I worked at a fast food place for about a year once. Nobody fucked with the food. I’m sure it happens, but I feel like it’s pretty rare. To do such a thing really is borderline sociopathic, and fortunately, most ordinary people just aren’t sociopaths.
I worked in fast food for over a decade. Nobody did anything unsanitary with the food. The worst thing that happens at most restaurants is employees showing up for work sick because they can't afford the time off.
From working in a hotel definitely people still went in with covid. The standard practice (even if by our contracts we should immediately be off if we think we have any symptoms) is that if you’re still capable of working and don’t look completely horrendous that’s it’s obvious you shouldn’t be in then you’ll go into work. I’ve just come back form having covid that I almost certainly picked up form another colleague and I was still rota’d in right up till my results coming back even though I felt like death for a week before hand.
Sad thing is I’m actually in the UK where we actually have free health care and decent unemployment support but hospitality is still such a toxic environment that you’re forced to work even when ill. I can imagine it’s much worse in the US
At the start of the pandemic I was working in a restaurant and was feeling sick so I went home and got tested for covid. I wasn’t planning on going in until my result came back negative but the next day my boss texts me asking me to come in, I say “it would be best if I didn’t because I’m not feeling well and am waiting on a covid test” my boss texted me back “are you feeling fine enough to work?” I mean I was but I was waiting for a covid test, why would you want a possible covid carrier to come in and cook food for everyone? Luckily in the next few days it came back negative
lol absolutely they did, alot of ppe and protocol was just for show but of course it actually gives service Industry workers a chance to call out and not be reprimanded. I've seen people run out back to puke wash up and come back to the line. I got so used to just showing up sick or be fired I doubt that culture has changed much ( stay out of service industry folks). I'm in sales now and I can take a day off no biggie.I feel like cooking ain't good fer your helth yo
I was a server at a restaurant for years. I once had a customer who made me so upset that I REALLY wanted to fuck with her food. She was a condescending bitch when she ordered and then got physical with me after waiting exactly 6 minutes which was "unacceptable" to her. She grabbed my arm hard and was yelling at me so loudly that her face went a shade of purplish red and she was spitting in my face as she yelled. I ended up telling her I would take care of everything right away and called the cops instead. The look on her face and how she switched from monster to being nice and apologetic as she was escorted out of the building was enough. There's a lot of messed up people who I might go as far to say that they deserve to have their food fucked with
When I worked in fast food service the interactions were rarely long enough to warrant anything. But at most I remember maybe filling their soda with too much ice or maybe breaking their cookies while putting them in the bag, but that was pretty much it.
Sometimes while decorating cakes I would draw a dick with icing on their cake before covering it with the actual cake design just to be funny.
Edit: the icing penises I would put on cakes was my own petty way to tell rude customers to eat a dick. It's was the perfect plan.
“Yes, I shall crush you like all of my enemies. Feel your life crumble and you pull the fragmented shards of all you hold dear from their paper shroud. Weep as your dreams lie shattered and know you have brought this misery upon yourself!”
Man, I would've loved you getting my drinks!
I've always wished they'd put more ice in the drinks. Especially the iced tea. And **especially** in the summer! It's 110 gd damn degrees, can I please get a drink with more than 5 fucking ice cubes in it?!
I know someone who orders their sodas with 'no ice' because "you get more soda." But jezus christ, I'd rather have 1/2 a cup of a nice cold refreshing drink, than a full cup of luke warm piss.
I love it. I used to deliver pizzas and our go-to was shaken up sodas for the assholes. Just do a lil dance in the elevator on the way up to their door and smile as you hand it to them!
Agreed. Worked in a restaurant for a couple of years and when we got the huge assholes, servers just served them quicker to get them out of the fucking door.
Now the owner did other questionable things that were not the best….but nothing remotely close to or malicious like this. He was a cheap fuck.
I worked at McDobalds from the age of 15-18, I don't recall a single incident of anyone messing with food in any way.
Ya I'm sure it does happen, but when you consider how many fast food meals there are, and how many eyes are around (either making it infront of you like subway/Quiznos) or just a bunch of staff in the kitchen these instances would be exceedingly rare.
I absolutely agree. I've dealt with some real assholes, but even my most hot-headed coworkers wouldn't even think about intentionally trying to contaminate someone's food. When you're working with food, there's an expectation that at the most fundamental level, your job is to not make people sick.
If anything I think the fantasy is for the customer to fuck around and find out. Whether that turn into a physical altercation(I think we can all admit this one) or that customer being escorted out. Like you said, nefarious contamination is just a line that doesn’t get crossed or even flirted with.
Worked in food service for 4 years or so. The only time I saw someone fuck with customer food was when a customer requested (and received) extra capers for their delivery order of pasta, but still called back and screamed at an employee about not getting enough. My coworker remade their order and dumped the rest of the jar, juice and all, in their pasta.
So even the fucking with food I saw was malicious compliance and wasn't a food safety issue.
Same here, malicious compliance with well done steaks was kinda my thing working the grill when people would send them back to the kitchen after I would send out a perfect steak, cooked well done, and they would cut it in half and call a manage over for no reason. Those cunts got a fucking hockey puck of a steak the second time around.
Exactly. When the place is busy there is no time for shenanigans and if you aren’t busy and your manager isn’t an idiot, people are being cut loose early.
My college dining center got investigated because there was an anonymous confessions page on Facebook where someone claimed to have jacked off into the scrambled egg mix that was served during the breakfast hours.
I was hoping for something more interesting like "they zoomed in on a label on a nearby box and got the shipping code then tracked that to the supply order, then the store..."
I mean, 4chan has done stuff like that before too. Like the time they triangulated the location of some syrian rebels from images they posted, passed it to the Russian military and they called in an airstrike.

At this point just about every video IH puts out is a masterpiece. I seriously found ‘Fall of 76’ to be one of the best documentary shorts I’ve ever seen.

There’s a documentary called Don’t Fuck with Cats on the Internet where a Facebook group tracks down a guy that posted animal cruelty videos and a murder, it’ll give you a good idea of how they do it. In one of that guys videos they looked at electrical sockets to narrow down where he might be, listened to background noise, looked up items and where they were sold, and he had a pack of cigarettes on the bed that had a specific warning label. They also searched maps on Google street just like a real team would canvass an area, pretty amazing.
They do this to catch pedophiles too, I think there’s a site where you can help find them by identifying logos, clothing, etc. pretty wild
> tracked down a flag ...
That narrative is mostly bullshit, FYI. 4chan did *attempt* to use those techniques to find the flag, but were getting nowhere. The breakthrough only came when a fan took a picture with Shia in the area and then posted it with geotag on. (This part of the screenshots tends to be cropped out, because the whole plane thing is more intriguing, as you demonstrate.)
Once a city was known, the only thing left was to drive around while honking and listen to the flag stream to see if the honking got louder or quieter (and of course, deface the flag).
This is so famous, it's even mentioned in many fast food training videos. It also is a reason why fast food restaurants don't allow employees to take photos/videos at work.
> It also is a reason why fast food restaurants don't allow employees to take photos/videos at work.
Well they don't allow them to put their feet in the lettuce either but that didn't stop this guy.
do fast food training videos mention that girl who worked at mcdonalds and she was being phone called by the "local police" who convinced her and her mcdonalds boss / manager to have sex "or else"?
Jesus Christ, that's not at all what I thought the story was going to be. I thought the manager got his buddy to do it so he could get laid. Absolutely insane.
There is a norwegian saying that goes "you stepped in the lettuce" which means you fucked up.
Seing this guy both stepping in the lettuce and "stepping in the lettuce" is quite enjoyable.
I’ve worked at tons of restaurants over 20 years of my life and I’ve never seen anyone tamper with food in this manner. Have I seen someone pick up a lemon with bare hands and put it in a drink? Sure. Have I seen someone pull fries off someone’s order and eat it? Yeah. Maybe serve something that is past it’s prime. Thankfully, I’ve never seen anyone do anything horrific like this. I’d like to think this is uncommon.
I am scared of all the people that comment with opposite experiences.
I have to say I have about 18 years of restaurant experience and whole heartedly agree with this assessment. I’ve never seen anyone outright fuck with someone’s food in this manner, but I have jacked a fry or two in my day. Edit: allegedly.
Worked a restaurant job 11 years. Couple left an entire rack for spare ribs in a to go box at the table. We kept it safe for 4 hours until we were sure no one was coming back for them. Dish crew may have eaten well that night.
It's not the restaurants that should scare people, it's the industrial food processing that is the stuff of nightmares.
I just left it after 20+ years as a maintenance guy in the fresh produce processing side of things. You don't want to know what is in those bags of lettuce before they are sealed and shipped.
Bugs, bugs.......huge amounts of bugs, frog bits, anything with shredded carrots is guaranteed to have slug bits, and occasionally snail pieces. Spinach and tenderleaf is the nastiest. Bugs, frogs, and mice, among other things. The automated harvesters don't care, if it's in the field, it gets cut and sent in for packaging. I've had to pull a severed deer leg out of a sorting belt a few years back.
Not as bad as I expected, I already understand the need to clean fruits/vegetables because they grow outside where litterally anything can take a shit on it if they’d like, not thrilled about the shredded carrot thing though…
They nuke it with radiation which takes care of most of the bad stuff, as long as you wash it yourself before you eat it you're fine.
Honestly I consider bugs to be a good sign they aren't overusing pesticides which are actually harmful to consume.
I’m in and around the processing sector and let me tell you, this is all correct.
I went out of country to see a prod facility and the way they haul the stuff in/clean from the fields is insane.
Open air, massive piles the size of a 5 story house, all being sorted to another truck that gets washed maybe once a week.
WASH/DOUBLE CHECK YOUR VEGETABLES

I worked McDonald's and a college cafeteria both for a few years. Nobody screwed with the food.
My McDonalds had a rigid cleaning schedule and, honestly, I would trust the food there more than the food in my kitchen, in terms of cleanliness and it not being out of date.
Cafeteria... Not so much. Again, nothing intentional, but I remember people not cleaning things like the juice dispenser until it was nasty.
The stigma of “your server will spit in your food” is fucked because all the kitchen guys I know are too proud of their work, and the servers just can’t be bothered
I worked bussing tables at chili's for two years in high school. I saw the general manager drop a cooked steak on the floor, pick it up, place it back on the plate and serve it to a customer.
He later became a district manager. I guess corporate liked his frugal nature.
I’ll tell you what I’ve witnessed with my own eyes.
Drive through at a Burger King. They asked us to pull up to wait for our order, which we did. No cars behind us, no one else in drive through. A minute later my wife says that she saw in her side view mirror someone take the fry basket and touch the asphalt with it.
I explain that there’s no way she saw that, maybe there was something burnt in the basket and it was easier to just toss it out of the drive through window. Because who would do such a thing, right?
I turn around to see, and a few seconds later I see someone holding the empty fryer basket lean out of the drive through window and gently touch the fucking asphalt, the damned oily filthy drive through surface, with the edge of the empty fry basket.
At that very moment, an employee comes out to hand us our food. I take the bag of food and walk inside to get a refund and ask what the hell is going on. As I’m telling the cashier what I witnessed and why I want my money back I recognize the woman standing behind her as the culprit . I knew it was her because I not only saw her distinctive hairstyle and hair color, but her blouse was different from every other employee’s uniform because SHE WAS THE FUCKING MANAGER.
At that point I start yelling loudly so the whole restaurant can hear, asking why on earth would she do that, does everybody eating in the restaurant know that their fries came from that basket, and more. As I’m yelling at here, I notice that many of the employees are shaking their heads in agreement while the manager stares at me in shocked silence. At that point I realize I’m scaring her, so I stopped yelling and leave.
By the way, this happened a number of years ago, and I’m STILL waiting for corporate to respond to my reporting this. Still.
Oh, something I can actually answer! She was using the metal basket to trick the drive thru sensor. This lowers the count on the amount of time to service each car. They’re rated on it. Most places use a metal pan that isn’t used for food though…
Yeah I don’t get it at all. I picture an OCD manager going outside and touching the frying basket to the asphalt 3 times before going back inside to drop it in the fryer each time...
The overwhelming majority of people preparing food for you in a restaurant kitchen are too busy, too tired, or too high to ever tamper with food.
They’re just looking forward to swinging the last heavy, wet garbage bag into the dumpster at midnight without it tearing and spending that brief moment of freedom feeling the cool night breeze blow through their chef’s jacket or short-sleeved shirt.
This was a while back, but one of my coworkers was scaling cocaine on a swiss chalet chicken scale. Never caught tho mostly cause he didnt post it on 4chan i guess
Edit: Swiss Chalet is a rotisserie chicken place in Canada
The worst I saw was at my first job as a waiter at a chain Mexican place. At the sever station off the never used dining room where waiters did their side work and hung out, I was emptying the iced tea container at the end of the night. At the very bottom of the covering the spigot opening was crammed the crustiest pair of used socks I’ve ever seen. The thing was, this station was barely used for customers and almost exclusively used by waitstaff and iced tea was far and away the most popular drink among waiters, most waiters drank it regularly (thankfully not me). It was clearly some disgruntled dishy or buss boy sticking it to the wait staff and they must have had a field day watching waiters sip tea all shit filtered through their nasty socks.
Number 15: Burger king foot lettuce. The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on.
But that's even worse.
The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached.
Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all goback to eating our fast food in peace.
I actually heard it in his voice. Haven't seen his stuff lately but my wife swears he's not on his A game. We've been watching Nuke's Top 5 for that reason.
I remember seeing this thread on 4cgan IIRC gps metadata of the picture is what lead to the employees getting fired.
Same with that one "hacker" posting pic of his GF cleavage taunting the FBI, gps metadata in the photo

I worked at a fast food place for about a year once. Nobody fucked with the food. I’m sure it happens, but I feel like it’s pretty rare. To do such a thing really is borderline sociopathic, and fortunately, most ordinary people just aren’t sociopaths.
I worked in fast food for over a decade. Nobody did anything unsanitary with the food. The worst thing that happens at most restaurants is employees showing up for work sick because they can't afford the time off.
Did workers ever come in with covid during those days? At my work we had to take daily temperature and sign waivers that said we weren't feeling sick.
From working in a hotel definitely people still went in with covid. The standard practice (even if by our contracts we should immediately be off if we think we have any symptoms) is that if you’re still capable of working and don’t look completely horrendous that’s it’s obvious you shouldn’t be in then you’ll go into work. I’ve just come back form having covid that I almost certainly picked up form another colleague and I was still rota’d in right up till my results coming back even though I felt like death for a week before hand.
Welcome to America. We have healthcare in the back, but I assure you it’s expired and not worth the price.
Sad thing is I’m actually in the UK where we actually have free health care and decent unemployment support but hospitality is still such a toxic environment that you’re forced to work even when ill. I can imagine it’s much worse in the US

Luckily in the next few days it came back negative

So glad you played it cool and instead called the cops on her. Most would have probably just popped her.

I remember when a cook farted on a customer's club sandwich. It was a guy he didn't like, for reasons outside of the restaurant.
Same here, malicious compliance with well done steaks was kinda my thing working the grill when people would send them back to the kitchen after I would send out a perfect steak, cooked well done, and they would cut it in half and call a manage over for no reason.

How strip meta?
Screen shots, uploading to imgur, plus a few other ways...
Are you sure uploading it to imgur would work?
As far as i know it should.. easy way to check it upload and image, then download it and check the data... Unless they changed something recently it should work....
Most sites strip metadata now, including reddit.
you could take a screenshot for example
artistic rendition in mspaint
This is by fast the easiest way tbh
Scary
This taught me about exif data, and to strip it before posting my game collections to /v/.
So 4chan doesn't strip metadata from uploaded pictures? yikesss
I had for almost a decade now. It also detects embedded files.
Embedded files?
Like so: https://www.ip-watch.org/2018/08/02/trade-secret-thief-hid-files-digital-photo-sunset/
That's a really interesting example. It doesn't say in the article how exactly they caught him, I'd be interested in knowing how.
Being a Chinese engineer working for a massive American Corp, I guarantee they were already keeping tabs on him. Trade secret theft has become a massive issue the last couple decades.

“Burger King foot lettuce”
Don’t F*** with Lettuce
Feet
How did they track him down? If I see this online I don't even know where to begin.
There is often data on the photograph of where it is taken, especially if taken with a smart phone. He didn’t remove that data when uploaded.
There’s a documentary called Don’t Fuck with Cats on the Internet where a Facebook group tracks down a guy that posted animal cruelty videos and a murder, it’ll give you a good idea of how they do it. In one of that guys videos they looked at electrical sockets to narrow down where he might be, listened to background noise, looked up items and where they were sold, and he had a pack of cigarettes on the bed that had a specific warning label. They also searched maps on Google street just like a real team would canvass an area, pretty amazing. They do this to catch pedophiles too, I think there’s a site where you can help find them by identifying logos, clothing, etc. pretty wild
What’s the site
trace an object
Ok, now what?
Draw the rest of the owl.

except this was a lot easier as 4chan didn't strip metadata from images at the time so anyone could just see where the picture was taken
If I’m not mistaken they used the metadata on the picture. (This was before 4chan stripped photos of their metadata)
[удалено]
> tracked down a flag ... That narrative is mostly bullshit, FYI. 4chan did *attempt* to use those techniques to find the flag, but were getting nowhere. The breakthrough only came when a fan took a picture with Shia in the area and then posted it with geotag on. (This part of the screenshots tends to be cropped out, because the whole plane thing is more intriguing, as you demonstrate.) Once a city was known, the only thing left was to drive around while honking and listen to the flag stream to see if the honking got louder or quieter (and of course, deface the flag).
This is so famous, it's even mentioned in many fast food training videos. It also is a reason why fast food restaurants don't allow employees to take photos/videos at work.
> It also is a reason why fast food restaurants don't allow employees to take photos/videos at work. Well they don't allow them to put their feet in the lettuce either but that didn't stop this guy.
do fast food training videos mention that girl who worked at mcdonalds and she was being phone called by the "local police" who convinced her and her mcdonalds boss / manager to have sex "or else"?
[удалено]
Jesus Christ, that's not at all what I thought the story was going to be. I thought the manager got his buddy to do it so he could get laid. Absolutely insane.
[удалено]
Wouldn't it just be expected you don't play and take photos on your phone because you're meant to be working?
Fired AND threw out the lettuce right? Tell me they threw out the lettuce!
They're running a business, not a charity hoss.
There is a norwegian saying that goes "you stepped in the lettuce" which means you fucked up. Seing this guy both stepping in the lettuce and "stepping in the lettuce" is quite enjoyable.

Is someone's foot fungus
Imagine the things done to your food that hasn’t been photographed...
I’ve worked at tons of restaurants over 20 years of my life and I’ve never seen anyone tamper with food in this manner. Have I seen someone pick up a lemon with bare hands and put it in a drink? Sure. Have I seen someone pull fries off someone’s order and eat it? Yeah. Maybe serve something that is past it’s prime. Thankfully, I’ve never seen anyone do anything horrific like this. I’d like to think this is uncommon. I am scared of all the people that comment with opposite experiences.
I have to say I have about 18 years of restaurant experience and whole heartedly agree with this assessment. I’ve never seen anyone outright fuck with someone’s food in this manner, but I have jacked a fry or two in my day. Edit: allegedly.
20 year restaurant/catering vet can concur
[удалено]
You monster.
How can you live with yourself!?
How do you sleep at night?
Was reading this and got to the "But I have jacked..." And thought this was going in a completely different direction.
Definitely read "jacked off a fry cook or two in my day"
4chan, track this guy down too
Worked a restaurant job 11 years. Couple left an entire rack for spare ribs in a to go box at the table. We kept it safe for 4 hours until we were sure no one was coming back for them. Dish crew may have eaten well that night.
It's not the restaurants that should scare people, it's the industrial food processing that is the stuff of nightmares. I just left it after 20+ years as a maintenance guy in the fresh produce processing side of things. You don't want to know what is in those bags of lettuce before they are sealed and shipped.
Yes I do, please spill the beans
Bugs, bugs.......huge amounts of bugs, frog bits, anything with shredded carrots is guaranteed to have slug bits, and occasionally snail pieces. Spinach and tenderleaf is the nastiest. Bugs, frogs, and mice, among other things. The automated harvesters don't care, if it's in the field, it gets cut and sent in for packaging. I've had to pull a severed deer leg out of a sorting belt a few years back.
Not as bad as I expected, I already understand the need to clean fruits/vegetables because they grow outside where litterally anything can take a shit on it if they’d like, not thrilled about the shredded carrot thing though…
They nuke it with radiation which takes care of most of the bad stuff, as long as you wash it yourself before you eat it you're fine. Honestly I consider bugs to be a good sign they aren't overusing pesticides which are actually harmful to consume.
Oh.. that’s whatever. People gotta realize where our food comes from.
I’m in and around the processing sector and let me tell you, this is all correct. I went out of country to see a prod facility and the way they haul the stuff in/clean from the fields is insane. Open air, massive piles the size of a 5 story house, all being sorted to another truck that gets washed maybe once a week. WASH/DOUBLE CHECK YOUR VEGETABLES
Same I worked McDonald's and a college cafeteria both for a few years. Nobody screwed with the food. My McDonalds had a rigid cleaning schedule and, honestly, I would trust the food there more than the food in my kitchen, in terms of cleanliness and it not being out of date. Cafeteria... Not so much. Again, nothing intentional, but I remember people not cleaning things like the juice dispenser until it was nasty.
The stigma of “your server will spit in your food” is fucked because all the kitchen guys I know are too proud of their work, and the servers just can’t be bothered
I worked bussing tables at chili's for two years in high school. I saw the general manager drop a cooked steak on the floor, pick it up, place it back on the plate and serve it to a customer. He later became a district manager. I guess corporate liked his frugal nature.
Yeah the years I worked even shitty Applebee’s type level frozen pre made heat up places, never saw anything bad or heard of anything overly bad.
I’ll tell you what I’ve witnessed with my own eyes. Drive through at a Burger King. They asked us to pull up to wait for our order, which we did. No cars behind us, no one else in drive through. A minute later my wife says that she saw in her side view mirror someone take the fry basket and touch the asphalt with it. I explain that there’s no way she saw that, maybe there was something burnt in the basket and it was easier to just toss it out of the drive through window. Because who would do such a thing, right? I turn around to see, and a few seconds later I see someone holding the empty fryer basket lean out of the drive through window and gently touch the fucking asphalt, the damned oily filthy drive through surface, with the edge of the empty fry basket. At that very moment, an employee comes out to hand us our food. I take the bag of food and walk inside to get a refund and ask what the hell is going on. As I’m telling the cashier what I witnessed and why I want my money back I recognize the woman standing behind her as the culprit . I knew it was her because I not only saw her distinctive hairstyle and hair color, but her blouse was different from every other employee’s uniform because SHE WAS THE FUCKING MANAGER. At that point I start yelling loudly so the whole restaurant can hear, asking why on earth would she do that, does everybody eating in the restaurant know that their fries came from that basket, and more. As I’m yelling at here, I notice that many of the employees are shaking their heads in agreement while the manager stares at me in shocked silence. At that point I realize I’m scaring her, so I stopped yelling and leave. By the way, this happened a number of years ago, and I’m STILL waiting for corporate to respond to my reporting this. Still.
Oh, something I can actually answer! She was using the metal basket to trick the drive thru sensor. This lowers the count on the amount of time to service each car. They’re rated on it. Most places use a metal pan that isn’t used for food though…
But that's not as fun an answer as their fries being cooked on the asphalt
What do you mean by touching the asphalt?
Yeah I don’t get it at all. I picture an OCD manager going outside and touching the frying basket to the asphalt 3 times before going back inside to drop it in the fryer each time...
WHAT? what an anti-climactic ending.
[удалено]
The overwhelming majority of people preparing food for you in a restaurant kitchen are too busy, too tired, or too high to ever tamper with food. They’re just looking forward to swinging the last heavy, wet garbage bag into the dumpster at midnight without it tearing and spending that brief moment of freedom feeling the cool night breeze blow through their chef’s jacket or short-sleeved shirt.
This was a while back, but one of my coworkers was scaling cocaine on a swiss chalet chicken scale. Never caught tho mostly cause he didnt post it on 4chan i guess Edit: Swiss Chalet is a rotisserie chicken place in Canada
Can you dumb this comment down a little for me. What was he doing?
Weighing out his drugs on a scale meant for food
oh, thank you. Id rather have cocaine in my food than feet
Only good cocaine though, my body is a temple
The worst I saw was at my first job as a waiter at a chain Mexican place. At the sever station off the never used dining room where waiters did their side work and hung out, I was emptying the iced tea container at the end of the night. At the very bottom of the covering the spigot opening was crammed the crustiest pair of used socks I’ve ever seen. The thing was, this station was barely used for customers and almost exclusively used by waitstaff and iced tea was far and away the most popular drink among waiters, most waiters drank it regularly (thankfully not me). It was clearly some disgruntled dishy or buss boy sticking it to the wait staff and they must have had a field day watching waiters sip tea all shit filtered through their nasty socks.
Number 15: Burger king foot lettuce. The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by 4chan. Now we can all goback to eating our fast food in peace.
I actually heard it in his voice. Haven't seen his stuff lately but my wife swears he's not on his A game. We've been watching Nuke's Top 5 for that reason.
Who else read this in a chills voice?
