McDonalds abused me

[Aislin]

No, not really, needed to get you into the thread. But I was thinking about how to abuse poor McDonald's employees. Here you go!


McDonalds.
Option 1:
Walk in with a ski mask and a water pistol (you know, the really crappy ones you get for 50 cents) and a leather bag.
“Put all the free smiles in the bag! DO IT! DO IT NOW!”
If some guy starts laughing squirt him in the eye.


Option 2:
Drive through asking for a smile. They might think it’s funny… for two minutes. But when you’re on your eleventh hour, I really doubt they will. If you run out of gas, leave your car, knock on the window and say “I just gotta run to the gas station, I’ll be ten minutes tops.”


And if you're really out for the teenage punks, why not drop by another restaurant... say... taco bell?

“Hey, uh… I’ll get… twenty of those taco supremes.”
“Alright, that’s 26.45.”
*pulls change out of pocket*
“3.45, I guess that’s not enough, eh? ...Oh, and your friends are half done... damn."

Yeah, that's something I thought up for the second half of my report. If it's similar to something you thought up, I really honestly didn't steal it. Jesus.

:trout: i hate Mickey D's anyways, i used to work there.......they give rotting meat, so i will never work or eat there again.....

aislin....THAT WAS my ESSAY you stole...i want it back PRONto!!!

notice how pronto has pr0n in it?? clever ploy huh ;)

[senocular]

I used to work there too :)

I was a beastly runner. But the fry station was my favorite. Good times hehe. Everything was fine at mine though. We actually did like best sales in the east one week or something like that. It was mighty impressive.

We also got robbed at gun-point once (I wasnt there) a manager got beaned on the head and knocked out and they cleaned out the safe. narsty.

Of course I never eat there now (well like once in the past year or 2). Arbys is my current favorite for fast food. :beam:

[Jubba]

I am a manager at a McDonalds. If I ever see you in mine I will trout-slap you silly

:trout: :trout: :trout:

[Guig0]

Can you get me free fries? :P

[Aislin]

I dunno if it's the same in the U.S., but here every employee gets a 50% discount card. My friend has one, but I never bother.

[Aislin]

Oh, and my fast food place is Taco Bell, until someone tells me they sell rotten meat, or make chilli like burger king does (expired meat//whatever they drop on the floor or screw up)

I always ate free... at least at the one I worked at. I think at other ones I got like 25 or 50% off. Not sure, I never ate anywhere else but there (it WAS FREE!). Ive eaten so many double quater pounders its not funny (most of the reason I dont eat there anymore).

I also did the pizza-hut thing (Mmmmm pizza) and they gave 20% off when you showed them a paystub. That was decent though (of course I got free pizzas at mine ;)). That was half the perk of working there - well most actually. That and the cash. I was a driver in delivery and I only worked friday nights and weekends (whenever they needed me) and I could make probably around $200 cash in a weekend doing that not counting a paycheck. But its not about the money, its about the PIZZA! (Mmmm)

[SureShot]

That's some funny stuff - I want to try the stick up thing :)

I am with Senocular - Arbys Rules. My problem is I am on a diet and don't eat there anymore.... gotta drop a few extra. I am down 7 since New Years Day :) In case you wanted to know....

But what pisser when they start advertising sour dough sandwiches :)

[senocular]

7!! woohoo! Thats no easy task this time of the year! ;)


Ive actually be needing to gain wieght. Im a waif (dont hate me). Maybe I should start eating mcdonalds more :-\

[sintax321]

I always like to buy food at another fast food resturant and take it inot a Macdonalds. They get real pissed when your eating burger king in there. I also like to oredr big macs at other fast food joints. When they say they don't have it I ask them if they can make me one any way.

Is there any A&W's in the US or are they just in Canada? They are one of the best places to get a burger. Them and Wendys

[senocular]

There are A&Ws here (in the US) but not many. Plenty of Wendys though. Not enough Arbys.

[mjULTRA]

its comforting to know that fast food has also infiltrated canadian society.

As a former McDonalds Employee, i no longer eat there. Not because of contamination, or gross stuff, more of an understanding of how it works. Everything is frozen, from the lettuce to the fries; from the meat to apples pies, it all goes straight to your thighs. I worked at a McDonalds in Wal-Mart, no less, and let me tell you, after serving a constant barrage of diminished mental capacity, coupon-weilding, gluttanous trailer-dwellers, one tends to pick up a healthy distrust for the nutritional value of a big mac. That and having to pump all the used grease into a grease bin... Yeeccch, imagine all that in your arteries! anyway, we all know its only McDonald's fries that keep it in business, and apparently, so does Taco Bell. I heard something from a friend that works at one, about Taco Bell having fries soon. Imagine that. :-\


Taco Bell lovers, ignore this next statement: i've heard from multiple people that the grade of meat used at T.B. is one grade lower than the grade of meat used in Dog Food. Eat up :)

anyway, i think its horrible that fast food is the only option for most people, because its made cheap and convenient. America is a fat nation, statistically, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that an unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise isn't a good way to live. But damn, Taco Bell has some good nachos....:evil:

[reverendflash]

I agree with Sintax...

the only "fast food" in the area of my home town was an A & Root...MacDonalds didn't come to town until I was 17. I didn't see the big deal, and still don't...

Now, In-N-Out Burgers are another story... Whenever I go to the Wharf, or outside SF, I have to stop and get stuffed...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[iLikePie]

guys, what kind of food is at arbys? and A & W (or are they the same thing?)

also, isn't wendys an icecream place?

in australia, we don't have arbys or A&W and only a few Taco Bell's... and wendy's serve ice cream and drinks (like smoothies and stuff) and i think hotdogs are the only 'food' they have...

oh and do you have subway over there? that's my favourite, but it's a bit pricey

Stuart

[sintax321]

A & W was a burger joint that started in Canada I do belive. It was a drive in resturant untill they became a fast food joint. They server burgers, chicken, and all the other stuff you would find a t a fast food place. THere quality of food is just a lot better then a Mac D's or BK. There key items are there Oninon Rings and there Root Beer which they sell in convenace stores.

Arbys: Is like a hot sandwich place. Hot roast beef on a bun or stuff like that. Hot shaved meats with sauce's. It is a better quality then your regular Fast Food place as well. The yhave curly fries that kick ***

I canada we also have a place called "Taco Time". This place kicks Taco Bells ***. I ate at a taco bell and it was the worst food ever. Taco Time uses real meat and ingerdents. Way better then taco bell.

[Jubba]

IlikePie: SUBWAY IS AWESOME! But Jared Fogle is a moron.

Maj: YES! You worked inside of Wal-Mart too!? So did I for the first 2 years of my McDonalds career. Then I moved to a real store, and I was made a manager. Then I was moved around to about 5 different stores because the stores 'needed the help' Now I am stationary at one store, and I hate it. I am attempting to find another job, but there are none in my area (economy is horrible). Also, do you know about 'the black box'? Its usually under the sink... Isn't that the nastiest thing you have ever experienced?

Yeha, economy does suck... finding a job is so hard where I am.... grrr.

But now that you mentioned this "black box" under the sink, you have my attention and my curiosity. What is this "black box" you speak of?



Anywho... I personally prefer Burger King over McDonalds, and I do know a lot of stuff that goes on behind the counter, but frankly, I just don't care... I live in a dirty city, dirty food isn't much different ;)


IlikePie: Wendy's here is another fast food burger place thing... yeah. Just like McDonalds or Burger King... but nastier.

[Jubba]

Actually having worked for all 3 places at one point. I would like to say that Wendy's while it looks dirtier on the outside, is actually, in my experience the better place. The food is fresher and better tasting. Just my experience...

The black box... well... the black box is a grease trap that traps all of the grease from the vent system. The black box gets cleaned out only once it gets full... so about once every 3 or 4 months. The grease and fat and oil that is in the box for 4 months begins to decompose, causing it to smell. In order for you to be able to imagine what this smell would be like think about this... Go into a sewer or septic tank, and just swim around for a while. Multiply that smell by about 50. And you have what the decomposing grease smells like... When they do clean the box the smell fills the entire store... its terrible...

I meant food wise... I can't stand wendys food.


And ew... I can imaging the grease trap. In my kitched we save old jars and we use them to drain grease from pans and stuff when we good, so they are like our grease traps. We don't throw them out until they are full (which is probably the same amount of time as the mcdonalds ones). Luckily they have lids so you can't smell them.... that is... until you open them. It is a horrible stench indeed.

[Jubba]

well image that, but only the size of a 5-gallon bucket.

[lostinbeta]

Yeah... I thought about that.... and.... ew. Indescribable. I little jar is just flat out nasty (enough sometimes to make you gag) let alone a 5-gallon bucket.

[fishtank]

this is what i did some weekend before...

a very good friend of me and i drove thru the mcdrive (we were drunk like no one else who's still alive :crazy: ...) and ordered (speaking dutch (my friend is from the netherlands)) a McGyver and KittenMcNuggets. As you can probably imagine, we were quite estonished when they said we'll should drive to the next window and get and pay it there, because we were loughing so loud, so they should actually have noticed that we were just joking. so my friend drove to the next window. some strange woman gave us a bag, saying "one mcgyver and 9 kittenMcNuggets, thats 20 euros, sir". we neither wanted to eat anything nor had much money with us, so we loughed at her and drove away very fast, the engine roared. i couldnt stop loughing...

[Jubba]

lol :P

:trout:

[lostinbeta]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mjULTRA]

and then imagine taking that five gallon bucket, and pumping it into a giant trash-bin size receptacle full of grease..

I once heard that McDonalds grease is actually fat syphoned from Marlon Brando's ***. Any truth to this?

I never had to deal with the black box under the sink, fortunately the worst i had to do involved the grease from the deep fryer.

While we are on the subject of fast food, does anyone else think its wrong for places like McDonalds to lure kids into eating unhealthy from an early age through the use of Marketing? Happy Meals feature Disney toys, their mascot is a freakin' clown, and most of them have 'kiddie playplaces'. If its wrong for cigarette companies to target children, how can Ray Croc get away with it?

Children choose McDonalds for its toys and its playplace, not for its nutritional value. And we all know parents could give a crap about maintaining a healthy diet. (Ever noticed really fat people tend to raise really fat kids?) Soda is not the best thing for a young kid to be drinking, but it comes with every happy meal, and every value meal, Super Sized if you pay an extra 39 cents. Fast Food is evil, and it strips us of our appreciation for the food we get. When was the last time you saw someone stop to give thanks to god before tearing into that number 5?

[Guig0]

Clever atendant hun?

[senocular]

thats great fishtank! :beam:

[fishtank]

:cowboy:

if youre drunk, you do such things...

... like ordering a McGyver :beam:

have you ever tried to order a steak or some kind of soup at the mc? would be funny too if one of these apprentice-guys would have to explain to you that they do not sell steaks...

[SureShot]

Fish, that's great! hahahaha

Back to A&W - I can remember going to the drive thru's when I was really young and it was amazing!! The waitress's had rollerskates and everything! (at least around here!)

[RenaissanceGirl]

I have had a friend work in every kind of fast food franchise and the stories they tell are enough to keep me from eating any kind of fast food.

Sure, I might order a drink or maybe even some fries... but ordering something with "meat" is another story.

As for the McDonald pranks - sorry, I don't think it's funny. I'm sure they get that a lot and that it's getting old (especially the one about Taco Bell).

Rev: You are on the money with In N Out. I worked there in college for a little over two years. I can confidently say that everything is indeed fresh, never frozen and we use the highest quality meat and veggies. I've also NEVER witnessed any of my associates spitting, licking or adding any "special sauce" into a customer's food. I think the worst thing I've done was actually add extra onions into a customers burger (she asked for no onions and was being very unruly).

[reverendflash]

I have to watch my burger being made...

I know too much about Safety and Sanitation/Human nature to just let a 16 yr old Philipino Thug with an attitude towards Management becuase he has to work Friday Nite, "season" my food...

that eliminates BK, McD, Wendy's, Back in the Jox, etc...

I don't miss them at all...
Thank goodness for In-N-Out...that, and Henry's Diner, for there I can still enjoy a burger...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[senocular]

I used to eat dirt as a kid. Im still alive. Fast food is fair game in my court. Besides all of the attitudinally challenged 16 yr old Philipino thugs around here got my back ;)

[reverendflash]

sen:

lol

dirt is actually quite clean - germ-wise, as compared to bodily fluids excremated freshly into food...

Wow. This is the first time I've started a thread that went past like three posts.

...


I'm so happy. :P :P :P

[RenaissanceGirl]

Well this filipino girl would never spit on your food, even if she was having a bad night. :P

But if I am feeling a little thuggish, I might give you extra pickles. I remember a time when this customer kept coming back for sides of spread (the sauce that is really nothing more than thick thousand island dressing). People like to dip their fries in them. At about the fifth time he came, we served it to him in a small drink cup with a straw. He didn't come back for more after that.

[mjULTRA]

haha, thats hilarious ren. Special Sauce is not very special if you ask me...
