I like McDonald's burgers.
I like Carl's Jr. Burgers more.
McDonald's, depending on my mood, can make a rated 7 burger. Carl's Junior, an 8.5.
The best burger I have ever had: I don't remember.

Sure, go ahead.
The fish filets and the fries were cooked in the same vat. You're supposed to clean the oil every night, but we just let the oil sit there for a week... maybe a week and a half. Y'know until it's as black as tar. Then we sorta clean it.
We wait until there's a thick ring of sludge around the milkshake tub until we clean it.
We don't have to wear gloves, unlike Subway. So if that quarter pounder has some extra hairs or boogers in it...well, that's just a part of our secret recipe.
If a rag drops on the floor, we pick it up and wipe the table with it and then place it right next to the buns.
Some dude wasn't granted a restroom break because it was busy, so he went and pissed in the handwash sink.
I'll think of more as it comes to me

We used the same oil for about 3 weeks. However, we had strictly separate oil for the fries, fish, and crispy chicken. We never mixed and it was a very big deal that they be kept separate.

We cleaned all of those items every night. The dishwasher had the hardest "closing" job.

We didn't have to wear gloves but we had to wear hats, could NOT have facial hair, and the ladies had the wear their hair up. If the ladies could not keep their hair up all the way packed in, they had to wear hair nets. We had to wash our hands about every 30 minutes, if we were on any food station. We had hand sanitizer right next to side A and side B, as well. If we touched anything other than food, we were supposed to wash our hands. (Scratch your face, wash. Scratch ANYTHING, wash. Touch your shirt, wash. And so forth.)

Gross. We had these disposable rags that would only be used for 24 hours or less. The night shift had to throw them all away, but they were fairly heavy duty.

That's not too bad as it's not really that dirty and it all goes down the drain, anyway.

The most disgusting thing I ever experienced while working for McDonald's was cleaning out the drain for the massive in floor sink that was next to the dish-washing sink. It had a little spray nozzle thing that came down from the ceiling. Well, the drain got nasty nasty nasty every 3 months, so someone had to clean it. It smelled soooo bad.
We all kept very clean and we made our food fast and clean. It was also one of the busiest McDonald's in the region, so we had no choice but to have really high standards.
Brag moment: I was the fastest burger maker in the region, and second fastest fry maker in the region (My assistant manager got one and a half more baskets of fries in 30 minutes, than I got.) Our regional manager would come by to each store, and have a semi-formal competition. He would do it on nights the highschool baseball players would come by, so we could get tons of work and pressure. I was ****in' machine with those burgers and fries. I could do the entire side A and fries, during lunch rush. I also kept my station clean. 😠

We had separate slots, but it was all the same vat. And...3 weeks is pretty nasty.. it probably must've smelled when you finally went to clean it.

Hell, half the time the milkshake machine broke down because no one came to clean it. I think, like, 5 times a month a repairman or repair-lady had to come in and fix it. Oh...we didn't have a dishwasher person. McDonalds claimed they didn't have the cash to freely hire one.

Yeah, they only used that requirement whenever the inspector came in-- which was once a month. So, the other 29 or 30 days, it was a "party 💃" so to speak. And, we didn't have all that sanitizer dispensers either. Our sanitizers were our shirt sleeves.

Gross nothing. Just think a high school gym locker room when you think of our towels 😆 Disposable towels? What disposable towels? 😆

I forgot to mention the handwash sink was right next to the sandwich table and in full view of the customers.

Mm...yeah.. cleaning out that in-floor sink was always my "favorite" chore. That and cleaning the grease dumpster out at the back of the store. Awesome times 😘
Yeah, my store was quite busy, too being on (well, near) the beach. Our little spot off the Gulf of Mexico was quite a touristy destination, so a lot of snowbirds and other apes*its always use to come down here. My managers always used to preach the book on making our times faster and faster. It's quite unfortunate that we trumped safety for economy.
I think the fastest time one of our regional workers made a burger from the time it was ordered to being placed in the Landing Zone was something like ten to twelve seconds. I didn't give a damn, I just made the thing.
😂 I sometimes feel sorry for the customers that came in when I made their burgers. Heh, heh. If they didn't have cankles I might physically go up and apologize to them, but then I remember that it was just a burger and their bodies would naturally attempt to eradicate the harmful material that had entered them in some form of fashion: sickness, diarrhea, death, etc.
When you're getting paid $7.25 and hour and serving people who make $72.50 an hour why the hell should anyone care about your feelings as a McDonald's worker anyhow? I say, crap on the already crap-filled hamburger meat. It'll show those bastard customers some true character building.
Imo, I don't think that employee deserved a slap to the face for making somebody impatient. That usually happens a lot but if you see them chatting with their friends after you tell them what you want and doesn't bother to get the food for ya, then yeah, he deserves a slap.
I don't give a crap if he was talking to his friends about some "important" movie, I wanted my friggin whopper!

Gotta worry about what they'd do to your whopper after you tell them to hurry up if they dawdle around talking about movies or some other bulls*it garbage
What people who've never worked in restaurants don't realize is that most times when you have to wait for food, it's not the server's fault, but the people behind him (wheel, cook, prep, etc...).
But then again, they're not there to analyze the logistics of food service. They're there to stuff their fat faces, so I digress.
