that look like spit to you yeah here are 10 more fast food items you should never order according
to employees let's find out the secret of what you should and shouldn't get from their place of work
don't spit in that cop's burger yeah thanks subways tuna to eat fresh eat fresh subway
it's no surprise that the meat sold at subway doesn't really live up to the eat fresh motto
the chain claims to deliver the cold cuts turkey and chicken have all been immensely criticized by
workers for the way they smell and look and even the way they're packaged but the worst meat of all
has to be the tuna fish for sport only not for meat fish meat is practically a vegetable earlier
this year the truth finally came out about subway's alleged tuna and it left a lot of
people feeling utterly disgusted it all started when a class-action lawsuit was filed against
subway claiming that its tuna was fake and the company had to prove everyone wrong and
let's just say things didn't really work out in their favor the flaked tuna blended with creamy
mayo served at the chain underwent a series of dna testing to see exactly what's inside of the
sandwich and the results were a little fishy to say the least according to the lab there are two
possibilities either the meat was too heavily processed to be identified or there was simply
no tuna dna to begin with there are many factors to consider of course however things remain pretty
questionable in this case the dna doesn't lie so next time an employee says steer clear of the
tuna you should definitely take their advice just don't do it promise 7-elevens hot dogs i'm just
getting a hot dog 7-eleven and gas stations in general are not the place for fine dining sure you
can get your cravings under control by grabbing some snacks a prepackaged meal or even a slurpee
but that's probably about as far as you should go according to some employees hot foods like
hot dogs aren't always the freshest items in the store and you should not order them hot dogs are
cooked on a rotating grill and if at the end of the day they haven't been sold they're supposed
to be tossed the only problem is apparently it's not every store that will actually follow this
discarding method and frequently the hot dogs are used way past their shelf lives some employees
are told to simply put them in the fridge and use them the next day for chili or cheese dogs
you know so you can't really see the condition of the hot dog the general rule is they can be
used and reheated for up to three days before they're finally thrown away the same applies at
movie theaters as well there an employee shares that one time she dropped a sausage on the floor
and was told to serve it anyway to avoid food waste i see what you did there imagine being
the lucky one to get served this extra seasoned hot dog good luck with that arby's roast beef
oh damn it johnny you know i love my big beef and cheddar arby's is known to have all the meats but
that might not always be such a good thing it's the perfect place to go if you're tired of your
run-of-the-mill fast food chains and want to try something different however keep in mind
the offerings may be a bit questionable at times while the commonly believed urban legend about
arby's roast beef being made from gels liquids and a combination of pastes is a hoax it's not
actually that far-fetched from the truth arby's locations receive all of the beef and air-tight
bags in a gelatinous broth which does give the illusion of a less than solid hunk of meat with
a weird jelly-like consistency and an unmatched squishiness it's easy to see where the rumors
started the squishy gray meat is then slow roasted in the bag and sliced to order or at least that's
how it's supposed to be according to some arby's employees if you decide to get your roast beef
fixed during the initial opening hours chances are you'll be getting yesterday's leftovers that were
kept in the fridge for the entire night now what is the cherry on top you may ask arby's roast beef
sandwiches also come jam-packed with sodium so they're not the best option for anyone looking
at the nutritional labels no i can't take it i can't take it jerry it's too much it's too much
to sum it up arby's might not be the best place to get your meat fix after all right right right
right right waffle house grits we can stay up late swapping manly stores and in the morning
i'm making waffles waffle house is definitely not the place to go when you're looking for a somewhat
healthy breakfast but it's still in the running when you want tasty food waffle house offers a
lot of great breakfast options and if you want to make sure you get the best quality meal
stick to the most popular options the grits for instance are something you should probably avoid
however mostly because of their lack of freshness which what's this over here you never heard of
brits according to a waffle house cook since the grits aren't the most popular dish they
end up sitting around for a very long time before they're actually served meaning freshness is the
last thing you should expect out of them maybe the questionable grits maintenance is an isolated case
and other locations do a better job at serving quality meals but sadly there's no definitive
way to know for sure to try and stay on the safe side of things consider only ordering
the things you know are made regularly and that goes for almost every restaurant out there trust
me when i say this fresh fries must quench with french fries it's the oldest trick in the book
if you want your fast food to be at peak freshness all you need to do is ask for a fresh batch of
whatever it is you're ordering technically this should be a bulletproof plan however employees
view this in a very different light to you it might be the easiest thing in the world to ask for
but for an employee it's one of the most annoying and irritable parts of their job usually when
a customer orders fresh fries more often than not they will end up complaining about how long
it takes what is taking so long i wasted all day obviously it takes longer since the fries need to
be made from scratch but the real takeaway is that most of the time you won't even get a fresh batch
why well depending on how busy the restaurant is they won't have time to make a special
batch just for you of course there's always the unsalted fries hack that is supposed to
ensure you get the freshest ones possible but that only frustrates the employees even more
if you truly want fresh fries the best thing you can do is go during business hours when they're
already making multiple batches of fries they'll be fresh every time oh it's so fresh
nothing better than when they're fresh not something chicken nuggets cucumber
ah chicken nuggets a fast food classic unfortunately no matter how beloved these
little crispy chicken bites are fast food restaurants might not be the best place to
get them from and yes that includes mcd's iconic mcnuggets a former mcdonald's employee had a lot
to say about the kind of nuggets you're really getting when you order a batch from your local
restaurant let's say they're not as fresh as you might think the nuggets do have a predetermined
shelf life and are supposed to be discarded after the timer goes off only not every employee honors
that code as one employee put it 9 out of 10 times when that timer goes off people just
reset the timer instead of making new ones this could go on until all the nuggets are sold what
it shouldn't be that surprising considering mcdonald's is all about avoiding food waste
but there is still a limit to what can be sold that same employee suggested that if you want to
order the nuggets you should ask for them to be fresh but like fresh fries we all know what that
can mean plus whether you ask for fresh nuggets or not it doesn't ensure you'll get something
better a wendy's employee allegedly also saw their peer dipping the bottom of the plastic bag into
the fryer to melt it and let the nuggets fall in to be cooked yeah ugh gross right guys starbucks
food ah another cold brew don't mind if i cold do there's no denying starbucks excels in refreshing
unique and tasty drinks that's what the chain does best and honestly it should probably stick to the
drinks and leave the rest for the other chains if you thought your nine dollar sandwich was
handcrafted by a professional chef in the back of those tiny stores this might come as quite a shock
to you since starbucks stores don't have access to full kitchens all of the food like sandwiches
salads and pastries are not made fresh in-house but rather shipped frozen and then sawed when
they say made to order what they really mean is microwaved when needed back off it's our microwave
ours forget about having a healthy salad or fresh breakfast sandwich it's all shipped from the same
factory so of course you can still get your lunch there but don't expect anything to be fresh or
free of preservatives in fact some products are so mass-produced that by the time you get them they
might be more than a few weeks old so forget about freshness and think about the health risks instead
food transportation of ready-to-eat items can increase risks of contamination and a foodborne
illness could simply be waiting to happen pass yeah culver's veggie burger it's all plant-based
soy protein and just you gotta taste this just try it going out to eat when you don't eat meat
can be quite difficult especially when it comes to fast food restaurants the vegetarian options
aren't always the most appealing so when you finally find your go-to spot you typically
never let go for anyone who used to be a fan of the veggie burger at culver's or any other veggie
friendly fast food joint you might want to re-sync your order in the future an employee at culver's
shared their thoughts about the veggie burger on reddit and revealed how they were really prepared
they keep all the veggie patties in the back of their freezer until someone orders one then
they'll shove it in the microwave for 30 seconds to saw and cook it on a grill that's been used
to cook beef patties all day whilst making jokes about how disgusting veggie burgers are
why they also added that this was the case for almost every fast food place that offers
veggie burgers so many things to address in this statement but the most important one is the grill
process the whole idea of enjoying a veggie burger is not eating meat so cooking it on the same grill
without cleaning it defeats the whole purpose if you want a meat-free burger that may not be
up to par then by all means treat yourself but if you truly want a reliable vegetarian option
maybe go for something else you ever had a big kahuna burger wanna bite they're real tasty
decaf coffee do you normally take coffee with your sugar what coffee is not for everyone and
although it's a great way to start your day or add a little energy to the afternoon blahs not
everyone can handle caffeine and that's okay there's always decaf to give you the same
delicious taste without the added side effects the only hiccup however is that you probably shouldn't
count on the accuracy of fast food restaurants at least according to most employees a burger
king employee took to reddit to warn people about what really goes into your cup when you order your
usual morning cup of decaf instead of brewing a pot of decaf the manager would ask the employees
to water down the regular coffee and serve it as uncaffeinated what did you say this kind of
swap is especially dangerous for people who are pregnant people with heart problems or anyone
who has trouble sleeping obviously this type of situation will always depend on the management
and we're not saying every burger king follows the same practices but it does give you something
to think about before reaching for that next cup of decaf another thing to consider the next time
you go for coffee to ensure you get the freshest cup possible try going early in the morning or
during peak business hours when the staff are at full capacity that way you'll avoid the old stale
pot that's been sitting around for hours that is very cold yeah it's old applebee's uh there's an
applebee's by the mall once upon a time there was a fast and casual dining chain called applebee's
that won the hearts of americans with its tasty food and great service it wasn't too fancy or
too expensive offering the perfect middle ground for a night out however things have gotten a bit
worse for the chain over the years and now it should probably be avoided at all costs
you see the prices might be low but so is the quality of the food that's served to you a former
employee revealed that if you're hoping to score a comforting freshly prepared meal you're better off
cooking at home apparently nothing is ever served fresh so much so that the food comes in frozen
vacuum-sealed packages that are sawed in bats of boiling water or microwaved not exactly the
most appetizing meal preparation plus the foods that require some plating techniques to look nice
and fresh like steaks burgers and chicken breasts are only put on the grill for one to two minutes
on each side to give them that freshly cooked appearance what in reality it all comes from the
same unappetizing bag some people will argue that applebee's isn't always that bad and that their
location is special that's special or not they all follow the same food preparation standards which
can't be overlooked think about it get a taste of more great videos just tap or click hit that
