err it how you make it at McDonalds. before you put it on the bun you put salt+pepper on it.

When I worked at McDonalds you seasoned them right on the grill... hence why she said she went on break and then the burger was served to the guy (as in she cooked them with the seasoning and left and the assembler used her prepared burger).

heh when i worked at McDonalds (this is 17 yrs ago).

it would be.
put buns in
put hamburgers on (buns are now finished)
pull buns off
mustard
ketchu
pickels
onions
cheese
burgers should be finishing up.
season burgers (salt/pepper)
put burgers on buns and put up to be wrapped.

i could make a dozen in roughly 36 seconds.


but yeah now they make the hamburgers and throw them in a tray or something. its not as good as when i worked there heh

I actually worked at Mc D's during the transition, so I got to see the best of both worlds ( lucky me)

When I started, we did it the way you listed but after about a year they brought in the "Queue-ing Ovens!" They were basically uber microwaves, but you would get written up if anyone heard you using the term "Microwave" or "nuke" etc in front of a customer.

So once we got these new wonders of modern science installed the process changed to:

Carmalize an assload of buns, throw them in a regular cabinet
Cook an assload of meat, throw it in a steamer cabinet.
when someone orders food, remove cold bun pan
Dress
Add cold meat
Wrap sammiches
Microwav... err put the food in the queue oven for 90 seconds
Serve

This was like in the mid 90's, so not sure how much its changed ( if any ) since.

And I STILL wont eat at Mcdonalds to this day *puke*

Stupidity on both parts. On the girl for not just throwing the burger away if she really did knowingly accidentally spill salt on it, and on the cop for being such a fucking uber pussy bitch.

Heh, reminds me of this

Ohh okay, that explains it . I worked there about 4-5 years ago or so.

Although it sounds like the methods are a bit different from the other poster too.

The Queue'ing ovens are pretty much just commercial grade microwaves as he mentioned but we never used them during lunch time, only for breakfast stuff like pancakes or whatever.

We'd cook the meat using the clamshell grill and then when the clamshell rises, you'd season the meat and put it into a grill tray (different sizes depending on which type of meat and a separate one for grilled chicken). Then when it came to preparation, you'd put the bun in the bun toaster (in the proper side mind you, crown went closest to you, bottom went in the back). Get the wrap for the sammich (or a box). They came out after maybe 15 seconds and then you began preparation with ketchup/mustard/mayo/special sauce. Then you did crap like pickles/lettuce (shredded or "whole"/onions (dehydrated or cut), then you'd do the cheese and go over to the QVC (where you kept the meat) and pull out a tray (whichever had the least time left) and use that. Once you were done, you wrapped it up and threw it (gently) up to the warming tray.

Isn't that ridiculous. A five cent piece of beef ! They could have just thrown it away!

 

[gsellis]

Considering cops are the biggest target of tampered food and the restuarant did not toss the burger immediately, connect the dots. Do not blame the cop at all. Read some of the other stories and figure that it is hard to buy the excuses.

Read the TSG report TSG. It was not just on the patty.

ok but really what kind of idiot continues to eat it? after the first bite he should have known it was over salted. but no he continues to eat it. then they send it off for testing LOL

what a waste.

Reminds me of the Futurama episode "My Three Suns".

(Bender serves up some extremely salty food, which Fry, Leela, and Zoidberg eat.)

Fry: My vision's fading. I think I'm gonna die.

Bender: There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was 10% less than a lethal dose.

Zoidberg: Uh-oh! I shouldn't have had seconds.

Back when we were 16, a buddy of mine and I decided to take jobs at separate fast food joints to see who could last longer without dying of boredom (the loser was to pay the winner $500). I took a job at McDonalds, and he went to Burger King. Needless to say, the monotony was beyond words and all of the employees were close to illiterate. Within two weeks, neither of us cared about the $500 anymore and we, in our childish immaturity, started pulling small pranks in a vain effort to ease the effects of our idiocy-inducing environments. I started telling customers that we had renamed our cheeseburgers to "Whoppers" and he would take customers' orders in the back and eat them. Soon I started increasing the saltiness of the French fries until they started looking rather obscene (there were several layers of salt on each fry); ironically the manager received no complaints, but actually several compliments as a result of this behavior.

In the end (about two and a half weeks in), my friend was fired for putting in an order for 99 Jr. Whoppers, extra pickles. They had actually made about 35 of them before a manager stepped in. I quit the next day, and sure enough he paid me $500.

I always hated it when the fries were oversalted... they were gross and I was always tempted to ask for a new batch. Or you can be tricky and just ask for saltless fries, which guarantees you a fresh batch with no extra salt. Typically, to my knowledge, the uber-salted fries tends to come from the fries on the bottom or the top. The top tends to get too much if the fries aren't spread in the tray thing properly. The bottom tends to get too much because the tray will catch a lot of salt and the scooper may get salt on it and transfer it to the fries.

Well, I can't exactly prove it, so to each his own I suppose.

i don't believe the $500 part, but the rest, sure, that could happen

Figures. Crap like this tends to happy in smallish towns in the south east.

Sad but true.
20 years ago this coming March (2008) will mark how long the a-hole who murdered my Father has been living off of the GA taxpayer's money. Thank god there are no longer two automatic appeals with the death penalty but this guy was sentanced prior to 1996 when the law was changed. He's nearly at the end of his second appeal. FINALLY.

Long story short... yes, I completely agree.

 

[moshquerade]

that wasn't salt.

Union City is not a small town. Atlanta Suburban area.

Too bad we still don't use the chair here. No brownouts, so we have plenty of juice for that dirtbag that killed your father. :|

Ahh thought it was on the outskirts of Atlanta, but I forget - that extends very far these days. Back when everything went down, the crime happened in Douglasville which is now much larger. But 20 years ago it was relatively small.
