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.
Starbucks Food
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.
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.
Starbucks' Secret Menu
Some people have recently gotten the impression that Starbucks keeps a secret menu for a special and a select group of its customers. We just wanted to let you know that after a brief investigation of this rumor, we found it to be less than plausible and most likely false.
What you should probably do if you're looking for a custom drink is to figure out exactly what you're interested in ordering, read their menu of ingredients online and then just ask for exactly what you want. This will save both you and that non-communicative Starbucks cashier a lot of time and frustration.
Culver's Veggie Burger
Going to a fast-food chain with a vegan friend is never an easy ordeal. Even if the conversation somehow doesn't revolve around the unethical treatment of animals, you still have to deal with them griping about not having anything to eat except the side salad.
Certain restaurants and fast food chains adopted a more vegan-friendly menu in the last few years, and the popular Culver chain is no different. However, one Reddit user who works at Culver's told us that it's a bad idea to order their veggie burger, as these are often kept stored in freezers until an order comes in. They then get cooked in a microwave and fried on the same grill which is used for all the other meaty foods. Maybe that's why your vegan friends keep asking to go there!
