McDonald’s employee in Brazil answers unusual questions from internet users about working at the restaurant

Even if you don’t frequent McDonald’s, chances are you’ve heard certain popular myths about this gigantic chain of fast food🇧🇷

In Brazil, one of the most famous rumors is the existence of a “secret menu”, with rice and beans. There are also those who say that employees can assemble snacks as they wish for their own consumption. Want to know if this is all true?

A McDonald’s employee answered some unusual questions about the chain on Reddit. We, from awesome.club, we have gathered the most curious topics and we are dying to tell you. Oh, and in the end, we left one bonus🇧🇷 Check out!

You may remember that, in the old days, McDonald’s had a system where the kitchen staff placed little signs with numbers next to the sandwiches that were ready. They represented time, as the snack has a 15-minute “expiration” after production.

So, when an attendant was going to get a sandwich, he should get the “oldest” snack. Currently, ordering is done on the spot.

Of course, the career plan varies according to the location and management of the McDonald’s, but a good attendant takes an average of 1 to 2 years to become a coach.

Have you ever eaten the ingredients of McDonald’s sandwiches separately? Customers say these separate pieces are extremely bland. The secret of the chain’s flavor, according to the employee, are the sauces — and that’s all.

Vegetarians often say that McDonald’s French fries are “no” because they would be made in animal fat. However, the official said that, in fact, the oil used is of vegetable origin.

According to the publication on Reddit, the frequency that kitchen utensils are washed is random. Sometimes they go all day without being cleaned. “Then they end up with that white fat crust on them”, said the employee (did he really need to add this information? 😅).

There is a “trick” to avoid soggy fries: just ask for no salt. Thus, employees are forced to fry a new batch.

“1 Burger, no mustard, no ketchup, no onions, no pickles, no meat, no regular bun, no salt”.

If you’ve been told that McDonald’s employees “get revenge” on unpleasant customers by messing with their lunch… know that this is probably a myth. According to the publication on Reddit, there are cameras everywhere in the kitchen of certain franchises, which prevents any behavior in this regard.

According to the McDonald’s employee, chocolate is the least ordered ice cream flavor. With the disuse of the machine, the dough ends up becoming soft and, therefore, they cannot be used. That is why this problem turns out to be frequent.

Another “urban myth” that exists about McDonald’s is that all employees can assemble snacks with the ingredients they want for their own consumption. But that’s not true, as the only ones who can assemble the food as they want are the managers.

That’s exactly what you read: McDonald’s has a secret menu, with an executive dish that only “shows up” when requested by customers. According to the publication on Reddit, it is “the worst food you can eat”.

The secret menu, made basically for the consumption of the employees, has rice and beans, a meat and they can also take lettuce in strips and 3 slices of tomato.

The employee responded that in his early days working at McDonald’s, he asked for a glove to clean the bin, but the woman who was doing his training said it wasn’t necessary. “I spent 2 days smelling like spoiled chocolate mixed with grape juice and meat fat, not even a long shower helped to get rid of that smell. Nowadays I use gloves for everything”.
