The latest Reddit questionnaire will make you rethink the guilty midnight or occasional indulgences you may dip into when say there’s a McDonald’s, Hot Dog Truck, or even my personal sinful treat Starbucks around! Fast Food employees and Restaurant workers have confessed to some of the worst things you could order from their work place, check out their responses below.
Anything McCafé at McDonald’s
“I work for Mcdonald’s and make sure everyone that matters to me never orders anything that comes out of the ‘McCafe’ machine as these are routinely neglected, in practically all the McDonalds. Not only are staff not properly trained in its cleaning and maintenance, at almost every McDonalds I’ve had experience with, the managers in charge of training them don’t know fuck all either…All McCafe beverages run through a horrifically dirty machine – we’re talking 5+ inches of uncleaned, liquid bullshit making up its inside parts” – Envirometh
On Wendy’s chili
“I used to work at Wendy’s. The meat used in the chili, yeah that comes from the meat on the grill top that expires and dries up that’s put in to a warming drawer until you have enough for a batch of chili, which we first freeze and then thaw the next day. Also if the chili sitting in the warmer doesn’t sell fast enough we just added hot water to it to mix it up.”
Skip the pasta at Panera, stick to the sandwiches
“Panera- pasta; it’s all microwaved, this includes Mac and cheese. Smoothies/frozen drinks- nasty base crap that smells and it’s sticky. Cupcakes/coffee cakes- all come frozen. Best items are the real sandwhich/ salads. Real ingredients and usually fresh.” – President_Pancake
“For the love of God, don’t order anything off the Starbucks “Secret Menu”
“Former starbucks worker here. Please don’t order anything off the ‘Secret Menu’. It doesn’t exist. If you want a snickerdoodle, nuttella, or captain crunch frappuchino (or whatever other overly sugery thing someone has since come out with), know the base drink and the modifications, and order that. If you just say the name, it’s up to the barista to come up with what’s in the drink, and it may not be what the last barista you ordered from put in there.” – Stac52
On The Addicting Yet Infamous Gas Station Slurpees
“Gas station slurpee’s. The amount of mold in those machines would crush your childhood to a pulp.” -MarTank666
“America Runs On Dunkin”
“Currently employed at Dunkin doughnuts and it’s sad but true all the doughnuts and baked goods there come to us frozen.”- Ass_in_assasain

Not only will this save my life but save my pockets bc all I do is buy food!
The chilli thing at Wendy’s is only partially true! I worked at Wendy’s all throughout Jr.high and high school so I know that it is 100% USDA approved, quality meat.
The meat that is cooked on the grill for burgers has time limits and is put in a refrigerator located underneath, next to the grill to assure freshness. It’s then weighed and refrigerated for the next day which the opening prep crew boils then chops up the meat for the chilli. It’s high in sodium but otherwise is very delicious.
