i’m wondering if there’s cameras in the kitchen area? is there anything stopping them from just putting their fluids on the food? i try to be as nice as possible but im still worried they might tamper with it somehow

### **What Is the Fast Food of the Drive-Through?**

The fast food of the drive-through is usually a hamburger and French fries. Or fries and a hamburger. Or french fries and a cheeseburger. Or, more rarely, a cheeseburger and fries. I don't think you could get fries and a cheeseburger anywhere, except in certain places in the Midwest. But you could get them in a McDonald's. And fries are the quintessential fast food of the drive-through.

One of my colleagues at the University of Oklahoma refers to fries as "deep-fried potato sticks." This is one of those terms that seems kind of silly at first but grows on you. What, you ask, is a "deep-fried potato stick"? Well, to explain, we have to think about deep-frying. You take a French fry—or potato stick—and put it in a tub of deep-frying oil. The oil heats up to between 300°F and 400°F. As the oil heats, it rises to the surface of the oil. It does this for several minutes, until it reaches the surface of the oil. This is when it looks like the fry is ready. It will start to get puffy. It might even have bubbles on top. The fry is very hot, so you have to be careful. And this is where a fry comes into its own. To keep it from burning your fingers, you use tongs to remove it from the oil. You do this by hand, because if you grab the fry with your hand, it could be a slippery mess. I know because I tried it. In fact, I was so impressed with the tongs that I eventually learned how to do it. It's a learned art, and it can be an impressive party trick.

Wendys Chef here, current salary is 98k/year, hows McDonalds my fellow industry companion

The fries were way too salty and the burger wasn't as good as a whopper. It was my first time going to wendy's so idk maybe it's just a bad wendy's. Yeah so that's my story. I hope Ashley is happy.

I had a moment like this the other day when a girl walked in front of me at Walmart. She was kinda tall and had thin legs and an amazing ass and I thought about raising kids with here and going snowboarding but now shes gone forever

>>16724179
>start fantasizing about marrying and having children with a girl you just saw and will never see again

What the fuck is the McChicken sauce?

>>16724536
that's a highly guarded company secret. If I spill the beans they'll McMurder my entire family, and I mean everybody down to my cousins 6th removed

>>16723989
can i get uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh

>>16723989
How do you get the hydrolized vegetable fats on the civilian market?
The specially engineered oils that give meat identical flavors to vegetables you fry in?

Like MSM I believe this is the largely unrecognized secret ingredient and I Iview it as entirely legitimate

>>16724536
We don't even have it in my country, but my understanding is that most of the sauces are composites of other "base" sauces.
Mayo mixed with ranch makes big Mac, sweet and sour is one of the soda syrups mixed with "sour".

I strongly suspect employees aren't even aware of this, the same shit just comes with two different labels for logistics reasons.
It's only when you blind test fanta and sprite you realize it's the same fucking drink in different colors

>>16725344
dude, it's salt

>>16723989
How does the transition from lunch menu to breakfast even work?
I had a craving for nuggies early one morning and drove up literally just as the menu changed and getting them to sell me nuggies was like pulling teeth, and they only let me have one box as it was all they had supposedly.

This is why you always just try anons
Introduce yourself, compliment something, be upfront and tell them why you're talking to them, ask for a number with the intention of setting up a date.
Worst case scenario, she says no. Best case you get a date.

We leave a final batch of cooked breakfast items sitting in the incubation chamber during the transition period. It is expected that fatfucks will try to get their last minute sausage mcmuffin while lunch is being prepared. Sometimes it's not enough, so it is a pain in the ass to go to the local farmer's market to get some more ingredients for the breakfast items when the entire kitchen has shifted to lunch mode

>>16725359
>Mayo mixed with ranch is Big Mac
Nigga Big Mac sauce is just thousand island

>>16725583
Do you acrually have the balls and energy to do this yourself?

>>16726744
I legitimately don't know what this is

>>16726991
A lot easier said than done, of course

>>16727522
It's a salad dressing

>>16723989
What's it like being a slave for a coporate overlord?

>>16723989
why are the breakfast sausage burritos always cold in the middle?

Is it because it is not freshly cooked but frozen and microwaved?

>>16727522
>>16727531
ketchup, mayo, mustard, and pickle relish all mixed together

>>16727530
feels good mayne
>>16727574
the recipe requires adding an ice cube to the center of the burrito whilst cooking. Don't know why

>>16725344
>hydrolized oils
its literally in the name, they just hydrate the oil once its hot by adding water

>>16726744
>>16727608
Though it should be noted that Big Mac sauce contains no ketchup or tomatoes.

>>16724536
McChicken sauce (or Mayo-style Sauce) is mayonnaise with mustard powder added. Since mayo doesn't typically contain mustard by definition, they have to call it something different in countries where mustard is required to be listed as an allergen.
The US has reduced allergen listing requirements, so it's usually listed as Mayonnaise despite including mustard.

(The US requires the "Top 8" most common food allergies be listed, which account for 90% of all food allergies. Other countries extend this to the "Top 14", which account for around 95% of all food allergies.)

>>16728285
dont do this is creates mustard gas

>>16728249
>putting water in hot oil

>>16728333
problem?

>>16725359
>mayo mixed with ranch
you either have no idea what ranch is or no idea what big mac sauce is
>fanta and sprite
yea sure you cant taste the difference between a sweet orange and an acidic lemon.
where the fuck are you from?

I hear you guys get crazy hours. So is the pay worth or what? My buddy from HS went all in working at a McDonald's for 4 years during school. Whenever we weren't at school, he was working. When graduation came around, he just bounced. Saved up a bunch of money and just moved to CA. That's what everyone says anyway...I don't think his parents would help him out with that.

>>16728337
Not mine.

>>16724165
I find myself doing this often too only I fantasize about what their bare ass would smell and taste like
