Reason 1,823,546 why I never eat at McDonald's.

rw

You think that McDonald's is the only place this thing happens at?

nah, i am sure there are others, this is just another reason why i never eat at Micky D's.

These activities are the major reason I don't frequent these establishments but then if people really knew what goes on, not only in fast food chains or restraunts but in the food industry in general, they'd choke. I've worked quality control in a few food industries and what I saw made me leary of any processed food. Cigarette butts in the mix, spoiled meat mixed in with fresh and other things I can't comment on. Not saying it's all bad.... most isn't but your certainly taking your chances.

This has been going on since I was a teenager. And that's a long time ago. It's pretty common if you piss someone off in the fast food industry. I remember spit, wiping the floor with the food, picking one's nose and wiping on food. The drive thru fast food restaurants are perfect for that. Enjoy.

I fix almost all my meals at home when possible. Mainly because it's cheaper though ; )

The only remarkable thing about this is he got caught - idiot forgot to stir :D

I worked at McD as a teen, and stuff like this happened all the time. I think that's the reason their restaurants nowadays have those open cooking bays where customers from the lobby can see all steps of the food preparation process.

Kinda like the Pizza Hut pizza I orderd for carry out. Didn't realize my wife's ex (hispanic) was working there and the pizza got home and was found to be soaked in piss. The smell reminded me of Corona beer.

Effing children..... if you don't like working at McD's then find another job!!!!! I effing hate ass hole kids.

That would have qualified him for the 2 x 4 to the forehead award.

Idiot needs to remember that there are nut jobs out there that may come back for a little payback. A knife in the gut, bullet to the brain, severe beating, etc. Was it really worth it, when you consider that the mistake was his to begin with? They ordered sweetened tea. He wasn't paying attention, so they sent it back. Whatever happened to "Opps, sorry. My mistake. I'll fix that for you right away! And the drinks are free!" Little a$$hole needs his butt kicked.

I recall Jessie Jackson once saying that when he was young and working at a restaurant he used to spit in the food of white people. Does that tell us anything?

@ TonyinWyo-

What the hell does your wifes ex being Hispanic have to do with a damn thing? That was an odd thing to say.

Human - It makes perfect sense.....to a racist.

I recall Jessie Jackson once saying that when he was young and working at a restaurant he used to spit in the food of white people. Does that tell us anything?

It tells us he was an angry young black man who did something disgusting when he was young. Why? What did you think it should tell us?

The kid made a mistake on the order and instead of just politely correcting the error, he decided to act like an idiot. This type of behavior is, unfortunately, not all that uncommon these days. Customer service has gone down the tubes and you can forget about the old adage of "the customer is always right." Now this kids stupidity is going to result in his having a criminal record following him around for the rest of his life.

I have to laugh at the owner of the McDonald's with his comment:

"Nothing is more important to me than the safety and wellbeing {sic} of my customers. I want to assure my customers that my restaurant has the most stringent food safety and quality standards and I caution anyone from reaching a conclusion without the facts,"

How many more facts does he need on top of the video showing the kid spitting in the cups, "[a]ccording to an arrest warrant, Washington was seen on video leaning his face down to the drinks before filling them with tea," and the fact that their was phlegm in the drinks. He should be apologizing to the customer and making it known that this kid has been fired, not trying to support the kid by saying people should not jump to conclusions when the facts are pretty obvious.

Hey, Marvin was looking out for the welfare of the customers. Phlegm has more nutritional value than McDonalds "food".

You guys are all wrong!!! This is the McPhlegm Tea, it's an improvement to their standard tea.

The sad fact remains that the phlegm in the tea probably added a certain amount of nutrition that was certainly not there before.

this is happening more than reported at a lot of fast food service places; low paid minority's , getting back at the people driving up in their fancy cars; law enforcement personnel are the ones most affected mostly in the big city's.

Hold the phlegm please ....

Oyster Rockefeller flavor tea?

Yes, "... never upset the people who handle your food or your money." When I eat out, I always, always wonder what the staff, behind closed doors, do to my food. I'm always polite and I tip well but, you never know.

When I was a teenager, back in the sixties in Shreveport, Louisiana, I worked at a (today's largest) fast-food restaurant and was told by another teenage employ who had transferred jobs from a competitor that one of his co-workers, at the other restaurant, had conducted a vile act on the grill which was hidden from view unlike our grill/prep-area which was visible through windows to folks on the outside--they could see everything we did. (Notice that the prep-areas of the world's largest fast-food restaurant are hidden from view now-a-days.) Rather than spread ice or water over the hot grill to simmer and, later, be scraped to remove any stuck, burnt meat on the grill (a common procedure conducted at my restaurant as well) into the catch basin for grill drippings, this young person, at the other restaurant, peed on the grill in lieu of ice/water to be humorous. Then, he laid out the next batch of hamburger patties. I'm sure the heat of the grill destroyed any chance of (enter your worst nightmare here) from being transferred to any of the patties but it's the thought of the act which is sickening.

As businesses cut back during the current economic mess we find ourselves in today, adults (higher-paid employees) in supervisory positions are considered to be unaffordable luxuries (Is your business reputation not worth it?) to be cut loose (fired, sacked or not hired to begin with) leaving young, low-wage earners free reign in your stores. I'm not knocking young people except to say that they haven't, yet, developed the maturity to know the importance of, what seems to them to be, small matters which can become disastrous. Remember the YouTube incident from a popular pizza restaurant chain a couple of years ago where a female employee recorded her male co-worker, supposedly, doing nasty things to pizzas? No adult supervision was present that day/evening. That restaurant no longer exists. (Then of course, we have adult members of the Secret Service misbehaving which, almost, blows my argument.)

The point I wish to make is that adult supervision is not only necessary but it should always be a requirement in all businesses.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Do you have the proof that this is happening all the time by miniorities. I see other races working for McDonalds all the time. Does a fancy car or law enforcement set the standards for when this is done? No, just another racist attempting to put it all on the black man again.

I was at a diner and witnessed the white cook blowing snot into the eyes, was this a minority too? Saxon, you are such a racist bastard. Hope you go eat out very soon, maybe your white estabishment will treat you better. ROFLOL

This is one of the reasons I try to be careful where I go if I eat at any food service establishment. If I prepare my own meal at home at least I know what is in it. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes we don't know about. It is disgusting and sad.

howieCA

I recall Jessie Jackson once saying that when he was young and working at a restaurant he used to spit in the food of white people. Does that tell us anything?

It tells us he was an angry young black man who did something disgusting when he was young. Why? What did you think it should tell us?

Well, reverse this whole thing and instead of it being Jackson, say it was Glenn Beck doing this to blacks when he was a kid. Then what do you think it would tell you. What would your reaction be??

My reaction in that area would be to never eat at the McDonalds again then all the little punks would find themselves out of a job if enough of us did that.

Unreal but .. this has been going on forever.. I know some people cant believe this..

When I was a kid (16) and worked in a fast food joint, they cleaned the grill with acid and cooked on them at the same time (area). We called them acid burgers..! The oil for the chicken fryer was cleaned about every 4 days.. dirty oil is crispy chicken! We use to have tartar sauce battles in the walk ins!

I heard about guys there who used to piss in the Dr Pepper .. so go figure!

angelene; you are clueless as to who or what I am; yes it is a fact, that Minority's are the largest employees in fast food low paid restaurants; yes, law enforcement must be very cautious , did you ever notice, that you do not see police cars going thru drive up windows, instead they go inside to watch their food being prepared; because a certain segment of people are the one's doing this the most, it is not raciest to speak about the problem, today's world is a lot different than the dream world that you believe exists.

Saxon - Can you show me the data? I would think that teenagers make up the bulk of employees at fast food restaurants.

A teenage McDonald's employee...

Yeah, a19 y.o. teenager - AN ADULT TEEN.

Could BSNBC minimize this any more?

bmilleroh; natl. institute of work and learning 1200 18th st., Washington d.c., that was the last address i had on them, they broke it down by segments in the nation; in some areas as much as 90% were youing minority's. as you go up the ladder into full service restaurants, Longhorn, outback, appelbees, chilis; it changes drastically, due to the earnings from tips, and the benefits paid.

"Cream in your coffee?"

"Not lately."

Jake the Duck - LOL, you asked and answered your question in the same comment.

(Referring to a statement about Jesse Jackson spitting in white people's food...)

Well, reverse this whole thing and instead of it being Jackson, say it was Glenn Beck doing this to blacks when he was a kid. Then what do you think it would tell you. What would your reaction be??

I'd say he was a big-mouthed white guy who did something disgusting when he was young. Why? What should it tell me? That he's a racist? Ok, that's possible.

But going back to the Jesse Jackson reference, what was THAT supposed to be telling me? That *he's* a racist? Ok, again, that's possible. But what does that have to do with the article? Wet Willy hasn't responded with what he was trying to imply. Do you know?

saxon (KKK name if ever there was one); they also put out false stories like this to prove how racist people are - you passed - go collect your white sheet.

I thought I was so grown up when I was between the ages of 18 to 25 - now that age group looks like little kids. Thankfully I just said stupid stuff at that age - to actually do stupid stuff like this would haunt me forever. I'm my own worst critic - how others do what they do and to not be bothered by it is unexplainable. saxon and Nelson won't give their comments a second thought - which explains why they don't give their first remarks/actions any thought... daddy taught them well.

drainbramage; your name and comments fit your name perfectly.

Now, now; we all know that McDonald's employees are too well-paid and content to ever do anything malicious to a customer's order...

</sarcasm>

howieCA 1.36 & Others

I actually need to respond to articulate what I was implying? Remember, I'm not accusing anyone of anything; the facts do that for themselves. Consider:

Jessie Jackson criticized president Obama over the Jena 6 case for "acting like he was white". What exactly do we think Jessie was implying?

Jesse Jackson once referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown".
Unknown to Jessie, his comments were published forcing a faux apology from him.

Jessie Jackson was among the first to condemn and convict (in the media) the Duke lacrosse players in the rape allegations. He said that all white men fantasize about raping black women, saying this fantasy goes back to the master/slave days.

A little research will uncover much more but I trust I made my point.

Marvin Micky D Washington Jr. ... Hmmmmmm. Please folks, the owner suggests we don't rush to "any" conclusions. WTF does that mean?

When I was young,I was out riding around with 3 friends one night,one of them had a pal who worked at a nearby McDONALDs, and he suggested that we stop over there and see his pal who would give us free food...so we stopped by, my friend ran in,spoke with his pal and ran back out to the car......

We drove around the back and his pal runs out the door with a tray of about 40 freshly cooked hamburgers and we ate well, well, as well as you can say for McDonalds.I asked my friend how it was that his pal could get away without someone noting 40 burgers were missing..."Easy," he said, "They only keep tabs on the numbers of hamburg patties,not the buns, so when he makes up the next tray of "BURGERS", he does NOT put any meat into them,but he just goes extra heavy on the ketchup,mustard and pickles....and people buy them and never come back with a complaint !"

The reality is, that those burgers are tasteless anyway,all you taste is the mustard,ketchup and pickles.....YUMMY.

I wonder if these folks were rednecks with an attitude towards Marvin Washington....do you S'pose ?

Wet Willy - ok, your point is you think Jesse Jackson's a racist. So what's that got to do with the article?

Ok howieCA, what this has to do with the article is; do you think this fellow would have thusly contaminated these drinks if the patrons were black? Jessie didn't spit or otherwise do anything to food ordered by black people either, and you don't see any correlation. Ideology is certainly a debilitating condition, isn't it?

Ideology is certainly a debilitating condition, isn't it?

Now you're really confusing me. What - and whose - ideology are you referring to? I don't have any agenda here. I merely asked what you meant. This was an article about a (black) teenager spitting in someone's food. You said Jesse Jackson did so to white people when he was young, and asked "Does that tell us anything?" Umm, no, it still doesn't tell us anything. So what if there's a similarity? Do you think Jesse Jackson is out there *teaching* kids how to "get whitey"? And do you even know that the victim was white? And why should it even matter? It's disgusting, and a felony, and he should be punished for his crime. Race is irrelevant.

Don't get the clam chowder

And why would pissing on taco bell taco meat make it worse?

I rarely eat where teenagers are handling my food.

Sorry to say Human but it's not just teenagers who do these things. In the places I've worked there were no teenagers just supposed adults.

I rarely eat where teenagers are handling my food.

I suppose you never eat fast food?

My kids babysitter told me one night as I was driving her home, that on the previous weekend, she was at her job at an IHOP, and they were making pancake batter,and that another young worker had an "IDEA", he had an old six-pack of beer in the trunk of his car...it had gone bad, "Spooked" was the word he used,as it had lost its beer flavor sitting in the hot trunk of his auto, and the taste was very-off, and disgusting...now there were 5 remaining cans, so the "IDEA" was to substitute bad beer for milk in the batter, so they poured it all in,had a great laugh, and only one customer comment that Sunday, from a yokel who told his waiter that it was the best "dern" pancake plate he had ever had at IHOP.

Maybe it's me terry but fast food taste better than fresh food. That's also why u won't see a replacement anytime soon.

Terry - It's a lot cheaper, tbh. I can get a McDouble for a buck, but to get the ingredients to make a nice healthy salad at home, works out to be about 3 dollars a serving. Money is tight - I'm going to go for the McDouble.

Crying- And the McDouble gut with a side of cholesterol arteries to go with it!! Not to mention the dollar you think you are saving is just going to be spent on the health care youll have to pay!

That's just lazy; you can eat better food at home for the same cost or less than fast food. Learn to cook.

Honestly its not lazy alot of people dont have the money to spend on all the fresh food its expensive anymore and if you are just going to put people down for not affording fresh food then you are like the rest of the @!$%#s out there. Dont judge before you know details k

It's not just fast food restaurants this happens in. Back in the 80's I worked in a "high class" restaurant (which is still in business) I would see the chef take a spoon and taste what ever he was making and use the same spoon and stir it. I have seen sweat drip off of them as they were standing over the food. A piece of meat would drop on the floor they'd pick it up and cook it. Sh!t like this happens in all types of restaurants not just fast food.

@ Crying shame do you also figure in the cost of the gas and time it takes to go to McD's ? I think you will find your costs being higher than you think.

Just me not if McDonalds is 3 blocks away or at Walmart when you go shopping. The same corners in my town that have the grocery stores also have McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Subway, Jack in the Box, Pizza Hut, Whataburger and Pilos Mexican restaurant.

Maybe it's me terry but fast food taste better than fresh food.

I've been to other countries and fresh food is definitely tastier, so it's just you rkb5555.

Oil...Some parts are edible.

Well a "cook" at a chinese joint locally made a name for himself when he was caught adding the secret ingredient to what became known as "cum drop" soup.

I'll have the cream of SUM YUNG GUY

What year is this, 1984?

tea

This is the culture of America's youth nowadays

They most likely learned it from adults. I've seen videos of adults at work pissing in the coffee pot, pissing on their boss's chair in his office.

Yeah, doesn't it just make you proud to be a human being?

I just knew some #$% would bring up Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, neither of whom has any bearing on this matter. Well, except for those who have a "problem."

Sandie- I saw this little post you put in, maybe you should look into your own "problem". I will admit, I did think it was funny, retarded, but funny.

This was written by Sandie- "Look at the lengths white people will go to in order to cover their, IMO, flat behinds. Deny and obfuscate all you wish, the truth is not in your denials and lies, however, the day is coming soon when you will see the truth, right in your face. Then what?????

Julie, you are just a little late with the Chinese ENtitlement issue, the U.S. paid their reparations for being in the internment camps during WW2 a while ago. I know you are so very tired of hearing the bull about slavery, so on and so forth. Well Julie, I guess you could have simply ignored this forum and gone on about your lily white day. But, my goodness, it seems you chose to post your rant so I guess you really are not tired of hearing about all the bull. Faith and begorrah, or whatever the Irish go on about. Kiss the Blarney stone much?"

tea - Unfortunately, this type of thing has been going on for ages. It's definitely not just youth. I've been waited on by older individuals who behaved as if the world was coming to an end because they had to ring somebody up. Perhaps folks who are that easily perturbed by a customer asking for what they actually ordered or annoyed by customers in general, should seek a profession that isn't in a service industry.

Nowadays? You're more than just a little naive.

This has been happening for a very, very long time, and adults do it just as much as kids. You get any food prep work with behavioral issues, and you never know what sets them off.

The very fabric of human beings is going downhill very rapidly.

Who ate my soup. You can take your we owe you for 400 years crap and stick it where the sun don't shine. The majority of White Americans are descended from people who entered this country between 1880 and 1920. For your information that is 15 years after the end of the Civil War. And almost all of them lived in Northern cities so you can also stuff your Jim Crow BS. I need apologise to no one in this country.

Loner- try again slick, that wasn't my rant, it was all sandie's. Please try to keep up.

Grow up....this was going on when I was a teenager 50 years ago....you say something nasty or snappy to the pimple-faced minimum wage worker at a restaurant, and, given the chance,he'll drop a toenail onto your condiments, or a big gooey lungah.........the folks in this story complained twice to the kid about their "Sweet-tea", what the heck is "Sweet-tea" ? why did'nt they just scoop up 40 packs of tea and take it to go...sweet-tea ? I bet they weigh in,like a lot of Southern-Belles, at 200 lbs and up........diet tea is what they'll order from now on !!

Do u have some kind of agenda

I'm sure somehow someone will manage to say that is a false article, or that it is a misprint, or just another attempt for white people to subjugate the blacks.

Then reasoning intelligent humans will have to throw the BS flag

wichasha

So the 19 year old learned it from reading an article in Life from 1969?

Kim- or just by surfing the internet.

What the F*CK does that article have to do with today's news??? Are you getting paid to be a racist or is this all for free???

A fiend of mine sent back his steak twice. The rest of us told him "Man, you are asking for it!".

@Wichasha,

Just for you know what and giggles, I clicked the link you provided, It was, as expected, much ado about nothing. There is no identifiable source for that "article." Anyone could have written that. It looks and sounds like something the Aryan Nation would put out. The fact that you treat it as a fact, somehow, does not surprise me. Heil Hitler y'all.

Sandie

Yeah, the unidentifiable JOHN PEKKANON. I'm sure his sources completely made that up. As did the others who made up the rest of the items on the list shown at the left side of the site. Click it again.

@wichasha,

I took note of the name John PekkANEN. I look him up as well. I also took note that the site is an "educational" parody (their phrase, not mine) so I, obviously, question the motive(s) regarding the quality of the "educational" material.

Very wise! I once worked in a very, very upscale restaurant-waiters all in tuxedos, etc. Whenever someone returned their food, the chef would spit on it/in it or sometimes worse. NEVER RETURN FOOD!!!

I will tell the manager get a refund and then never eat there again.

Not to mention low pay and manipulation of actual hours worked to avoid paying overtime to increase profitability, a common practice among McDonalds franchisees. What this dirtbag did is abhorrent, and so are the practices of some franchise holders.

Custom1911

Yeah blame the employer! No such thing as personal responsibility, especially if you happen to be a black teen.

Please read and comprehend, Tony...that's not what I said at all. There is no excuse for what this "black teen" or any other person did. The point is that some McD's franchisees are in violation of labor laws daily.

TonyinWyo has made several comments about race on here already. He has said enough to make me think that he is just an angry bigot. I would disregard anything else he has to say. It's not likely to be an informed or intelligent comment.

Thing of it is, TonyinWyo, the kid was a white teen, not a black teen. Stupidity is equal opportunity (tho’ it seems the GOP has more than it’s share now).

I suppose the fact that the President is black is not why the call him muslim, debate the birth certificate idiocy, say he’s not from this country, ad nauseam?

That’s just like saying Romney’s a member of the KKK and has multiple wives is not because he’s white or a mormon...

Gawd... stupid people shouldn’t breed.

What now TonyinWyo? What now that the person is white? That sound you hear is........NOTHING! Guess facts confuse Tony. Or maybe he is out talking to the other person who lives in Wyoming.

LOL. I know what you mean. They just might happen to meet with an unexplained "accident"?

Perfect punishment.. Grab the little azzwipe, hold him down and then do the "little brother loogie trick" on him... Geez, how many times WILL I suck it back in. or just beat his azz till he can't spit anymore, that's good too.

Bigot.

TonyinWyo......Powerful contribution!

TonyinWyo....funny but sadly true.

It is sad for the other employees but that is just what will probably happen not to mention if Washington does have any communicable disease that bumps his little stunt up to assault. And his parents are open to suit by the people he pulled this stunt on. Hope they love hiring a lawyer.

It really has to hurt to be TonyinWyo...

Has to hurt worse to be his parents/family.

TonyinWyo,

The perp is white, so I guess the perp is hanging out with his "homers." DOH to you!

As disgusting as this story is, your comment is clever and made me laugh.

Why not beat the phlegm out of him?

Or how about stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp it dry. LOL

Not saying what this kid did was right, but how sure are we that the woman and daughter weren't teetotalling bitches about it? I've got lots of friends in different areas of food service from fast food to very upscale, and the only time someone messes with the food is if they're complete @!$%#s. (The customer not the food person)

Nah I'd be a real law abiding citizen and sue his parents for everything they have and the restaurant. Might as well make a buck off of it.

Doesn’t matter if the woman and her daughter were “teetotaling bitches” about it. They were customers, his job was to fill the order correctly and move ‘em on. Are you saying that if they were real beaches, the hocker in the tea was OK?

What an incredibly inane thing to say or even suggest. If the customers were rude, then send them on their way. Tell ‘em to get lost. Don’t ever do anything that could possibly harm them. Why? Because at the very least, they could sue the pants off you. Worst case is daddy could come back after you got off work and teach you a lesson you wouldn’t soon forget.

What ever happened to civility and common decency?

Like I said what he did wasn't right, but obviously those of you who are bitching have never worked in the food service industry, there are people out there, who will never be happy no matter what, and they will treat you like you're the scum of the earth, used to happen to me all the time, what they didn't know was that this was my THIRD job so I could pay my way through college while trying to raise my daughter. You know not to be a welfare mom, I never did anything to anyones food, but I thought about it more than once.

You people are obviously from the North and have no idea what sweet tea is, sweet tea in fast food places are just like regular tea it comes pre-made then you "boil" it through the big metal tea jugs y'all see.

civility and common decency would be to not treat the Fast Food worker like they're less than human in the first place.

Crack salesman or alley BJ sales, ala Tyrone Biggums.

Well he messed with the iced tea, maybe he will move on to skittles.

Oh don't worry he will qualify for unemployment when that runs out he will get welfare..after all "its not his fault" he is entiled to a job you know...

You bigots know if you go outside once in awhile you would be shocked and amazed by the fact that in real life no-one gives 2 sh*ts about what you think of anyone...

I think willie boy is wrong.

;-D

Tony (#23.2)

I'm trying not to laugh because ... that was a terrible thing to say. But, you caught me off guard with that one. A little dark somber/ghastly/gruesome/horrid (pick one) humour doesn't hurt ... normally.

Guess what Will Cousin I don't give a damn what you think either. I owe you nothing so take your victim attitude and stuff it.

Casterating bulls?

Certainly Mr. Cousin cares for us! or he wouldn't have messaged us at all.

This demonstrates the problem with stupid people............the spitter is white!!!!!!. But, hey, why bring FACT into the discussion. LOL!!!!!!

Sandy -

The spitter was a young black man. See the picture published.

FACT not lie or ignorant supposition.

You're an ass! For the record, smart ass, food and produce you buy from the market can be contaminated, idiot!

Doesn't need to be 'contaminated' if it's made of pink slime and mechanically separated chicken.

I continued my research and found the address: Northeast Main Street in Simpsonville
