really no normally the best barometer for whether or not something is edible at a restaurant is
whether or not the staff would eat it here to let us in on some mickey d's secrets are 15 mcdonald's
menu items that even the staff won't eat it's too much it's too much kind of fresh but also not
fresh onions onion now try not to cry over this one in fact can you cry over dehydrated onions
that's right mcdonald's uses dehydrated onions and apparently there is method to this madness
dehydrated onions are used to avoid rotting so basically in an attempt to keep things as
fresh like as possible mickey d's has opted to get onions that aren't exactly fresh what they're not
not fresh but they're not really fresh either they're sort of pseudo fresh if you will there
was a rumor that the onions were made from powder but that hasn't really seemed to have held up
all rumors aside mickey d's is trying to do right by us with this one but it would seem
that the employees feel the move is potentially the wrong one the great chicken nugget deception
i deep fried chicken nuggets man chicken mcnuggets are definitely a mcdonald's fan favorite
no one can really deny that it is the best but what we can deny is our future cravings to enjoy
some of these chicken nuggets you see a little birdie aka a mcdonald's employee on reddit
shared with the world just how our beloved chicken mcnuggets are made
and brace yourselves because it's not looking good at least not in terms of freshness the
chicken nugget machines have a timer that goes off to indicate that the done nuggets need to
be replaced with fresh nuggets but the thing is many employees are just resetting the timer and
leaving the old nuggets in the machine allowing them to just sit there and continue cooking until
some unsuspecting customer orders them not cool mcdonald's not cool the not so fresh filet of fish
you like seafood do you good we get it a seafood item at a mostly beef and chicken establishment
isn't exactly gonna do numbers but you might be surprised to learn that it doesn't do well with
the staff either not only do employees not enjoy preparing it for you the customer since the whole
ordeal is rather messy and the presentation is kind of blah but they don't like preparing it
for themselves either is that good it sounds bad they say that very often this menu item is just
literally sitting in the heating cabinet for hours upon hours upon hours so if you're a filet of fish
fan make sure to request that your order be fresh and confirm that it is in fact edible
before biting into your sandwich the salad is just as bad ron would you like some salad since i
am not a rabbit no i do not one would think that a mcdonald's employee might reach for a salad option
over something heavier on the menu but in reality mickey d's employees are turning away from the
salad all together why apparently these lighter options aren't really lighter at all an employee
told business insider about how the staff tends to avoid the salad because of the salad's robust
nutritional content so employees may tend to say no to the crispy chicken salad or the bacon ranch
salad with grilled chicken but that doesn't mean that they're not using their exclusive discounts
on some of mickey d's other menu items instead skip the milkshakes and smoothies you think you
could milk me when it comes to mcdonald's we tend to let a lot slide well apparently the milkshake
and smoothie machine cleanliness levels are so bad that the employees can't let that one slide yikes
that's a recipe for disappointment word is that the machines are not cleaned enough the machines
can supposedly get so gross that when customers place milkshake or smoothies orders sometimes
the staff deny their requests by claiming that the machine is broken or requires maintenance
a residue can build and get left behind that is apparently so borderline disgusting that
staff won't touch a milkshake or smoothie and they won't give you one either okay okay we get it no
one should be enjoying milkshakes or smoothies at mcdonald's the true mcrib omg the macrib is back
mcdonald's employees have some pretty harsh things to say about this cult classic sandwich prepare to
have your appetite temporarily or possibly eternally eradicated a mcdonald's employee
actually claimed that when the mcrib is in prep mode prior to being doused in sauce apparently
it doesn't even resemble meat apparently a staff member went so far as to say it looks like a scab
now while you recover from that image there's another not so great point to contend with
apparently the mcrib is prepared in the morning but because it is not as popular as it believes
itself to be it just sits there for hours upon hours waiting to be ordered and then it's not only
not fresh anymore but it's also not hot nothing better than when they're fresh not so entire while
both the mcrib and the breakfast club may be 1980s cult classics it would seem that only one of those
would hold up to the test of time and that would be the one featuring molly ringwald it's a pass on
the egg white sandwich maybe next time deshawn you would think that an egg white sandwich couldn't
be bad for you but at mcdonald's anything is possible there's two main things to keep in mind
when considering the egg white sandwich exhibit a there's tons of butter on the sandwich well
more of a substitute than actual butter i still can't believe it's nut butter and exhibit b the
egg whites don't even give you enough protein to give you the energy you need to go about your
day between exhibit a and exhibit b employees say see you later to the egg white sandwich we don't
blame them when you know you know apparently the whole item was scrapped from the menu in 1991 due
to backlash to the packaging we guess it's a good thing why be tempted to get something supposedly
good for you if it's not even gonna fulfill that purpose we see no point and in the end neither did
mcdonald's show your support by hitting that like button we do appreciate it now let's keep going
it's a no for the apple pie you've never had apple pie mcdonald's often prides itself on its apple
pie but the funny thing is most people aren't buying them not the customers and not the staff
most people aren't walking into the golden arches looking for america's favorite dessert no most
people want the good stuff and how do you know that nobody is really considering the apple pie as
the good stuff uh you tell me well because first of all they sit on the shelf for the majority of
the day because no one's really ordering them and on top of that the staff are rejecting the
apple pie as a break time snack option even with their discounts they say no to this dessert menu
item since they're not fresh and therefore not so appetizing a good rule to live by
if the staff say no the customer should go the avoided grilled chicken sandwich baked no no no
regular chicken sandwich with a description like this it's no wonder the staff avoid this menu item
at all costs so it would appear that the grilled chicken sandwich gets far from a standing ovation
from mcdonald's staff but instead it kinda gets the scarlet letter firstly an employee on reddit
described this menu item as not only frozen but downright horrible and even gelatinous
it definitely sounds bad okay the same employee gone rogue advised the public to keep a safe
distance from this grilled chicken sandwich on top of that others have said that since this sandwich
is in low demand it tends to sit in the heater for way longer than is desirable for anyone so in the
end the employees don't support this menu item to such an extent that they tried to warn the public
against it that's a red flag if there ever was one escape the hoopla of new or limited edition items
trust me when i say this the public will often line up in droves just to experience
the excitement that new or limited edition items can bring there's the newness factor and there's
also the exclusive factor however the staff say not so fast while customers are busy rushing to
get to mcdonald's to try out these items the staff are rushing to get it right so that we can enjoy
these items properly apparently the learning curve is so problematic regarding some of these items at
mcdonald's that the staff say just pass since they aren't even sure if they're gonna get it right
the employees are not given the appropriate amount of training regarding the items and so when they
are prepping them they're actually simultaneously stressing about making them correctly so escape
the hoopla and go for a regular menu item i'll have the big bang please great joy at least that
way you'll have confidence that you'll actually get what you ordered it all depends on the size of
the patty that thing was huge i mean it was like this big while some mickey d's employees claim
this is not accurate as per their experience at their restaurant location others tell us
to beware and so we think it's best if we heed this warning according to some mcdonald's staff
members your beef patty may be undercooked what adding insult to injury not only are
these smaller 1.6 ounce patties used in big macs and double cheeseburgers potentially undercooked
but they also apparently sit around for a longer time before actually being served now one way you
could avoid the 1.6 ounce patty altogether is to order a quarter pounder which has a sizable 4.25
ounce patty instead so that's always an option the word is that the smaller patties just aren't kept
on the grill long enough and since the majority of the items on the menu are made with these patties
you may not be in luck make dirty mcflurry ice cream i like ice cream it's a running joke amongst
mcdonald's loyalists everywhere that the ice cream machine is usually broken but apparently
even when it's working employees say thanks but no thanks to mcflurries did you know that the machine
used to make your favorite golden arches dessert is nasty the machine is so nasty that when a now
fired ex-employee of the fast food chain revealed just how gross the drip tray was the internet was
aghast a mcdonald's went in to save the company pr mode thing is workers find cleaning the drip
tray pretty hard and so they avoid doing it we get that but when it comes to kitchen hygiene
in a restaurant there's really no cutting corners i'm very disappointed in you you've
got the public's health on the line and you kinda gotta take that seriously the not so healthy menu
i made a mistake mcdonald's supposedly provides some options for the fitness
gurus or health nuts out there well apparently you gotta watch out for the fried and the frozen
inside of your wraps at mickey d's supposedly the ingredients in our wraps from mcdonald's are iffy
at best the chicken is deep fried and even veggie patties are fried as well the chicken is also
pre-cooked and frozen so we're not exactly getting the post-workout grub vibes from this one and it
kinda gets worse an employee claims that when some staff members use the bathroom they are not so
um disciplined about washing their hands ah yep you is right we recommend using proper hygiene
at all times when preparing food otherwise you might end up getting calmed down in epic karen
style not so decaf excuse me that better be decaf buyer beware now we don't all need that boost
that caffeine delivers every time we reach for a cup of java sometimes we just want the taste
another cold brew don't mind if i cold do in fact some people can't drink regular coffee
because of health conditions word is that if you arrive during the morning rush you should be good
the mickey d's team is making both regular and decaf coffee regularly at that time
but throughout the rest of the day it might be worth it to ask for a fresh pot of decaf coffee
if that's what you want because chances are if you just ask for a decaf coffee during an off hour
you might get an off product thing is mcdonald's employees have been known to just serve a regular
cup of joe in the place of a truly decaffeinated one so the employees avoid the decaf coffee
since you know they can't even confirm it is that to begin with just about everything stinking turd
nugget it sucks you're right everything sucks it's important to note that some employees avoid
everything on the menu and in a word here's why freshness apparently sometimes the staff gets so
passive about their jobs that they actively ignore when the timers go off that indicate when items
need to be replaced you see there are timers set to tell mickey d's employees when something has
been sitting out too long word is these employees are so complacent about the whole process that
they in fact actually just reset the timers sometimes without replacing anything so obviously
then they avoid eating at the restaurant all together but have no fear you can always pull a
freshness hack and ask for no salt on your french fries or claim you have allergies when you don't
smart and smart but in the end being direct is the best course of action just ask
the mcdonald's staff member to make it fresh and like a genie in the bottle they'll most
likely grant your wish easy peasy we're serving up more great videos just tap or click hit that
