending on the time of the day (busy or not), we would only cook the amount needed. It did sit under a heat lamp, but not for long. Same with the Whopper jr. Those are the same patties and buns used for their smaller sandwiches, so they're never sitting around.
Only thing I disagree with is that butter does not necessarily need to be refrigerated. AS long as it is not abnormally heated, room temp butter lasts a long time.
This is exactly the kind of misinformation that fuels a lot of rumors and lies. Not to say that it's not true but blanket statements are almost always inaccurate. Just because a restaurant does something unsavory doesn't mean that every establishment in the chain does the same. It seems that the problem at these places is poor management.
Well said. Nobody will ever listen though. The world these days is fueled by drama and bullshit from parents and kids alike.

I work at McDonalds that is a franchise location and our owner is big about keeping everything super clean all the time. Our ice cream machine gets cleaned every couple days and is drained of all milk and ice cream before being cleaned.
That's great to hear. Beyond food quality - cleanliness is essential and great customer service. Sounds like your experience was very positive and I am sure the owner is very successful.

Well DUH!
Worst. Video. Ever. “According to a former employee...”. Great research folks. Sensationalist tripe.
Best comment on the page, n saved me typing it! 😉
Not sure about the rest of the fast food places this video talked about. I use to work at mcDonalds as an opener which is the person who tears down the shake machines and sanitizes it completely running it through for 15 minutes then rinsing it before assembling it and prepping it with the bags of icecream mix
My mother worked at an Arby's in Bloomington Indiana and her location served real roast beef she was the one responsible for cutting the meat to the appropriate size with a meat slicer
My daughter worked at Arby's for a few months in her first year of college. She was impressed that they used real roast beef and shocked lol
Yep, I worked at an Arbys for almost 7 years. The beef is real, cooked throughout the day according to hourly sales and always sliced fresh when you order your sandwich. All other meats and produce is sliced fresh every morning according to that days projected sales.
When I worked at Burger King we had to clean the milk shake machine every night.
You guys are starting to reach with these videos. I'll eat most of the things you covered, and I'm an exercise nut. Matter of fact, I'll go 2 or 3 deep on the McRib. Same for filet-o-fish.
Arby’s isn’t true! I work there and we get actual roasts bagged and cut to order!
Bless your truthful heart Gina ❤️
Gina Sarconi I'm so glad to hear that! Arby's roast beef is a fast food that I do like.
Kyle V you are welcome! Idk why some people feel the need to lie 🙄🙄
Same!! I worked there for 2 years and I was like that is not true at all
Makiya.A9598 right people just want a story to tell 😂😂 I love working there
I question some of the “facts” presented by the former employees. These chains must follow federal and state food safety laws. Some of these allegations would make people deathly sick if true.
If you're in good health and eat something slightly old, etc., you most likely won't get sick. Or won't think it's from the food anyway (meaning feeling a bit off). The chains, granted, must follow gov't food safety guidelines, but that doesn't mean they do constantly. Many are told when investigators, from the company or gov't, are coming. I'm not saying this is across the board, which it's not. Many I've seen are extremely good with sanitation & food safety, but you never know which ones are and aren't. (I've worked my life in food service, to let you know where I'm coming from)
You also can't graffiti and smoke crack, but people do it anyway. Anyway, I'm not saying this validate or not the "facts".
yeh like the comment KFC chicken "some of it may have been dropped on the floor" that wasn't even a fact but like an opinion
It does happen more than we think. Most people who get sick don't report it. Fortunately they survive.
Here in Austin, there is a little hamburger stand called Sandy's near downtown. It sits next to a whataburger. The ice cream is made with real custard and beats any chain hands down. Sandy's has been there since the 1940s and from what I can tell, they have not changed a thing.
Sandy's and Home Slice are the ONLY two things I miss in Austin..
I used to work for Arby's what you said is untrue, it's a roast put into a bag. That bag is then put into an oven with a thermometer. Then sliced finely!. It's not practical board, not bit peices, some places may do it that way. But we never did....
don't ever ever complain to the staff and ask for a new order you may get a hocker in your food just ask for money back
There this is one thing I learnt when I 16 years old I used to work at Western Sizzlin my buddy cooked he was pretty much a badass and some dude gotten his face when I told him how how shity he made a steak he said well, okay I'll make you another one well I'll come by and I seen my buddy and he's like looked look at my feet I'm like what the f*** are you doing our floor was Gracie and he was standing on a on the steak he says this is that guy's steak that was complaining to me
Bottom line everytime you eat out your taking risks,stay home and cook. Also if you have to or prefer to eat out,use common sense and don't be lazy. I for one never do drive thru, Rain, snow or shine I gotta go inside & I watch as they prepare my food & also go doing the rush hr so you lesson ur chance of getting sick like 12:00 or 5 when there's alotta turn over so ur food doesn't have a chance to sit & must be made fresh. Also helpful hint,most fastfood restaurants has surveys on there receipt where you can get free food for doing a 5 min survey 👌🏾😋
He is such a lier. McDonald's cleaned the machine every night. I leave my butter out so when I put it on bread the bread doesn't break. Meat paste what a lie.
I'd be willing to bet that OUR McDonalds doesn't....when you get a burger from them, its like eating cardboard
@@flyboysteven9979 where is your burger from mine is from Cape Cod MA the owns 13 of them I been to a few the burgers are good & fresh.
@@flyboysteven9979 stay away from fast food outlets.
I used to let people know "I worked at Arby's, and the 'Roast Beef' comes as two cans labeled Part A and Part B. One is a liquid, one is a powder and you blend them together then let set for an hour, before baking." People were grossed out. I never worked at Arby's.
@@CaesarCapone I worked at Arby's for a couple weeks in San Antonio Texas on the military base. The roast beef doesn't come that way. But that was funny if people believe you. Lol They did make a good sandwich the milkshakes were good also. Like anything else if you eat it all the time it probably won't taste good.
I remember when I got my first job at KFC I was in training they had me preparing grilled chicken and making regular chicken let me tell you this the first day working there it smelt so bad in that kitchen and the griller machine looked like it hasn't been cleaned In years i was shocked what I was seeing I quit the next day
I worked at McDonald’s years ago and the shake machine was tore down and and thoroughly cleaned at closing and in the morning it was cleaned again and when it was supposedly broke down we were actually cleaning again
Only one i know about is taco bell beans . They do come dried in a bag. Bunt hot water and sit 3 or 4 at a time. Still tasty 😁
This guy (or his keepers) clearly hates fast food and the companies that produce it. I've been eating it for over 50 years and picked out a number of things that are pure BS.
Well, it would help if you would share with us, that which is "pure BS".
@@roostercogburn3771 Arby's is one. The meat comes in wrapped in plastic full cooked and is heated. The Whopper Jr is another, they are made fresh to order.
Here's my list of 4. Taco Bells Doritos Taco, Wendy Spicy Chicken Sandwich w/cheese, Papa Johns Cheese and Sausage Pizza and Mc Ribs from Mc Donalds.
Well I currently work at subway in Kansas and we don’t keep anything past its expiration date and we have to make labels for everything we prep that has the date it’s made and the date it will expire plus Tuna sandwiches sale we usually have to prep it frequently so that’s not true for all subways
Love Subway 😋😋
Do you always take the word of disgruntled former employees? Lots of hearsay and opinions here.
Facts Verse...“According to a former employee” is clickbait.
I have to disagree about the tuna salad. That is my go to order from many different franchises. I am 61 years old. I never ever have gotten sick over many years!
I always question comments expressed by "former employees".
I worked at subway a few times through my adult life in different Maine locations. I will say EVERYTHING is dated when it's prepared like when you cut veggies you HAVE to date the container and EVERY morning we checked the dates and got rid of anything past one or 2 days depending on what it is. Same with bread. The tuna comes in a tinfoil type package and we only keep it for 2 days if we were to keep it longer and management found out we'd be in big trouble. I will vouch 100% subway REALLY is fresh! Everything open, closed, made or cut or uncut ALL have dates... I ate a 6 inch everyday I worked there and when I was dieting and with an app I had and walking I lost 17 pounds in 4 or 5 weeks. Which was my goal.
To add to that yes some subs are high in calories but I got turkey on wheat with no cheese and light honey mustard. I prob wouldn't want a 12 inch meatball or tons of cheese and mayo if I was watching what I ate. Common sense ppl. They have all info of the food on the napkins or you can ask or I think it's right on the menu too. Oh they have pamphlets by the door too. We take freshness and cleanliness very serious at subway.
the subway bread is nasty 🤮🤮🤮
Eat at Costco food court!! They are immaculately clean always.
Not NOW 😷😷😷
I work at a subway in Canada , and the chicken is never boiled. It is defrosted and then we heated up in the toaster oven. As for your tuna Subs, I've never had a package of tuna last more than one day. In fact we usually go through three cans just during lunch time. So according to former employees, that may have been why they are now called former employees
Starbucks doesnt claim their food is fresh. I mean, you can clearly see them removing it from the plastic bag and putting it in a microwave.. 🙄
We love subway tuna salad. So much better than mine, no matter how I make it. Never made us sick, and veggies are so fresh and crisp .
I’ve eaten Subway Tuna many, many times. Never got sick
The McDonald's in Park Falls WI. Is getting worse by the day . An employee went in the men's room and used the toilet , and after coming out he never washed his hands . I made sure a few customers were around when I told the manager . Ordering from this McDonalds , not a good idea .
Forget fast food places, I used to work in an upscale steak house, for fun we would squirt dish soap behind the ovens and grills and watch the thousand of cockroaches come running out, man they really hate dish soap!
if you have cockroches in your kitchen, then you arent cleaning properly!
I'm pretty sure the health dept. inspection found them. Thousands?
Well I didn’t actually count them, may have only been 999 of them
Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, McDonald's fries, Subway ham-cheese-and lettuce sandwich (I know it's absolutely crap for you but it's so good), and Culver's burger. (If you don't know what Culver's is it's a burger fast food place in the Midwest US)
Man, that is soooooooo true about McDonalds shakes & ice cream machines. I worked as a manager for McDonalds for 2.5 yrs in a triple A+ suburban store before I was transferred to work in a major city, Chicago, store. The workers in the city store were not taught to about cleaning those machines every night during the closing process. When I indicated that these machines MUST be cleaned they responded that they never had to clean out those machines, much less take them apart. When I looked in the back of the reservoir of the shake machine, it had a six inch mold ring around the top. It also had green slime at the bottom of the basin When I told them to dump out all the cream in that container. They told me that they just kept on filling the shake machine when it needed cream and just put the container in the refrigerator at night without cleaning it. The sundae machine had the same results. After being transferred there, I only worked there for a month. The workers resented me for making them do extra work that should have been normal cleaning routine and maintenance. After working at that store, I NEVER had a McDonalds shake or sundae since and that was back in 1982. As a matter of fact I NEVER order shakes or sundaes from ANY fast food restaurant.
MV Thomas you never alerted the health department, never escalated the issue above the owner to corporate, never tried to make the manager do his/her job...yet you were upset and left?
Bullshit.
@@bostonrailfan2427 The head manager didn't do anything about it when I DID mentioned it. The nite staff wanted to as little as possible and go home. I was 21 yo & didn't know about reporting to the health department. I decided to leave after receiving threats on my life from the lazy crew workers. One more thing to let you know, my step-father owned 5 restaurants in the Chicagoland area that i worked at when I was 16yo. So, I knew how to run a restaurant and I worked a top tier McDonald's (suburban) restaurant (company owned). I have receipts to prove my qualifications. If management in a lesser store didn't care and they didn't teach their employees on how to clean properly, why would I stay with that franchise restaurant. So you can drink the kool-aid (shakes) all YOU want...and keep your BS comments yourself...end scene.

I worked at McDonald’s whole in HS back in the 80’s. At closing all machine were broken down. Back in the 90’s I worked at a hospital where people routinely got food poisoning. Once I ordered a chicken salad sandwich which they made with a moldy Croissant. Had the nerve to refuse a refund!
People other things you need to worry about is the cleanliness of the individual that works at these fast food joints I have stories Witness a manager who was outside playing with the dog went into the kitchen we had him come over to the table and told him that we saw him playing with the dog did he wash his hands in which he said no.I would be in the bathroom and a employee came out and didn't wash her hands.I watched on television when they give restaurants grades and a lot of the grades go toward cleanliness and they fail.I even learned that a guy that I know said that he used to work in different eateries and I know I will never let him cook anything I mean anything for me
Best advice, stay away from fast foods!
Nnamdi Mexzy for sure on that . On subject of Arby’s .i worked in Texas making they’re roast beef . Same steps sort of like ground beef exception start off with so much 100% beef so much fat .then phosphates n such mixed .packaged .then shipped off after being frozen which they then put in oven .not like said . Like putting 10 pd roast

I watched a guy at Panda Express drop the spoon he was serving the orange chicken with, pick it up off the floor then continue to mix and serve the orange chicken with it. I haven't eaten at a Panda Express since and this was yeeears ago.
Unfortunately, you haven't seen the other things that happen behind the scenes at other places. I've seen deli workers in supermarkets not wash their hands after leaving a bathroom stall .
If Subway tuna sandwiches are so susceptible to salmonella, why hasn't Subway been hit with multiple, or at least one, food poisoning cases after years of serving this tasteless sandwich? I mean: don't they serve about a million tuna sandwiches per day?
My father used to clean McDonald’s he said it was super clean
I worked at Pizza Hut and seen old Pizza and bread sticks be out back into the oven to heat back up and served to customers. Their soda fountain was barely cleaned and was dirty when to me to clean than in which I really cleaned them. Bread sticks precooked and put in plastic bins and heated back up when ordered. I stopped the lady and told her to make new ones. In which I watched her put in new bread sticks.
Most food in fast food restaurants are very high in calories..Nothing is "Real" Anymore....
I use to work at a Subway store that’s located on Kauai years ago and it was a pretty clean restaurant. I actually ate a Subway tuna sandwich less than a week ago and it tasted pretty good. The two things I like about Subways is that the food always looks fresh, and the employees wear gloves when they prepare your meal.
All I'm hearing is - a former employee, a former employee, a former employee - sour grapes from someone that was sacked!
While I don't eat much fast food anymore my list :
Whopper

Hardee's Mushroom burger
Pizza Hut Pizza, bacon and ham...sometimes pepperoni
Quarter Pounder without cheese with dehydrated ones instead of the gross chopped ones.
That not true I worked at a WENDYS IN SOIUX CITY, IOWA FOR 13-14 YEARS OUR CHILI HAMBURGERS & SO ON ARE FRESH AND GOOD.
That was 14 years ago things might have changed by then
Well I guess I'm safe. Almost every food joint you mentioned I quit eating at years ago. Wendy's was the most recent boycott because they changed their meat and fries, which used to be top notch back in the 1980's and before. I used to work at a fast food joint called the Red Barn. A manager once told me that there were two kinds of meat they could order: Fresh and Frozen. That manager wouldn't eat the frozen meat. So where do I dine when I go out for Fast Food? Here they are in order: White Castle, Dairy Queen, and Taco Johns. It's also interesting to note that the reason I'm still eating at these three places, is they're the only ones that don't get into politics, so I'm not supporting or promoting any "special interests or causes" when I eat there.
Thanks for sharing! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse I donno. I'll have to look over the rest of your videos and see what else you've got.
As a former employee of Arby's from southern Ohio I can say that their meat is not made as stated in this video . That's a lie.
I find that Facts Verse is far too often, not particularly factual!
Plus thair is a little wiggly room with expression dates
The Best FF Fish Sandwich I've had is Arbys..On Their 2 for $6.00 Menu..👍
The Starbucks information was true, I don’t know about all the other stuff.
I recently had a Tuna sub and got really sick within hours....I had left part of it uneaten and when I unwrapped the leftover section noticed it had a foul odor! I initially didn't notice it because it was laced in ranch dressing and was starving at the time....lesson learned!
This just seems like you've never worked in a restaurant..chili with the leftover meat isnt bad at all and the veggie burger where I worked,bk.. never touched anything meat, nor did food sit, but everywhere is different so don't say it's the food but say the location of the shit managers running it
AGREED!
I know that Wendy’s use hamburger meat. So what ?
Wrong about the Whopper Junior. The Junior is not sloded as much, so it stays in the heater longer. If you want the Junior fresh asks them to make it fresh. They make 4 to 12 patties at the same time and put them in a heating weel with a kitchen mate timmer. So if you ask for no pickels you're still getting the same pattie no matter what unless you asks for fresh.
Thanks for sharing this, Ryan!
so according from "formerly employees" hum formerly, and we are to believe them why. Also Title should be change to ...Fast Food Items that formerly employees say You Should Never Order Under Any Circumstances
I used to work at Arby's doing prep. The meats did not come as a paste. It came in loaves like in a Deli. I had to slice them every day. And they were strict about breaking the slicer down and cleaning in between every thing we sliced.
I was in hospital for a week from food poisoning years back, I had eaten kfc but cannot prove it was that which caused it. I’m vegetarian have been for years now.
Good job on staying vegetarian for so long. I tried and felt great doing it but got health problems from it. 😀😀
prolly got it from the hospitial!!!
Wendy's Chili fact is somewhat true they do use unsold 1/4 pounder beef but it is then boiled & finely chopped before adding to the Chili. This was Dave's big money saver!
I’m a worker at McDonald’s, I can guarantee you 100% of the time the employees call it “broken” when it goes into “cleaning mode”. It’s manually cleaned out so the milk is cleaned out, UNLESS THE MANAGER IS LAZY THEY WILL RESET IT AND KEEP IT SELLING !!!
my son who was a manager at mcds. told me that ice cream machine gets cleaned once a week
Stella Rebello this guy gets it
6:20 hats so bad about that? That's just how beans are made I don't know absolutely may other way to make beans that's how everybody on Mexico makes beans
Thanks for sharing this, Ajax
I worked at Burger King and we threw the chicken fries out after 15 mins but i can say that doesnt mean all employees followed rules as in every large food chain.
The former employees who are interviewed can usually be described as disgruntled former employees. In the 1970's McDonalds disposed of food on the heat tables after seven minutes in Dallas TX.
I use to clean a Sonic ice cream machine every 2 weeks for years. The picture you seen was a grease scraper from the augers. Nasty stuff! Doesn't touch the ice cream in the machine. We would clean the whole machine with a hot water hose. I'm a very sanitary person. But watching the other cooks unsanitary acts in the drive in is a whole another story! This of course is by location. Not nation wide. I would hope so I mean.
a whole other not a whole another what's an auger?? what are unsanitary acts in the drive in? what does that mean?
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 An auger in the ice cream machine is what pulls the ice cream towards the lever. It has plastic scraper looking things that spin around the cylinder and are lubricated with a food safe grease. The excess grease gets caught in the moldy looking tray that was shown in the video. The unsanitary acts I've seen when I worked at Sonic was employees never washing hands, touching raw foods then dressing burgers, unsafe food temps, using dirty rags to wipe down food contact surfaces that were used to clean bathrooms taken right out of the dirty rag bin when they ran out of fresh rags, etc. And thank you for pointing out my bad punctuation. I'm usually drinking when I comment on here. Just like I am now.
@@Rypie89 mahalo!!
Rypie we did same thing with Wendy’s about every threes we use to clean like that. Now I won’t even touch em. At one time all saw all the employees out there smoking in the parking lot went to order a drink through the drive thru just to piss them off they didn’t even wash there hands seeing through the window. They went straight to the counter. I threw my drink out at the end of the drive thru
@@chantelgaskins368 That is disgusting! It doesn't take much to wash your hands for 20 seconds! After I quit their hand soap costs went down lol!
I work at a Wendy's... Now I'm sure other stores use almost all "old" meat to make the chilli as we do sometimes, but saying old makes it sound really bad.. The burgers used for chilli are probably not older than 20 min.. Our store is very busy and is top rated for our district. We pride ourselves on freshness, friendliness, and cleanliness.. Because we are so busy our burger patties on average never sit for more than 10 minutes before being sold, so most the time we have to cook meat fresh just to be able to have it for the chilli.. Also keep in mind our burger comes in fresh and not frozen, so it's impossible for it to age before it's cooked... Also I wanted to add,,,, I can't even believe the milkshake and icecream machines at other restaurants are only cleaned once in a while.. It is company procedure at Wendy's to completely disassemble, clean, and sanitize our frosty machines and parts twice a day....
I would trust former owners over former employees.....there is a reason why they are called former employees! Food for thought.
Lolz i met employees who work in hot dogs /chicken nuggets factories and some resturants they their selves dont eat their factories/resturants products and say it clearly .
Good point! Do you still eat at these restaurants?
@@FactsVerse nope and already started to make my own home made burger with fries and whatever else i can home make , the ideas it self makes oneself disgusted even if these claimes were wrong the psycological element is active .
If the story about Subway's tuna salad were true, there would have been well publicized reports of salmonella outbreaks
Nancy O'Malley That’s exactly what I was thinking. I usually get Tuna from Subway and NEVER have gotten sick. Even on road trips that’s what we eat and none of us ever got sick from it
@@Iris-zq5mq These 'stories' are just lies spread by disgruntled employees who were fired most likely for bad behavior
So true. I am wary of fast food but I always get the tuna there. The employees show me the date made and the date to toss. Once I went in around 9ish and they were dumping the last of the tuna so I got something else. This is baloney!
I haven’t been for a while, but whenever I go to Subway, I always get the Tuna Sub and the Tuna has never been anything but fresh and I’ve never gotten sick from eating it.
Also, whenever I go to McDonald’s, I always order the Fish Filet sandwich and if I want them to make a new sandwich then I just ask them for a full slice of cheese on mine.
"According to a former employee" is the reasoning for not buying most of the food items covered in this video. So, one unhappy former employee is reason not to buy fast food from an entire chain. What kind of logic is that? Sounds like the makers of this video should be taken to court!!!
As having been " a former employee " more than once in my working life that was the first thing that I thought of also. I guess that "Facts Verse" is not very Factual at all!!! I bet the person who wrote this video might have been " a former employee " of at least one of the places mentioned?
Thank you so much for that Vital information. A lot of common sense comes to play as well. As you know when you walk in the door, again as you stated. Foods. They don't throw it away. They make an abundance then they let it sit. The only place that I like is Popeye's Chicken. I love McDonald's fish sandwich as well. But as you said, it is dumped in grease. I just bought a deep fryer, so I can make my own fish sandwich. But thank you again for that very important information!!! I just passed it on to members of my family. Sharon, in the DMV area.
If you go to an Arby's, you can see the slicer slicing the roast beef in the kitchen, and the roast on the machine does not look like reformed past.
McDonald's fries are still the best. When they're really busy the fries are in and out of the fryer.
I always ask em to over cook mine a lil so my fries are always fresh 👌🏾 & I never do drive thru 🙅🏾♂️I have to see them prepare my food
I read last week that in England their food agency determined that Subway bread could no longer be classified as bread because it had too many grams of carbohydrates . It fall more into the cake category. Most of the carbs come from sugar.
Mc Donalds employees gave me a shake and laughed while doing it , had a sludge like taste to it !
They handed you some food while laughing and u still ate it🤔🙄
The stuff said in this video about the chicken fries and the whopper jr...
These items DO NOT sit under a heat lamp for hours. The maximum hold time is 30 mins for the burgers and 20 mins for the chicken fries and the burgers are not put together ahead of time. They are made when ordered.
The B.K at which I am a current employee doesn't even cook the chicken fries until they are ordered and the hold times are adhere to strictly. Besides, the store is so busy the food items don't have time to sit around.
Just my two cents...
the quality will always fluctuate with every franchise..."facts verse" is anything but factual talk about misleading ...
what happens is, when a new one opens, naturally it will be good cuz all the equipment is new...give it about a month....from that point on, all the cooked food will taste horrible just like all the other places because the people who work there don't care enough to clean the equipment right....they don't wanna work, they're just a bunch of dumbass kids who only wanna get paid and go home
After working at McDonald’s I’ll never work there again! I always try highly to avoid them too... as a former arbys employee I can tell you the “roast beef” is a bag of ground beef that’s cooked then sliced
Yes, I worked for them too.
You Are Wrong When I Worked For McDonald's We Cleaned The Milkshake Machine Every Night.
I remember when Arby;s first opened in Waco in the mid 1960's , they didn't use "chunk form" roast.
"Don't order a chicken sandwich from a place that specializes in burgers" [while showing 2 images of Popeye's chicken sandwiches]
Almost all appear to be from an "employee" from one of several franchises. Could be disgruntled employee, and a single franchise is not indicative of the entire chain. But worth taking into consideration
Arby’s does not use paste. Just because one person who claims to have worked there and claims it’s true doesn’t mean it is. McDonald’s ice cream machines don’t break down all the time, they’re actually getting cleaned.
I agree about Arby's 100%,but unfortunately McDonald's ice cream machines do constantly breakdown.We drive up to the windows all the time and they will have paper signs on windows ice cream machine is down.lol.😥
I agree! I used to work for Arby’s and they do not use paste at all.
It is not paste but it is pressure formed.
Years ago I worked at hardees. If your fish is broken in 2 halves. That means one of the halves was dropped on the floor! Always check your fish sandwich and ask for your money back if it's in 2 pieces!
