We’ll never understand why some people choose to buy an overpriced sandwich or another food item here when they can get a similar or even better alternative for a lower price right around the corner. If it’s not obvious yet, we’re referencing Starbucks’ foodie customers. If that’s not enough to dissuade you from buying anything this company makes, you might be inclined to know that the food at Starbucks reportedly, isn’t even fresh.
Yup, you read that right. Everything edible in Starbucks not only isn’t fresh, it actually arrives frozen and gets heated throughout the day. In other words, if you’re a Starbucks fan and tend to also eat there, just know that you’re literally overpaying for frozen food. Not cool at all.
KFC Original Chicken
In our second attempt at explaining why some of Kentucky Fried Chicken's meals have a peculiar taste and feel, we'd like to present our second alleged former employee who claims that sometimes the employees will scoop up and serve chicken that had a short encounter with the dirty kitchen floor.
He also claimed that you should probably stay away from buying anything there near the end of the day, as many of these meals were made during the morning and left under the lights for many hours. While it's not necessarily a health hazard per se, we definitely think it's a serious bummer.
McDonald's Chicken Nuggets
One of the most popular and iconic menu items at McDonald's is the chicken nuggets, otherwise known as the McNuggets. These delicious pieces of chicken have been a staple of the McDonald's menu, to the point of being more popular than their burgers for quite a few customers.
One annoying thing about the McNuggets is that they are often made hours before you've actually ordered them and left on the heater until you do. Fortunately, these little half chicken half who-knows-what snacks are so freakin tasty that most of us are willing to overlook that fact and keep ordering these delicious things Anyway.
Arby's Roast Beef
Everyone loves to eat at the occasional fast food restaurant (well, except health nuts), even though it's well known at this point that the “behind the scenes” process of making some of these foods is less appetizing than watching a dog pee on your shoe.
One example of this, which was corroborated by multiple Reddit users who claim to work at the popular sandwich chain Arby's, is the company's famous roast beef sandwich. Apparently, the beef gets to the place in a liquid state of disgusting mush. It then gets put in the oven, solidified through heat, and cut into strips by the staff. There's no doubt that this is not what anyone would want of roast beef.
Dunkin Donuts Coolattas
At least when you're talking about companies like McDonald's, there's a certain pretext or illusion of decency and health-consciousness that derives from the brand's appeal to a larger amount of consumers who actually care a bit about what they put in their body.
When you eat at a place like Dunkin Donuts, all of that pretext goes out the window as you're mostly dealing with a client base that cares more about what happened in the last episode of Meet The Kardashians than the stroke building up in their arteries. That's why it's not a surprise if some of the worst culinary offenses I of the unclean serving machines are done by the staff at Dunkin Donuts.
