these candy bars help fight terrorism with every chocolatey nugety bite our customers
too trusting of fast food chains the answer is probably yes so watch out for these 15 sneaky
ways fast food restaurants scam us so this was all a scam french fry carton optical illusion
magic tricks aren't the only source of optical illusions many restaurants are following suit
when it comes to making their portions appear to be generous even while decreasing the actual size
a former franchise employee cited that McDonald's workers are instructed to pinch the carton in a
specific manner while placing fries in them the illusion is that the cartons appear full
but are only filled part way McDonald's denies the allegations claiming them to be fictional
they State there are no secret tricks and they operate under strict procedures to ensure the
containers are not under filled however you may want to watch your French fry carton as
customers have noted they sometimes seemed lacking in volume already it's half empty
sham trackers they're in the middle of the ocean the internet made ordering out easier orders are
more accurate and there's little room for human error well at least until it gets processed by
the restaurant taking the order today trackers allow customers to see the status of their orders
however the information provided can be misleading trackers can be inaccurate as employees can enter
things into the computer to make it look like your orders in a different processing stage than
it is employees can change the steps in the series that it takes to make and deliver a pizza managers
do not enjoy seeing orders on a shelf while the tracker May indicate it's going through Quality
Inspection AKA sitting on a heating rack they will dispatch the order before drivers are at that
location for pickup this makes out the door times impressive for the in-house evaluation report so
if you note a significant delay in your pizza this may be the reason why 34 minutes four minutes late
pizza's free container sizes are often a lie venti is large large is large the size of the container
and the price you pay may not always be on the up and up let's look at the difference between a
cup and a bowl of soup for example you have the option to order your soup in a bowl or a cup at
Panera Bread it's presumed that the bowl of soup is larger and the cup is smaller however customers
have pointed out that the amount of soup you get in the end is the same the cup and bowl
of soup were exactly the same size people would pay extra for a bowl and receive the same amount
of soup that would be served in a cup the only difference the cup is taller and narrower at the
base than the bowl making it appear smaller I'm exactly the same size not so freshly made I found
that under the grill and tomorrow A customer will find it under his butt while fast food restaurants
attempt to provide quality food a con common phrase has become freshly made while most don't
expect a farm to table experience at a fast food location freshly made must mean something yet it
doesn't some restaurants freshly made versions involve thawing frozen foods and reheating them
many items come to restaurants Frozen and are reheated once they're ordered by customers this
is not fresh in the traditional sense of having fresh ingredients freshly made in these cases
indicates that your food is just being prepared when you order it while the food quality may
still be good you may be deceived if you assume the ingredients are fresh and prepared in-house
on that particular day you are so naive you may not receive what you ordered this is not what I
ordered restaurants lead us to believe that we receive what we order each time regrettably many
customers have experienced getting a cheeseburger without the cheese at least once no cheese get
hold of yourself Eugene while you can tell if the restaurant forgot to add cheese sometimes
the emissions are less noticeable you assume the order is correct if you can't see the difference
however it may not be a former Burger King employee on Reddit stated that the company
doesn't serve decaf their version of decaffeinated coffee is watered down regular coffee they were
instructed to water it to a half and half mixture at their BK location another redditor confessed
that as a former Subway employee they placed light mayonnaise in each bottle as it was cheaper than
the regular kind well it's not a big deal for some it causes one to wonder what else we don't
know don't be suspicious don't be suspicious drive through receives preferential treatment you don't
have to stand in this line come on with me if you want some good news then please order food
through the drive-through consumer affairs says that going through a drive-through is 10 seconds
faster than in previous years they also noted that restaurants find staffing in the dining area
inside challenging the struggle results in slower service times furthermore most restaurants stay
that most customers come through the drive-through window therefore many chains have upgraded that
part of the business first time here well what are you waiting for take a quick second to hit that
subscribe button thanks so much mystery charges extra charge for warm-ups have you ever placed
an order at a fast food restaurant and the cost was more than anticipated often we attribute it
to Rising food costs but this may not be the reality chances are when ordering fast food
you're not concerned about your receipt however you should be computer glitches are common and
can end up charging you for things you did not purchase furthermore customers have sometimes
discovered additional charges in their subtotal yet no description for what was being charged it
appeared to be an invisible charge while most companies State this is a rare occurrence it
happens more than you might expect another glitch if you aren't careful is that you may
pay for additional toppings you did not request if you're particular about how you like your food
items things can get messy when orders become too fancy so keep an eye on those receipts and take a
look before just tossing them in the trash you're making me pay you to stand at the cash register
a specialty sandwich scams [Music] now that's a regular burger just grosser than usual when did
Burgers like the Big Mac or specialty items like the ultimate cheeseburger become so expensive if
the price leaves you feeling aghast take solace in the fact that you can get a specialty burger
or at least a close facsimile without feeling like you've just been taken the key to this
is knowing how to order whether you're successful will depend on local prices but it may change how
you order food one tip is purchasing a McDouble for only two dollars and 52 cents U.S instead of
a Big Mac a Big Mac costs 5.78 you can buy two McDoubles and receive twice the amount of food
for the same cost instead of purchasing a double bacon cheeseburger at Jack In The Box buy two
of the junior bacon cheeseburgers remove a bun and put them together for a two dollar savings
Wendy's has a cheaper Junior cheeseburger so if you want the double stack buy two of the junior
cheeseburgers and create your own to save some cash and still feel full and as a bonus you get
extra cheese with Burger King there's an extra charge to add patties to a single cheeseburger
instead some customers have purchased an additional burger and added it to the other
meal to obtain extra lettuce cheese or tomato at a savings I did it I beat the system No Deal to
combo meals two World Famous Burger combo while we expect lower prices at fast food Outlets many
customers are spending more than anticipated combos multiple size options and upgrades are
tricks fast food restaurants incorporate to get customers to spend more combo meals are appealing
because they decide what to order for you drinks and portions are customized making customers think
they're getting a great deal at one point they did provide cost savings however this is no longer the
case most meals now consist of Premium sandwiches costing seven or eight dollars it's best to create
a combo meal using the value menu if you want to play the system you can receive an entire
meal by ordering from this menu for about five dollars while it's not as convenient as selecting
a number from the board you may save money in the end do you have that kind of money no no delivery
orders smaller than anticipated where the food is Tiny it looks like regular food but really
tiny do you count the food pieces in your order most people don't they assume if the meal appears
smaller then this is the restaurant's regular size however a former Domino's employee cited
that some delivery drivers ate customers food while delivering the item while they would never
eat food that would be noticeable like a slice of pizza they may consume items like wings or bread
bites seen as most people wouldn't sink to count them before eating them additionally some drivers
pick off pizza toppings even if customers notice their order was lesser they don't want to wait
for a new delivery order so they tended to settle for fewer breadsticks or Wings what's this leave
hot off the grill you don't put burgers on a grill of this quality I've been brining a Heritage breed
chicken for three days when people see grill marks on their food they expect that grilled flavor yet
if you look in the kitchen you'll often notice the absence of a grill so if no Grill exists
how do their patties receive these markings when prepared using a flat surface most restaurants
receive their products from companies that add grill marks to the food they also incorporate
flavor enhancers to make the patties taste like it was prepared on a barbecue it's been reported that
these items are soaked in animal fat salt smoke flavoring and preservative solution before using
glass of hot air this causes the item to look like it was grilled when it never touched a barbecue
nor was it even cooked white hamburger when you can have steak always fresh always hey yup this
thing's super expired okay so no one expects a restaurant to serve food past its expiration most
customers would be be disgusted by this however some of the most well-known franchises may be
serving expired food a former Subway employee came forward alleging that their manager was very
conscious of food costs soda lower prices food expiration dates were changed so they weren't
thrown out undercover reporters in 2014 discovered that an American-owned Factory in Shanghai was
guilty of changing the dates on expired Meats the company sent meat like beef and chicken to KFC and
McDonald's locations in China Yum brands KFC's parent company dropped their supplier McDonald's
continued using the company but ordered from a different plant while this may not be as common
nationally you may want to ensure that your food tastes and smells fresh until you taste it I won't
swallow a spoonful where's my beef where's it most customers have heard about the pink
slime scandal at one point McDonald's included this beef trimmings paste treated with ammonia
in their burgers the fast food giant stopped the process and even went so far as to invite a former
mythbuster into a facility to see their burger patty making process they assured customers that
McDonald's is no longer using pink slime their meat is made from real beef with no additional
additives fillers or preservatives Burger King was another restaurant that got caught up in Scandal
in 2013 some of their European meat suppliers were implicated when investigations discovered
that horse meat was mixed into beef products while only Trace Amounts were found the fast food
giant kept their customers contend by switching suppliers since that time most restaurants have
been more transparent when it comes to using quality ingredients however some companies
did not follow this example Taco Bell admitted that their meat only contains 88 beef after a
class action loss claimed it was only 35 percent the rest of their meat was made from seasonings
fillers thickeners and emulsifiers under USDA standards this cannot technically be called beef
what do you know there's more nutritional value in the toy than the food limited time offers offer
expires at midnight scarcity is a sales driver because it hooks into that feeling of fomo and
has us itching to get something that we might not usually get purely because we don't want to
miss out on the opportunity to get it what does this look like for the food business it can look
like specialty items and annual promotions think of McDonald's Shamrock Shake Starbucks pumpkin
spice latte or Tim Hortons Roll Up the Rim to win promo all these limited time offers are to get you
to visit the restaurant for a specific reason and often leads to patrons returning to get it
again while it's still available on top of this food places know that once you're there you're
likely to order a few of other things in addition to the limited time offer that's gonna liver and
onion rings a Catch of the Day in a steak cut in the shape of a trout medium-sized deceit
some restaurants have developed a sneaky method surrounding their medium drinks they've found
that most consumers silently congratulate themselves for not ordering the large drink
option thus they reward themselves with an extra side item like french fries while it seems like a
reward the reality is that the medium soft drink contains 20 to 30 ounces of liquid this is twice
the size that Medium Fountain drinks once were therefore customers aren't drinking less soda
they're consuming more additionally by ordering that extra item or dessert since you only order
the medium drink you're paying and eating more this makes this decision less lucrative given
the evidence how is this a child size soda we are serving up more great videos just tap or
