As I get older, I am noticing an increased hesitancy of having my food cooked by a kid who has to have a sign posted in the restroom reminding him/her to wash their hands before leaving.

I remember many moons ago as a teen when I worked at the McDonald’s in our town. I only worked weekends, so needless to say that is when we saw the most interesting traffic. A co-worker friend of mine used to do stuff in the grill area that was so over the top, we would be laughing for hours. There was this one time when he pulled off the twelve patties off the grill and placed them on buns, he kicked the tray and sent all the patties flying to the ground. Instead of throwing them away he just scooped them up, finished dressing them and passed them to the front to be served.

There was another time he saw a roach crawling near the deep fryer pit. He smacked it with the spatula and watched as it fell in the hot oil. Apple pies—served! There were other things, but quite frankly I am not trying to remember them right now.

Last thing. I love good cole slaw, but after seeing some hidden camera show of someone snotting in a customer’s food, I only try to eat mayonnaise-based foods made by either me or my wife.

I know I just screwed up about half of your lunches today :) ! Hey, all the more reason why you should make your own lunch.

    How come there are 0 responses?? lol

    Anyway, I thank you for posting this. I have slowly weaned myself off fast food over the last 8 months. I am ashamed to say it took that long but I really think it was a type of addiction. But 8 months later, I’m healthier and my budget is looking a lot better!

    Thank you for publishing this, all the more reason to stay away.
