I have seen the order takers also taking the money and handing out the food.


Usually they don't because orders come in while you are handing out food and taking money, and you need a third hand to hand out the food and press the button on the comptuer for what the people want.

But, I'd imagine the order taker also does work in the kitchen. Helping getting it out fast.

The book Fast Food Nation gave In n Out glowing raves for how they treat their employees and the quality of food they serve.

Dammit I can't find my copy, I must have borrowed it to someone.

Anyway IIRC, average length of time an employee work at McD - 3 to 6 months. For In n Out it's 5 years. That alone says a lot.

Again, In n Out


I'm actually headed to In and Out right now.

The Fast Food Nation author says that, just to make the FLAVOR in the strawberry milkshake at McDonald's, it takes 45 ingredients!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McDonald’s: The chain averaged 126 critical violations for every 100 inspections, the highest average in our survey.

I caught the ending of that Dateline show, they even had a hidden camera of a McD employee coming out of a stall and leaving the bathroom... then the camera moved to the sink that was never used.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Strangest phone conversation ive ever had. An Indian telemarketer called me a couple of weeks ago claiming his name was James Dean and that he was calling from Birmingham (England). I told him if i checked i would expect to find out that he wasnt calling from England, so he said he was calling from India so i told him i didnt want to deal with him then, then he calls me a racist and hangs up. What the hell.

Suffering from ads?

last night I ate at Burger King. This was my first fast food in years. I ate their angus beef burger with bacon on it. It wasn't bad. The fries were disgusting, I should never get the value meals. I never understood the appeal of french fries.

But they always leave you with that certain aftertaste. It's hard to describe, but it just doesn't taste natural. It doesn't taste like a burger you cook yourselves. Sometimes I think they use rat meat mixed in with beef .

James Dean? Heh.

Really, you'd think that the long distance phone charges would actually make this MORE expensive. I mean, a person who works at McDonalds is only making minimum wage to begin with.
