Hardees: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

[Pastfinder]

Good Burgers,
Bad Management,
UGLY service, or better yet, no service at all

My first job was at Hardees.

I agree management SUCKS.

And sanitation is a JOKE. The fry sauce is kept in an open bucket in the back room, not in the cooler...and people smoke in that room, where all the paper goods are all too. Secondly I was orded to scrape spille frysauce off the ground with a spatula and put it back in the bucket. Third, when the drink lids fell on the floor, you were supposed to dip them in the wash water and put them back. The wash water had sanitizer in it that was not good to injest, when you washed you also rinsed.. you didn't rinse the lids. Fourth, they cleaned the top of the grille only once every week or so, and the sides NEVER got cleaned, there was grease and dirt built up two inches thick everywhere except the knobs and the top. The meat cabinets were never cleaned. They didn't have soap, you just put sanitizer on your hands, and rinsed. The floors had an 1/8 inch layer of grease on them, the fry vats were black, the ketchup was just poored into the same container over and over without being washed, there were thick layers of dried out crap.

One time I caught the jackass manager jacking off in the office (I heard him when it "happened&quot he had his crap all over his hands. He yelled at me, wiped it on his cloths and went back to cooking WITHOUT washing his hands.

I worked 8 weeks before I walked off when one manager threw me against the grille and my hands landed on it. He threw me against it because I slipped on the greasy floors and spilled a box of meat, which he picked up and started to cook after I changed.

Needless to say I called the health dept, and my dad called his lawyer. It was a mess, we decided not to sue, the satisfaction of watching the place get shut down and the regional manager on down (all management in our region) get fired.

I worked at McDonalds for a year after that. Absolutely CLEAN. I mean the floors shined every morning, the walls, the stainless, all shined. I mean it was CLEANER THAN HOME, and my kitchen is fairly clean.

Don't apply that hardees story to all restraunts, only to the Hardees here, and if you feel compelled, at hardees everywhere.

I dunno. I like the Hardee's near me. The manager is real friendly. I'm through there once or twice a week on my way to work or school to get a couple biscuits. Go there sometimes for lunch or dinner after a late class.

The place is always clean, everyone is friendly. I like it. Better than the McDonald's a bit down the street. Ketchup.. uhh.. we're out of that. 10 minute wait at the drivethru when I'm the only one there. They just suck.

Favorite is Chick-Fil-A tho. Good stuff.
