Unbelievable.................R1

Stupid stuff like this is another reason I don't use any fast food restaurant if I can possibly avoid it. (That's beyond the unhealthy food)

[similost]

At least you know they have clean help..

[walkandtalk]

I agree. Most commercial kitchens are much worse than you'd ever want to know. I don't condone what this fella did, but at least he knows what a bath is!

[Andyman]

Typical corporate overreaction and CYA to public outcry.
Don't get me wrong, those folks all have Ph.Ds from DumbAss U., but I'll bet that sink was cleaner when he got out than more restaurants than folks care to imagine..

[Twenty20Man]

eating out is a crap shoot...if the bath was the worst i can live with it..but i fear its not

[pahtcenter77]

Have it your way..............

[Strawman]

I've enjoyed a few Italian Chicken sandwiches, but they only come out once a year, and I haven't seen them in a couple of years.

[rockin1150]

Holy hell thats nasty! aaahhhhh! yuk!

[jimfet]

Take it easy on Mr. Unstable.

Your fears are all too real.
One of my first jobs was as a dishwasher/busboy at a national chain known for their breakfasts. To this day I know better than to complain about food and send it back. The stuff I saw cooks and waitresses do to food was disgusting.

Some of the help as I recall probably needed that bath before approaching anywhere near food.

I put myself through college working fast food, and I've seen worse. My idiot co-workers were at least smart enough not to capture it on camera. The biggest factor in how clean a fast food shop is, and that the food being prepared in a safe manner, is the management. Sure, inspections help, but the on-site store management insures that things are done right day-in day-out.

Things may have changed over the years, but my experiences from 20 year ago were that the local Wendy's were better run and had better quality food than their national chain rivals. But I'm sure that varies between local franchisees too.

I worked at McDonalds when I was 16 almost 20 years ago and I'm just now feeling comfortable going back. For the cleanliness issues and for the flashbacks. Worst, mos stressful job I've ever had. And yes, most of the employees needed to take a bath one way or another.

[stereofanboy]

That's one huge sink!

[stuartk]

That was probably the cleanest that sink had been in years.

[marantz1156]

be thankful its fast food or the plates and silverware would be coming from that sink!

Was it Saturday night? Maybe the Burger King is _the_ place to go in Xenia for your Saturday night bath?

[winters860]

FINALLY, my hometown will be remembered for something other than being periodically ravaged by tornados (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_Tornado#Xenia.2C_Ohio) and being the setting for Gummo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gummo)!

Back in high school, on Saturday night when all the kids from Xenia had fled to the more affluent Beavercreek suburb closer to Dayton for entertainment, the kids from rural Jamestown to the east would drive their 4-wheel drive pickups to the Xenia Burger King parking lot to hang out. Everybody's got to have somewhere to go, I guess.

And to think I occasionally eat at that BK when I've got the late night munchies... :sigh:

The stuff the customer touches in a restaurant must go through the dishwasher (very very hot / sanitizes) after the worst is rinsed off.

But EVERYTHING that the food is prepared in goes through those sinks and I KNOW some of the pans are too big for the dishwasher.

Yes, I too know the horrors of sent back food. Although one customer loved the carbonized (sent back undercooked many times) burgers we had ready for her after a while. (we felt that incinerating them was enough..... no add ons/ins). You could have used those things for shoe heel replacements.

At least the burgers go from the freezer, to the stove/whatever, to the bun... but the condiments are another matter.:yuck:

I had never heard of Gummo before, but it was tornados that I remembered.

It doesn't seem like a very memorable place. This pic could be from dozens of other little towns all over Ohio. (this pic reminded me of Conneaut for some reason)

like the tvspots say have it your way :D

It's things like these that make me want to never eat in a restaurant where some mentally defective person would do things to my food to spite me.

I rarely send things back to the kitchen, but I also won't put up with things that are really wrong. I shouldn't have to - I'm the one paying the bill.

I guess we should just cook our own food at home, but then you hear things about how they run grocery stores... and farms, etc.

Time to pack up and head for the hills and become a hermit.

Sometimes I understand misanthropes. :)
