Food Workers Share the Menu Item That They Know Full Well They Should Never Order
We all hear stories about popular fast-food restaurants and the disgusting conditions the food gets prepared in, but since they're so delicious and cheap we kind of ignore those warnings and assume they're just lies.

If you really want to get a closer look at these conditions, you will have to actually work for them and know the ins and outs of all their operations.
Obviously not everyone can do that, so we managed to find the closest thing to that. Testimonials from actual or formal employees in various famous establishments and they have a lot to say about this subject.
They all decided to share the Menu item they could never order in a million years.
1. "The Big Mac" In McDonald's
It’s just “a double cheeseburger with thousand island dressing (aka Mac Sauce) and it’s usually twice the price.”
2. Movie Popcorn
It’s reheated from the night before, but you’re not getting a discount.
3. Lemon Garnish For Drinks
“Every server has touched them. No one has time to use tongs to place individual lemons on the side of glasses.”
4. If you're able to smell the oil on anything fried
It means it’s not getting changed or cleaned nearly often enough.
5. Sonic’s Ice Cream
“Nobody cleans the machines unless they break down. Even then nobody cleans the cabinet in the bottom that the fan blows on the milk. The fan is ALWAYS covered in mold because we can not get to it to clean it.”
6. Anything in Pizza Hut
Apparently the pans are full of mold.
7. And also anything in Subway
“All the meat comes prepackaged and smell like farts when you open them. The veggies patties smell even worse. So my answer to this question is, don’t eat at Subway. It’s all nasty.”
8. The Fish Sandwich in Burger King
It doesn’t get ordered often, so unless you ask for some kind of special order, your fish has probably been sitting under the warming tray for quite some time.
9. A “Well-Done” Steak At Steakhouse
“I’ve worked places that had a separate bin on the line for steaks that smelled sour and had turned green, just for people who asked for [well done].” And this wasn’t a cheap place — “this was a legit, fancy-ass ‘$40 an entree’ place.”
10. Hot Food In Concession Stands
“I’ve worked places that had a separate bin on the line for steaks that smelled sour and had turned green, just for people who asked for [well done].” And this wasn’t a cheap place — “this was a legit, fancy-ass ‘$40 an entree’ place.”
11. The Rast Beef In Arby’s
Workers say “it doesn’t even look close to real meat,” likening it instead to a sausage-like hot dog that has been sliced thin.
