Fast food workers reveal what’s best never to order

When it comes to fast food, anyone who says it’s unhealthy is absolutely right. But even in establishments of this type, food can be divided into two types: acceptable and that which is better not to consume under any circumstances. Employees of restaurants and fast food outlets revealed on the social network Reddit what kind of food is best never to order.

O awesome.club gathered the most useful and applicable tips so that you don’t harm your health by eating certain foods.

I worked in a cafe, and nobody there cleaned the juice machines. When I took one of them apart, it was so horribly dirty I don’t know how they managed to use it. @kikiorangutan

I worked in a theater for two years. Message me in private and I’ll tell you what it is. Don’t order coffee there. It will probably be the worst coffee you’ve ever had, and it’s possible that the drink has been ready for hours. Some coffee shops even use the same powder multiple times. @cleversystem

Burger King has decaf coffee, but don’t drink it. Whenever someone ordered one of these, my manager would simply tell me to serve a regular one. @halnation

I work at a movie theater in my city, and the soda machines are never cleaned. Employees usually just take the nozzles off and put them in a bucket of water. I don’t know how often this water is changed. Sometimes I try to clean the machines myself, but I never have enough time. Be careful when drinking soda from machines. @Techasyte

Anyone who values ​​health should not order Mocha at Starbucks. The drink has a lot of harmful and artificial ingredients. Even the preparation is unpleasant. @majortom12

I’m an employee at a coffee shop/bakery. We don’t serve anything terrible, but you should know that most of the products arrive frozen. Soups, meats, pies, pasta with cheese, everything is frozen. I also want to warn you that dishes like pasta with cheese are a calorie blast. It is better to avoid abusing them. @angry_jets_fan

I worked in a Chinese chain of restaurants. The ingredients were of high quality, but when serving the food they choose to use small shells, to give the impression that the portions are larger than they really are. @noodlez5120

I also worked in a cinema. I advise no one to order hot dogs. They are made with products that can be stored for a long time. Also, if the sausage is fried, the oil may have been reused. @afihavok

Do not order drinks with ice. I worked at Starbucks for almost nine years, in several of the chain’s restaurants, and in all of them the ice machines were rarely cleaned. Generally speaking, the machine is only cleaned once a month, before the inspection arrives. It’s just that they only clean the outer parts. This is not to say that this is the case on all units, but it is better to be careful. @Kellidra

Do not consume ice from machines in restaurants. Machines are rarely clean, and tests always reveal the presence of bacteria. @Smugcrab

Don’t order Frappuccino or Mocha. They are 80% sugar syrup and only 10% coffee. It may be a coincidence, but customers who consume these drinks every day have skin problems. During preparation, before adding coffee, they fill the cup almost halfway with sugar in the form of syrup, plus some additives. @honorablemole

I work at the Sbarro pizzeria chain, famous in New York. While nothing on the menu is good for you, spaghetti is the worst thing you can order. Too much salt and butter in the recipe. @Timothyre99

Don’t eat the KFC salad. I’ve worked in the packaging industry, and most employees pore over the salad without a hairnet. Also, instead of elbow-length gloves, they wear short rubber gloves. @mrwhite_2

I’m a former manager of Pizza Hut. In many large pizzeria chains, all products are delivered frozen, including the dough. In the evening we receive the food, and in the morning we defrost everything we need. There’s nothing wrong with that, but most smaller pizzerias use fresh ingredients, which of course tastes much better and is healthier. @SuramiElGato

A friend of mine worked at a McDonald’s for a while. He told me they never cleaned the ice cream machine, they just filled it forever. Don’t order their ice cream! @conman357

I worked at a McDonald’s when I was in high school. If you don’t place your order at peak times, the burger may not be fresh, but may be ready between one and three hours earlier. To receive a fresher burger, ask that it be prepared without sauces. And for fresher fries, ask for unsalted. @Drakengard

Never order tuna salad at Subway. They put a lot of mayonnaise and not enough fish. Also, the ingredients don’t arrive early in the morning. Products such as meat, cheese, vegetables and bread have been there since the day before. Cooks need to use up leftovers before starting to cook with fresh produce. @catsnbrains

That’s true, I also worked at Subway. The tuna sandwich should be called a mayonnaise sandwich. After all, it’s a 50-to-50 mix. I remember once opening a mayonnaise bag and putting more than half of it on a single sandwich. @ronrunronne

It’s not always just about the products served in restaurants. I stayed with a health inspector, and he taught me a trick: before ordering food, we should go to the bathroom to wash our hands. If the toilet is dirty or soap is not available, it is best to go eat somewhere else. @zerozingzing

I’m a McDonald’s employee and I’m also going to share a little tip: if you order a cookie, ask for one that’s fresh. It will take a few more minutes, but your dessert will come out much tastier. Otherwise, you will receive a cookie that may have been stored for several hours. @alarson26

Do you usually go to any of these restaurants we mentioned?

What kind of dishes do you order? How do you try to ensure that food is fresh?
