thanks for the heads up 👍👍

I have never and will never especially after learning they wouldn't serve or send our troops free coffee after other fast food places offered to help them. This was back in the early 2000s.

I am thinking that the people who get these items on the regular won't be seeing this anyway. I do get some of these but not everyday. Probably doesn't hurt anything. But for those that eat at restaurants every meal. It is sad to see children in the shape they are in. Where did our diets get so bad.

Me either!

I don't drink coffee, so I've never been to Starbucks either.

UNION SOLIDARITY!

I never, ever get my coffee at “five-bucks”…for an obvious reason.

I worked at Wendy’s before we did use burgers that was left on the grill too long or we didn’t sell.

@@wblake22 dang that sux

@@All_I_can_say_is_Wow Yeah we would use the old meat from the night before with our chilli at Wendy's.

We used broken patties and patties that had been on the grill too long to serve in a sandwich. Perfectly fine meat, just not acceptable as a 'fresh' sandwich anymore. These were then boiled to remove excess fat and chopped into chili meat for batches. The better trained your crew, the less broken/older patties you get. And yes, we always had to add fresh cooked patties to make the 10 pound batches because we trained well. Haven't managed Wendy's in 30+ years but still like their chili occasionally.

Even if they were old... I can't tell you how many times I have used stale bread in cooking.

Ikr

I used to work there in the '80's. We did this and I find nothing wrong with it at all. The patties were not old. They also used the chicken for the chicken a-la-king for a potatoe topping. Also, back then there was no freezers. The pile of potatoes where freshly cut in a potatoe slicer! Miss those fresh days!

Where are the budget prices? They're charging you to eat their garbage.

I also worked there. The burger patties can only be on the grill for a set time. When they teach that limit and there are no orders they put them in a plastic bin by the grill. When it's full they cover it and put it in the walk-in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it and obviously, the chili tastes nice.

Damn right 👍

It's like a garbage disposal. Ask a plumber and they'll tell you you can't ever put any kind of food down it.

@@harperstacey9604 So I worked for 2 weeks after training. I live in a very small southern town now that doesn't offer a lot in employment. I took the job because of that. During this time I was offered a job as General Manger of a Holiday Inn Express from a former employer. I much preferred working in the hospitality industry than fast food. I was better at it too. I was also older and it was easier to work with my mind than to work in a fast pace setting.

True

Thanks for confirming a 2nd claim on here was false. The filet was false too, Mcds uses extreme quality and time control mechanisms like timers.

I was also a night baker at Panera and did take a lot of pride in every one of my bakes (although many managers did not ) . Everything you said is true, but I am worried that recently things may have changed. I'd like to hear directly from more recent employees. I'm sad to see many of the old pastries have gone. What happened to the pecan rolls? And what's with those gross cinnamon rolls?

@@nuaru100 Hi! It’s so nice to hear from another “prideful baker”! Yes, our hard work definitely went unnoticed many, many times! Seemed the more we did to ‘prove’ our worth, the more work & responsibilities fell on our tired shoulders-nightly, right? Sadly I departed Panera & left behind all of my ‘talents’ in 2006. Early in my shift one night, as I bent over in the walk-in cooler to retrieve a box of fresh fruit I’d be using for pastries, I felt (& heard!) a sudden painful ‘pop’ in my low back! Within minutes, both of my legs started to go numb! I tried to ignore the pain & just walk (or work!) it off, to no avail. Realizing I was in trouble & not going to be able to complete my duties for the remaining hours of my 10 hour shift (alone-mind you!), I called our baking manager (who supervised the bakers in over 10 different Paneras). Seemed I caught him between a rock & a hard place! I’ll never forget him asking if I “can’t just stick it out”! No! I am loosing all feeling in my legs & I’m afraid I’m going to fall! I need to go to the ER! Well, at least an hour passed before he showed up to relieve me. I drove myself to the hospital that night & how I did that, I can’t tell you! It took about 12 weeks for a neurosurgeon to be approved to treat me & to finally diagnose: a ruptured disk between my 4th & 5th lumbar vertebrae. Even during the course of my medical treatment, Panera controlled which doctors I saw & what treatments I received. (If only the ER doctor would’ve ordered a CT scan or an MRI that night, the diagnosis wouldn’t have taken 12 wks of nonproductive physical therapy! ……but, I digress! Fast forward 17 years later, after 2 failed back surgeries & the horrors of 15 years of Fentanyl for pain relief, I am disabled & my entire life away of Panera has been completely turned upside down! On December 2 I am going to have a Spinal Cord Stimulator surgically implanted to prevent my brain from feeling the pain in my back & both of my legs. It’s not a cure-there never ‘will be’ a cure-but it’s an acceptable form of permanent (hopefully) pain relief. Next month I’ll turn 69; perhaps with the SCS surgery I can ‘live’ another 10, 15, 20 years? Maybe I can makeup for ‘some’ of the 17 years I’ve mustered through? We’ll see! The point of me sharing my story-Panera bakers are expendable, no matter how dedicated, professional or talented they are.

This video is such a crock of sh...

@@carolmackowiak752 Damn, that sounds horrible. I'm so sorry! My pain and suffering came more in the form of emotional anguish. Besides the lack of respect, there was the night the closing manager forgot to lock the back door (not the first time) and the cops making rounds tried the door and set off the alarms. I had no idea they did this. But suddenly all of the alarms went off, and I was left hiding in a dark corner holding the biggest knife I could find. By the time the police officers rounded the corner of the baking area I was a mass of raw nerves. Before that night, solo bakes were kind of fun, I played my music as loud as I wanted, and shouted out anything I cared to shout. Things were never the same after that night.

Especially since everyone does that same sort of thing at home. I don't eat fast food, but it's for other reasons.

@@artbrownsr ME TOO!

Fries 😡

I love the Filet O Fish. I really miss the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Other places have them but it's just the sauce not the chicken patty that's Spicy. I wish they would bring it back.

I love it too. And you may have to wait a few more minutes for it to be cooked( they don’t sell like burgers do or as fast ) so are usually cooked as ordered. And, they are expensive to throw out if kept warm under lights waiting to be sold and fish is not something you play with as far as food poisoning goes, especially tartar sauce under hot lights.

My favorite

Boy, oh boy, you hot that straight. Best, most delicious sandwich in the world. And, I mean that literally. I eat them in Taiwan, and I turn people onto them. They are a hidden gem, nobody knows about. I used to work at McDonald’s when I lied my age at 15. I was a young grill man. Best job I ever had. Loved every minute of working for that grand organization. Taught me teamwork. But, I digress. The little secret which makes the filet o fish so spectacular besides the tender crispy perfectly timed fish and the savory tartar sauce and the cheese, is the fact that the bun is not toasted- it is steamed. No other bun on the menu is steamed. Only the fish filet. Brilliant, Watson, Brilliant!!!

The problem I've seen with the fillet of fish is that sometimes it's obviously refried. If your fish is slightly blackish,don't eat it.

Right? And as long as you don’t eat the whole thing by yourself, it’s fine.

What is a blooming onion? I never heard of it. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

@Harper Stacy,it’s just a big sliced and coated fried onion,sort of like onion petals or onion straws,if you’ve ever heard or seen those. Blooming Onion is served at a restaurant called Outback Steakhouse.

@@jamesgraham3116 it is? Then I guess we both win! Hooray! I'm glad we could make each other happy!

And your comment proves why America is doomed.

I think so too, especially in the case of Wendy’s chili. I would expect it to be fresh. I work for a fast food place, and there’s a certain time that the item “expires”, and if it’s not saved (given to an employee, put in something else, etc.), it just goes to the trash, but to fix the problem, they want the restaurant to buy a fresh thing of ground beef, or to buy the cut of meat that ground beef is made out of and grind it..., which creates more overhead for the restaurant...

I was thinking the same. Unless it’s advertised like Wendy’s, I don’t understand why anyone would expect that from a fast food joint. Personally, I expect fast food to not be expired, but not to be fresh. It’s processed food. Of course it’s not fresh.

Agreed 👍

​@@baneverything5580 How so? A country doomed, yet everyone wants to come here, to the point of risking their lives, going into servitude, ( sexual and otherwise), having to pay tens of thousands of dollars, (even being without having any money of their own), and at times having their families held hostage until the debt is paid off ( sometimes at the loss of life), etc. Welcome to "Doomsville"!!

Thanks for the advice. I will try it that way the next time I order a fish fillet at McDonald's. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

It’s because, they don’t clean it, is why it broke down to begin with! It’s full of gummed up bacteria!

Machine down is subjective.

Seems that this is always the 'excuse' for why the machine is 'down'... you would think Mc D's would have a redesigned machine made that you could simply disassemble the parts in minutes and you put them in an autoclave to clean them!

Called lazy, get a different job then someone else will do it

Yeah, but, McDonald’s is not a ice cream shop chain! This is why, the dipped cones more than likely didn’t last! In a actual ice cream shop/ restaurant they mostly know what they are doing and, this is why it would be better to get a dipped cone there to begin with! I did like when, they actually put the fresh strawberries in there milkshakes and, those caramel milkshakes they had out the year my daughter graduated high school,those, were pretty darn good!

I think we have all heard enough on how Wendy’s Chili was made through the yrs, no one wants to hear it anymore! Because, one the chili is always quite cold and, isn’t fit to eat and, it’s flavorless and, has no actual chili spices in it! Never liked or cared for it to begin with after trying it the first time in the 70s! But, what little, I have ate there through the years and, it being forced upon me to eat there, the chili still was consistently like this at a bunch of other locations! It isn’t fit to eat!

I like the chili too. I bring it home and have to wait to eat it because it's so hot. Tastes good and come on it's fast food.

I like Wendy's chili too. Super good on their taco salad.

Onion Chips - ( the breading) maybe made the same way with all restaurants that serve them. But, unfortunately Chili’s done away with their onion chips! The last time, I was in their, I told them you need to get them back!

I've never had any problems with the Bloomin Onion unless it wasn't cooked thoroughly. A good Bloomin Onion has to have some crunch and very little ting to it. Bloomin Onions are pretty tasty, but it's not ordered all the time. Outback understands.

I never avoided the blooming onion from the Outback. Live, laugh and love. You never know when your number is up. So eat the blooming onion and don't feel bad about it.

ask for a fish double one roll 2 fish though small but only same price it seems

Ask for no salt…they will drop it fresh

Knew that for ever you always minus something

If you demand that they throw in a fresh one and are willing to wait, in my town all the McDonald’s will make it fresh.edit: that goes for fries or any other item from cookies to pies biscuits burgers and especially chicken Pattie’s. Almost nobody exploits this as nobody wants to wait an extra 15 to 20 minutes.

@@qua7771 who care the burgers are good and they use them in the chili

It's precooked no matter what

But you're talking about over 25 yrs ago. EVERYTHING has changed. NOTHING is as good as it used to be. It's hard to find a good burger, good fries, a good hot dog, or anything else anymore. Same goes for pizza, Chinese food... I worked at a KFC over 50 yrs ago. The chicken isn't even cut up the same as it used to be. I'll surely appreciate what we have available now, though, if they start convincing the population that bugs are delicious & nutritious🤢

Patrick, I have an Arby's story that just happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was on my way home and at 9:44 pm on 2/8/23 (I'm looking at the receipt as I write this) I decide to hit the Arby's drive-thru to pick up a sandwich for myself and my grandson who lives with me. The sandwich that I chose for myself was the French Dip & Swiss. I used to like that sandwich with the Au Ju gravy to dip it in. I noticed that in the last couple years they put less & less Au Ju in the cup for the sandwich to the point that it was only half full. Well, when I got home I discovered that they gave me the cup of gravy, but no sandwich. Maan, I was hungry, too. I had also ordered 2 for $4.99 Arby Melts for us for later, so at least I had something to eat. I called the Arby's on the phone to let them know that they didn't give me my sandwich and if they could make note somehow that they owed me a sandwich- $6.19. It was 10:00 pm now and the Arby's is 2 miles away. I would have driven back but they told me they closed at 10 but if I gave them my name they would give me my sandwich when I came back. So I proceeded to eat my measly Arby Melt and figured I could at least enhance it with my surprisingly nearly full cup of Au Ju. I dip my sandwich in it and... UGH, WTHeck?! What IS this, salt water?! What are they giving as Au Ju now? A bullion cube in hot water? Ok, as bad as that was it only gets worse. Nearly a week later I was in the area of the Arby's so I decided to pick us up a couple sandwiches again- they owed me one. I told them that they should have my name there for me to get my sandwich. I was refused.

The leftover process in Wendy's is sound, the meat is either over 140 or in the freezer packed separately by date, used FIFO(First In First Out) after 7 days frozen use or toss. The kitchen standards are well within food handling standards nationwide. The gluten tolerance cross contamination is something to address at each location, raw meats handling is addressed in training. An ex employee at Wendy's.

@Passquale Caiazza i absolutely agree with this 👌

EXACTLY!!!!

We will all die sooner or later,not that I can afford any of this stuff 👍..

People that get proper exercise get away with quite a bit, but we all age eventually.

Live healthy Eat healthy Exercise daily Die anyway. So what I am saying is.... Enjoy all things in moderation. I worked for the airlines and traveled all over the world. I've known many women all over the world. I've been a skydiver, owned a motorcycle and drove in exes of a hundred miles an hour, been backpacking into the wilderness with just what I had on my back, hiked up mountains, snowmobiled to the top of mountain in Iceland, explored the pyramids of Egypt, slept on the beaches in New Zealand with a female German exchange student I met that day, worked for law enforcement in a large metropolitan city, I love to cook and have cooked most of my own meals all my life, my mother is Italian and I learned to cook from her and took it to even higher levels, single most of my life, no children, been on a Kenya safari..... you get the idea. I am in my sixties now and I've lived the greater part of my life, enjoyed my life, and have very few regrets. Had I stayed in the house all my life afraid to venture out or try new and exciting things, I would still be in sixties today without all those great memories, and I would still die when my time comes. So what's the point of not getting out and enjoying life in moderation? Get out and enjoy your life. This is not a dress rehearsal and you don't get a do-over.

But does it taste good

Cooked before package

No, you are, not alone. Overpriced, not good coffee and snacks.

Good, one less person in front of me 😂

I'm surprised that the Philadelphia Starbucks is still open.

I’m not *too* picky about my coffee, but I will never ever go to a Starbucks again, after one trip 20 years ago. It tasted like poison, & if I wanted to drink poison, I’d open a bottle of mercurochrome & drink that. I don’t like fish, so I won’t touch a fish sandwich of any sort anywhere. I used to love Arby’s Beef n Cheddar til I came across gristle in my meat. MAJOR turn off. Love their turkey sandwiches, tho. But then again, what can you do to ruin a turkey club or turkey ranch & bacon, turkey & swiss or even Arby’s turkey gyro.

As someone who used to be a McDonald’s employee, at our store we also made new filets rather regularly and the old ones would be thrown away.

@@lorahughes7050 yes, the stores local to me sure took a nosedive. They USED TO HAVE doggone good burgers. Food AND service is poor. I always order my burger with "no cheese, please", but more often than not I recieve a mushy(microwaved?) cheese goo-burger instead of a hot & fresh burger off the grill.

I know from cooking at home that this is true. Not to mention all the various foods that have been in the fryer. I don't eat fast food. It's better to learn how to prepare a meal. Then you know what's in it.

I am mostly vegetarian, and mostly cook all my meals, grain-based. But, a McDonald’s filet-o-fish is a taste sensation. Had a job at McDonald’s almost 5 decades ago, and I are them constantly. Quite delicious, with the steamed buns. All other McDonald’s sandwiches are toasted. Delicious sandwiches,

@@rogerrosen2323 well, that’s truly a whopping big fish sandwich

@@rogerrosen2323 but, there is a wonderful distinctive taste with a McDonald’s fish filet. I would choose it over a restaurant in a 5 star hotel. I know that’s insane. But, I seldom eat them now, for health purposes. It’s a very delicate sandwich with great tartar sauce, a delicate steamed bun, a little crisp crunch on the fish and the hint of cheese. I have tried others, including BK, which I trashed. Oddly enough, it is Donald Trump’s favorite sandwich. You know, if you are always watching your diet and eating 95% at home, you really crave the taste sensation of fast food when you splurge, over quality. You become so sick of quality. After six months in a foreign country, I finally found a Subway. Bought a six inch sub, egg salad, with every topping available, including hot peppers. It was a sensational taste. But, as far as satisfying hunger, I had to finish off by buying street food. The sub was a mere appetizer, but, a delicious appetizer.

Thank u. Jacob !!🙂👍

Those fish sandwiches are high as hell but they are good.

@@joetroutt7425 I love them. Just had one a few days ago. Extra tartar sauce. Still alive and kicking

I think egg McMuffin is the healthiest item, last I checked, but I personally like the filet o’ fish. I also don’t think this video was right about the fish being left out for a long time. I’ve never had a filet o’ fish that didn’t taste fresh or like it had been left out or microwaved. The Patties probably sit in the freezer for a long time before being fried up, but they can keep for a long time in the freezer. Gimme my filet o’ fish!!

@@potownrob back in the 80s mcdonalds used to just make sandwiches and slide them down tray under warmer and when you order 1 they grab it from warmer rack for faster order processing. basically by time you pay food is handed to you from warmers. since the fish was less common there may be 1 or 2 sitting there for 15 minutes where as the regular burgers would sell as fast as they could reload the warmer rack. now days and for some time now mcdonalds or at least everyone i been to makes the sandwiches after they are ordered to allow people to customize them and get them fresh from the cooker. you just got to wait 5 minutes or so. the regular burgers are made with frozen patties of course but they get restocked daily i think. the quarter pounders are never frozen and do taste better. if you want a big mac ask to use the quarter pounder patties instead regular. its worth paying little extra. or just get double quarter and ask for big mac sauce and skip extra carbs and gluten of 3rd bun piece.

@@SgtJoeSmith hi Sarge, I unfortunately remember going to McDo in the 80s and 90s and seeing the burgers sitting on the racks. I’m not sure when they switched to making the burgers to order, but they were definitely doing it by the late 90s, and I worked there in 2000-01. I remember the burger patties sitting in the heated trays with timers that the cooks often ignored at least for one cycle. I worked the front counter and drive-thru, and I don’t remember anyone trying to order a Big Mac with two quarter patties (let alone half pound patties which we had at that time for the big tasty (or big nasty as we called it), and don’t remember there even being an option to upgrade to the bigger patties. I don’t think we even took credit cards back then. I remember them serving old chicken patties and nuggets that had been sitting in the trays, but can’t remember about the fish. If a customer asked for something fresh (be it burgers, chicken or fish), we would grill/fry it fresh for them as long as they were ok with waiting a few minutes for it. People like to order fries without salt just to get fresh fries, when they could just ask for fresh fries and we’ll make them fresh. They’ll just have to wait a few minutes for it.

@potownrob back in 90s my mom or me in college would order fries without salt to get them hot. Plus we thought they were better without salt. And I'm talking now days for better big Mac ask for the quarter patties cause they are the non frozen patties currently where as big Mac uses the frozen ones like they always have

@EagleEye i think that there are other coffee shops that are better than Starbucks, It's way too overrated 🤷

I do. I love them

It is my favorite thing next to the nuggets. I always getbit with my points from the app. Filet O' Fish is tasty. Used to be tastier but they have to mix the fish they used to use with another now. Before, no one was dishing this fish except for McDonald's. Then everyone found out how tasty and now it's depleting.

@Doug Spooner at over $5 for a nasty burger I'll pass. I get nuggets and soda and breakfast sandwiches. When I get the Filet O' Fish, I get it free with my points.

Well, for one thing several yrs back, if you remember the last recession we had for one they done away with the COD and, instead they went with the cheaper cut, which isn’t as good as the COD, it isn’t fit to eat! That’s like they used to have the best sausage patties and, I always got 2 sausage biscuits when, we always went through the drive thru window! Well, during that recession they also went with a cheaper cut of sausage and, it isn’t near as good neither, a lot of people notice these things and, if you don’t bring back those quality products you used to have, it’s the quickest and, easiest way to lose a person’s business!

I work there and it's a process that takes hours to do as everything must be santized and washed properly. Taken apart carefully and put together the same way. Takes months to memorize there are so many peices to it. So they do it once a week. They need to have someone from Taylor come in and do it daily most McDonald's only have 1 maintenance guy and it can't fall on him everyday as he has other jobs to do daily.

They have a tendency to break and the maker has a contract with McDonald's that only they can service them

@@mnicrashSoren our rarely goes down but yeah they do and Taylor makes stacks on it breaking down.

@@DaBeastu I'm sure there is a lot to it and it's very important to keep it clean, as it affects the public's health. I think having someone come in who specializes in it is a great idea! It takes the pressure off of someone who might not be as careful and efficient as you. Thanks!

@@lindahandley5267 I don't disagree but I also don't own it. Would never want to I know how much owners get ripped off it's a wonder they break down so much

But how long ago was it that you worked there? I think Wendy's food quality has more recently declined. The burgers seem more microwaved to me than grilled anymore. They used to be pretty darn good burgers.

My granddaughter brought me a double cheese burger. One bite, threw the rest away. Absolutely no beef taste. Must have been kangaroo meat.

I don’t even remember my McDonald’s in Iowa ever having them

@@erniejones5008 don't know about yours but in Mason we did at both locations, it didn't last very long, literally about a month or so, they didn't really sell very well, but we did have them plus it must have been 6 or 7 years ago

I miss the dipped cones!! Nothing better

Those were sooo good

@Penny Giller actually other coffee shops are better than Starbucks. I think the place became overrated 🤔

The pastries at Starbucks are usually stale. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

What else do you put on your tuna sandwich besides mayonnaise? Do you add tomato or cheese? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
