McDonnalds Urban Legend!?

Binomate · 06-02-2006 11:27PM #1

Have you ever heard of someone finding spit in their burger? I remember I used to hear horror stories from my mates who knew people who found out someone had halked all over the inside of their burger after they gave cheek to the some young fella behind the counter. Although I don't think any of the workers now a days would do it for fear of being deported or something.

Anyone have any real life horror stories about any fast food resteraunts like the urban legend above?

I do it all the time mate. Be nice to me. You could be next.

WexCan · 06-02-2006 11:32PM

As an ex Maccies employee I can categorically say that I never EVER saw it happen. We joked about it, but never did it. Our amusement was mainly from sending back grill slips:

1 SMARTIEFLURRY
> EXTRA MEAT
> EXTRA KETCHUP
> NO ONION

Well now in all fairness, that's a lot better than lifting the bun to find a jobby.

This one's pretty common. Maccies policy is not to flip the meat at all. You just stick it on the grill, pull down the top platen (cooks on both sides) and 60 seconds later the grill releases and you have to take the meat off, pink bits and all.

Some stores aren't as strict but I got my head eaten of by a manager once for flipping.

So burger-flippers is a bit outdated

Never worked in fast food but if I had I'd probably joke about it like anyone else but certainly wouldn't ever do it no matter how big a cúnt the guy about to get it was. I'd definetly turn narc on someone who did it too. Sick fúckers.

Terry · 06-02-2006 11:39PM

a friend of mine told me that he found a big clump of hair in his mcchicken sandwich. i didn't believe him though. he's something of a liar.

I personally know of several disgruntled ex-employees who have added various bodily fluids to the milkshake mixture, etc. upon being fired.

Only one I know of happened to my mam. She got a Big Mac from a Drive Thru. When she opened it there was already a bite taken out of it! She tried to bring it back but the manager was accusing her of doing it. Of course when the words 'Lab test' and 'Solicitor' were mentioned out came the free birthday party for me and, jesus there must have been at least 20 or 30, other kids. We even brought friends of friends just to make up the numbers and get as much out of them as we could. My mam didn't want money off them, I'm sure they didn't want to go giving out money, I got a free party. Everybodys happy. Of course she hasn't eaten there since

Victor · 06-02-2006 11:52PM

The most I've ever seen was a physicly abuse burger - squashed, torn, etc. No molestation.

I thought it was cool to order one night

54  BIG-MAC
      > PLAIN

In English, thats 54 plain Big-Macs. I then hit TOTAL (no changes allow) instead of SUB-TOTAL (changes allow) and had to get a manager to erase it.

WexCan · 06-02-2006 11:54PM

Ah the best one was entering 99 on someone else's till and waiting. They've changed it over the last few years so all deletions and changes need manager keys.

Tee hee hee.

Fajitas! · 06-02-2006 11:54PM

Mate of mine found what he thought was spit in a burger. Fair enough it could have been but it could have been grease or anything too.

Then again he's a bit of a prick to people that work in places like that.

My friend used work in a pizza company. Many a tale of salami tubes down the crack, 'cheesy' cheese etc. Obviously I never ate in there.

Ex maccies employee, I lasted for two days, at the time there was some promo on and there was balloons everywhere

Sure enough staff started messing with them and a customer came back with a red ballonn in his fries, guy was sacked on the spot, I wish it could have been me so I did'nt have to go in the next day

TerrorFirmer · 07-02-2006 12:27AM

I worked in Supermacs for a few years, and as someone said, you joke about it, but in reality I never once saw anybody abuse anyones food in any way.

Although listen to this - me and my friend were re-filling the ice cream machine on a quiet day. There was a big fly flying about the place and he landed inside the machine and began crawling along the side of the vat. So me and my friend got a packet of the ice cream milk stuff each and started squirting it, seeing who could get the fly first. It was only after my friend successfully blasted him into the depths of the mixture we realised....oh crap....that's pretty sick. It was a pretty big fly.

We sold a fair bit of ice cream that day. No one reported any insects.

I've heard some pretty weird stuff about the Supermacs in Galway. Apparently some Romanian lad put a knife to a girls throat and told her to give him a hand job. Some how she escaped and reported him to the Gardaí but they couldn't find him. Of course the next day she walks in to Supermacs in eyre square and guess who was behind the counter to take her order!

I worked in the one in Oranmore. At any one time only about 3 staff on, place was always quiet, so apart from public holidays and night time after the pub, which I never worked anyway, it was mostly quiet. :cool:

No crazy Romanians here thank you! Although lots of poles, and thankfully, all dead sound and great fun.

I remember me and another bloke i worked with got a bollicking (for not selling enough supersize or something) and we were real pissed off, so we went down to the utility room and proceded to put about 6ooeuros worth(a months supply) of non-diluted cleaning agents down the drains! it was funny at the time when you were 16 in your first job and hating every minute of it.

We also used to lock each other in the customers toilets for hours and put the xmas cds on in the middle of march.

we used to write messages to the customers on the burger boxes, **** like " save us, they make us work all day and pay us **** all money".

Ah those were the days.

Mac donalds is not the one to worry about ..you can always see into the kitchen ie you know what their doing as you can see them!
My buddy is a chef and he worked in a lot of top clas resturants....he and his co workers would do things out of spite on certain guests.
be careful what you send back!

Kinetic^ · 07-02-2006 11:34AM

A guy I know who's also a member of Boards *cough* Gator *cough*, got given out to in McDonalds for calling the fries chips, he left after his first day
