A message from your friendly fast food worker, Corey in Mount Pleasant, Michigan: “Sometimes, food service customers do not fully appreciate the people/work that goes into making their orders. It’s thought that spitting in someone’s sandwich is routine, but we often find the secret messages to be more satisfying.”

Makes me glad I went to a local deli that I know who works there for breakfast.

I wonder what offense the customer committed to warrant a “Fuck You”? Actually coming to the restaurant and ordering seven burgers?

Because God forbid that someone who works at a burger joint actually, um, makes burgers. Without getting pissed that they actually have to work.

Well that explains why there’s never enough ketchup on the burgers at BK.

BULLSHIT!
That’s right I’m calling bullshit on this entire submission. There’s no way this is real. Seriously, people, when is the last time you ordered a burger from any fast food place that wasn’t swimming in condiments?
Hey, I’d happily eat the “F” in that “fuck you” train if that’s the only way I can get a sandwich that doesn’t have a pint of ketchup on it but I know that’s jusdt not going to happen because people who work in fast food don’t care enough to do something like this unless they think it will get them published on PAN.

As a former BK worker, I must make mention that the ketchup does not go on until after the lettuce and tomato are on the top bun…..amateurs…..

As a former BK employee, that isn’t near the required amount of ketchup. They should have written that in mustard; that would be the right amount, or so I’ve heard. But awesome mayo spreading – props.

Yeah, that will teach them! Write the letter F on one person’s hamburger in ketchup, put a meat patty on it and serve it to him. The next person gets the U. BWAHAHA.
The person will never actually know the prankster did anything. That’s why sticking a used band-aid into the burger somewhere would be far more satisfying.

You know…I worked in fast food for a couple of years, and the food prep people really *DON’T* have it as bad as this person is suggesting. Sure every once in a while you get a douchebag who makes your day miserable, but honestly how hard is it to hold the pickles every 5th burger?
Although I do have to thank the person for making his passive-aggressiveness harmless. Nothing wrong with getting out some anger if it’s not going to hurt anybody. That’s definitely better than defiling someone’s food, and the satisfaction of doing it is identical IMO.
And for the record, I never spit in anyone’s food. Ever. I had some coworkers who occasionally liked to employ in that kind of asshattery–though coughing on food was generally their worst offense–and it disgusted me beyond belief. No karma in the universe is worth the momentary satisfaction of hawking a loogey in someone’s sandwich.

That’s great- I used to write similar things in people’s quesodillas at Taco Bell if they were irritating/rude/etc. or I was having a bad day. Not with ketchup, though, of course

The reason there isn’t enough ketchup is because the customer was screaming through the drive-thru that, “You people better not be piling on all the ketchup to get away with undercooking my burgers, dadgumit!” The sentiment was repeated three or four times, each time louder, as though the customer thought the employee was deaf. Also, notice the almost-empty condiment bins? That’s because the jerkface that wanted seven special order burgers (“I SAID LIGHT KETCHUP! DID YOU GET THAT? DON’T BE BURNING MY BURGERS AND COVERING IT UP WITH YOUR STUPID KETCHUP!”), eight shakes, five orders of fries with no salt (“I want them no salt so I know you made them fresh. You people always try to give me the old, soggy fries. Haw haw haw! Oh, and could I get some salt packets?”)? He came in two minutes before closing time.
I wasn’t there, but having spent four years of my youth working in fast food, this was a scenario that played out many, many times.

Fast food jobs are supposed to suck. It makes you want to get a better job. People who complain about having those jobs should go to college or night school so that they can get out of their shitty, minimum-wage job.

Woah, American fast-food workers get minimum wage? Why don’t all those waiters and waitresses just work in fast-food restaurants instead, and save time spent bitching about not getting the tips they so rightfully deserve?

Obviously
The buns spell out F-U-C-K-X-O-U, Xou being the snippy little woman from the nail salon. She always orders seven bacon cheeseburgers, sans bacon. Don’t you dare call them “cheeseburgers”, though. You have to say they are bacon cheeseburgers with no bacon or she’ll start shrieking that you’ve gotting her order wrong.

If the losers who work in BK would put down their joints and stop venting their anger at customers (who pay their wages), they could go to vo-tech school and get some training for something useful, then people would appreciate them. At least they have jobs, the ingrates. A monkey could serve that crap and with a better attitude and clearer skin.

Q
I right now work in a fast food restaurant, and it’s not because I’m lazy or lack an education. I graduated from college and haven’t been able to find employment in my field (social welfare and justice). Quit assuming that fast food workers are lazy or retarded for working in fast food, the economy sucks and hurts a lot of college educated people.
As for the note, I fully understand, because sometimes customers are legitimately stupid. We recently fixed up automated greeters in the drive thru so that it could suggestive sell certain menu items.. however, before, they all had female voices, thus more easily ignored, but now this one had a male voice. I’m taking an order at another speaker (we have 2 of them that people can order from) when someone approaches my window.
Me: Ma’am, I didn’t take your order yet.
Woman: But I gave my order to that nice gentleman!
Me: Ma’am, that was an automated greeter.
Woman: Oh, well you should still have my order, I already gave it to someone!
Me: …..

They never understand no cheese. I get cheese even when I don’t mention it, and it’s not actually a part of the item. (Regular Whopper for instance)
I hate American cheese. Beyond that i have no problems with FF workers.

if you havent worked in FF, i think its impossible for you to assume what the job is like, as far as difficulty and such.
if you do work FF, and you work on the morning shift and all you do is prep salads and slice tomatoes, dont comment on how FF isnt hard, because frankly….you work a sissy shift.

This is probably the BK right across from the CMU freshman meat market. Every night at 2am, this burger guy probably deals with an excessive amount of drunk 18 year olds away from home for the first time.
It would work my nerves, too.
