A bit fishy

McDonald’s and KFC workers reveal menu items ‘you should NEVER order under any circumstances’

If you're a fan of the Fillet-O-Fish, look away now

WE all know that fast-food isn’t exactly the healthiest option but now people claiming to be employees have shared their nasty kitchen secrets.

From boiled chicken to frozen food, their stomach-churning allegations just might make you think twice before blindly ordering again.

An anonymous Reddit user kicked off proceedings when they asked: “” They received almost 16,000 replies.

Some of the first people to reply claimed to be McDonald’s workers.

Call_Me_Feefer alleged: “Fish fillet from McDonald’s, I've seen those things sit there for hours before getting served.”

Another user blackjak852 agreed, claiming: “I used to work at McDonald’s. Don’t order our fish patties.

“No one ever does and I swear some days we’d make a batch and it would sit there all day until someone ordered some.”

Another user named SGkurisu also suggested the fish patty was bad and claimed: “My McDonald’s kept the fish sandwiches in a super dirty cabinet and spent like five seconds cooking it when it actually gets ordered.”

There was also advice to late night diners to stay away from McDonald’s altogether.

User The Pastry Dragon said: “I wouldn’t order from McDonald’s after ten pm.

“We had a toilet where the sink was outside of the door.

“At night management counts money and does paperwork, so it is pretty much anarchy.

“Anyway, several people would use the restroom without washing their hands or putting on gloves and then make food.”

It wasn't just McDonald’s that got a bad rap from ex-workers - users claimed KFC and Subway have some dodgy items too.

Redditor Hotpotabo alleged that in the Subway branch he worked at the chicken was actually “boiled in a microwave”.

And if you are a KFC fan, ex-employee JoeyBosa advised to stay away from the gravy.

He claimed: “It is primarily made of the filthy oil that stores up at the bottom of the cookers over the day and is then served to customers the next day.”

The coffee chain Starbucks wasn’t spared either and was slammed for its hot food offerings.

Likebaker alleged: “All Starbucks food is reheated frozen food.

“Ridiculous how little people realise that.

“Doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste good, its just not fresh at all and incredibly over priced."

If you do want to save some cash on your fast food favourite, social media users are going crazy for the poor man's Big Mac.
