I remember a story about a father taking his little daughter to starbucks and she wanted a mermaid drink because it was a secret menu item she might've saw online. If I remember right the workers couldn't make it unless they were told what ingredients and stuff to put in it. Forgot how the rest of the story went but I think she did get upset about it, reasonably so being a curious kid and all. I usually think "secret menu" is a fancier way of saying "custom orders", especially for places like Starbucks, it is still cool nonetheless if anyone sharing a secret menu item tells you what to ask to get you the drink or treat you want from it. Also, I thank you too for the explanation for "fast food jobs are for the...". I may not work fast food but front register at a pizza place requires serious patience and confidence. People who say such things about fast food workers clearly just don't know the troubles. Thank you to the hard workers. ❤

People would just ask for things like a “butter beer Frappuccino” and expect you to know what it was WITHOUT providing a recipe.

Funny thing is, 35 years ago, a McDonald's-trained employee was once considered the BEST restaurant trained employee that you could find in that particular segment of the fast food industry. If you were McDonald's trained, you could apply at any other restaurant, be it fast-food, or slower food, and just having McDonalds on your resume practically guaranteed you being hired, and you could go right to work without any further training necessary. Now-a-days, having McDonald's on your resume almost guarantee's the exact opposite result, as the new potential employer would have to first rid you of your old McDonald's training before they could even begin to train you for the new position. An untrained applicant would be cheaper for them to train anew than someone with McDonald's on their resume. 🥺😲😓

In the comics, Wonder Woman actually worked for a in-universe Taco Joint, called Taco Whiz. Not only did she take up the job, but she also became the first superhero to shed light on the importance of food service workers. She was glad to help out and feed the people of the community. She calls it a "dignified occupation" as she realizes that Taco Whiz is the place that most people go for cheap food they can afford. It was among Diana's favorite jobs and gave her a new sense of respect towards retail workers! While a fictional character, DC used Wonder Woman to show that being a fast food worker wasn't demeaning (Diana herself even earned minimum wage & she showed her friends that sometimes they need to mingle with regular people to truly understand the job they do as superheroes)!

Number 4 has been one of the most hurtful beliefs about the fast food industry and is one that was spread by College propaganda especially in the 90's and 00's and portrayed in media (such as saying that if you didn't went to college the only job your get is flippin burgers). That was until the recession hit and then covid, which led the public know that Fast Food AIN'T an easy job and even more with social media exposing rudeless cruel customers that further make the service job dangerous and stressful to work in. Myself having done years in Retail with high anxiety I can attest that is not a easy job and people should stop looking down on it as a job, and if they believe such classist nonsense then they should stop going to those places and leave the workers peace.

Another very good reason for the Chuck.E-Cheese pizza being so misshapen is that their pizza knifes are made specially so that a kid can't become a threat if he takes it, so they are incredibly weak. That can make it difficult to cut the pizza in a timely manner, so it's very easy to make a mistake

I guess…basically the “Special Menu,” stuff are honestly random special requests if you really think about it. Someone wanted to try combining stuff and the worker was nice enough to do it and word spread

Yeah, the "doesn't rot" thing is something that's been around for a while, and not just the burger but also the fries and Mcnuggets. I know Morgan Spurlock did the experiment with French fries as a bonus feature on supersize me and the fries looked unchanged after months. A while ago I looked up the science of it and while I don't remember all of it I do know the salt shower the fries get is a part of it. Because I was an observant child that liked salt WAY too much, I became very familiar with different salts. McDonald's salt is actually much finer than standard table salt (or at least it was at one point), so it is a lot easier for it to stick to things and with the salt shower they receive after coming out of the fryer (watch it one time, it's not a light dusting), McDonald's fries basically have a full salt coat unlike pretty much every other French fry on the market, and salt immersion is like the thing that kept Egyptian mummies preserved for thousands of years. Add your lack of moisture thing and you have the reason for the lack of rot. "It doesn't rot, so it must still be just as good as fresh." Well no. I can't say for sure with the fast food, but for snack foods just because something isn't rotten doesn't mean it's still good. I have eaten 3 years past the sell by date chocolate bars and potato chips and while they weren't rotten or frankly all that bad looking or tasting (just a little stale), I felt ill for a few hours afterward. It wasn't just "I ate food my body wasn't used to" or "well duh it was expired" (I eat junk food that's a month or 2 past the sell by and it doesn't cause me problems), but there is a limit to what "it's not rotten" means for "safe to eat and not feel sick."

12:17 "Squishy made entirely of SYRUP!" came to mind.

Its so nice to hear an optimistic look on something like the food industry and to get a wide range of information on topics like these!

On my first day of Pastry School, we were asked "How many of you bought a car today? Bought a house? Went to space?" Not many people raised their hands, if any. And then we were asked "How many of you ate today?" Nearly everyone raises their hand. "That's called job security." Food service is a necessary job. Not saying the other jobs aren't, but you don't exactly buy a car every day. You eat every day. My prospective career in pastry didn't really work out but I 100% respect a food service worker far more than I respect most people in higher paying jobs, because they have to deal with hungry people and hungry people are cranky and mean. And some people are just cranky and mean in general. Food service workers deal with way more than they should, especially considering they perform a service that people would absolutely not be able to live without.

I bought a meal later and charged myself for 2 sandwiches to make up for it. I still thinks it's funny how no one at all saw me.

In my own personal experience, you can blame the education system for the fast food worker stereotype as well as other "low skilled jobs" like retail and sanitation. Personally I was constantly hit with "go to college to become a professional so you don't have to be a laborer" messaging as were many of my peers, and I believe that's why there is a labor shortage in those "low skill" fields, and a labor surplus in the "high skill fields" (I know people with "real" college degrees like physical therapy and counseling that can't get jobs in their field of study and I think it's because everyone was told "get a degree, it'll unlock the world for you and you'll make a lot of money"). Granted, this is only in like a 30 mile radius with a sample size of 100 or so people, but no one has told me my theory is wrong yet.

I am so glad you fully explained the legal ramifications of tampering with food and how unlikely anyone would think to do it. To be fair, films like “Waiting” have parodied this, but some will obviously take this seriously. As a former fast food employee, I can say with certainly that not once ever did anyone at my store tamper with food, and I personally believed that if I saw anyone do it, I’d take action on behalf of the consumer, because I don’t care how annoying or unsavory someone is being, none of it warrants tampering with their food, regardless of legal ramifications.

As someone who worked at McDonald's, I can confirm orders would on a rare occasion be messed with if a customer was rude. It wasn't anything sinister, but short changing on fries or intentionally ignoring a special request.

Strider I’ve been following you for years and I absolutely love you latest content especially. I always get a smile on my face when I see the notification you uploaded a video. Thank you for working so hard for us, your videos are the best.

The hilarious thing about the pig fat thing is, once someone told that to me, clearly hoping my reaction would be like "🤮OH MY GOD! That's disgusting! I'm gonna be sick. I'm never eating those again!" when my response was just "so? We eat animal fat in other foods all the time. What's the big deal if that's all soft serves are? If they made animal fat taste that good, I say that's to be praised. It's not going to make me stop eating it". They stared at me in shock, it apparently never having crossed their mind that I might not care. Even though it isn't true, even if pig fat WERE what soft serves were made of, I'd still eat them, because it's no different from ordering anything else from McDonald's menu. It's all got animal fat some way or another, so the ice cream being fat too isn't a huge game changer or anything 🤷‍♀️

i actually believed #1 before, but now it makes so much sense as to why their smaller burgers don't get moldy. i've been loving your fast food vids, i love learning about this stuff and i even have a growing vintage mcdonald's collection.

Actually - i worked in restaurant as a waiter for 2 years. I don't know if that is a cultural thing or something else (talking about my country where i live in), but almost all of my friends working at restaurants or fast food chains spat or considered even once spiting to someone drink or food. If there were disliked boss or menager pleasing any worker for food or drink - it is always served with hint of someone spits.

As a Scottish man, your dig at Haggis made me laugh. Nice job.

Working in fast food or in a full service restaurant is not for young or untalented people. Before Covid, I went into a diner around the corner to pick up something to go, and while I was waiting, there was a new hire learning how to carry multiple dishes at once. She basically had to carry these heavy plates with a 1 finger each, it looked brutal. I have pretty small and dainty hands for my size, I'm not sure I could ever do that. If you're a waiter, you're gonna be running around constantly, dealing with garbage customers, carrying tons of food on hot plates, etc. If you work in fast food, you could be slaving over a hot grill, dealing with the same garbage customers, cleaning the dining area, prepping food, etc. I worked in a pita restaurant for like 5 months when I was younger, there was always something to do so it's tiring work. Every job needs someone to do it. If you like to get food from restaurants, people need to do those jobs in order for that to happen, so they should be treated well by you and compensated well by their employer. If you think that certain jobs aren't worthy of paying a living wage, then you're in favor of poverty which is quite horrible of you.

I love the lighthearted nature of your videos

I lived in a town called Lufkin TX and we had a few chinese or japenense restaurants found with skinned cats and dogs in the freezer, however it was never proven it was being fed to customers and in (i believe two of the cases) it was for "personal" use or atleast thats what they said. It didnt help the rumor in that area, at all..

I always enjoy watching your videos, always well spoken and positive. It's very refreshing in the sea of loud and controversial youtube.

I worked in fast food for over four years and never was there ever time I wasn't being watched haha like you said, employees couldn't tamper with your food even if they wanted to because there's cameras everywhere and also other coworkers who probably agree spitting in food is a disgusting response to disgusting behavior 😂 great video as always :)

The msg is so wild because it’s just a harmless thing that makes food taste amazing.

To be fair I think MatPat disbunked the pizza myth 18:20

I remember working Fast Food, and we didn't have a "secret menu" 😂 Usually whatever you order, however you order it, can be made and paid for though. I remember one time we cooked someone a breakfast sandwich with a donut as the bread per their request!

Yeah. Fast food will make whatever you order. I think the secret menu thing was probably started as an in joke for people sharing homemade combinations to order at places and some people took it seriously cause it sounds cool

13:58 I love the ‘secret’ In-N-Out menu item, Neapolitan shake!!

My passive aggressive way at getting back at rude customers was putting extra ice in their drinks so they don't get nearly as much soda as they wanted.

Hell yeah, new video.

as a mcdonald's employee, you're correct on a lot of the myths there, and trust me if I could get away with it I would enforce a secret menu lol Edit: yeah While it's not the most glamorous job, but I like it because I was in a toxic work environment in my last job and the other staff and workmakes were absolutely KIND to me

As someone who works fast food, I’ve had people ask for “secret menu items”…most of the time I have no idea what they are talking about.

I love this channel so much! I always learn all sorts of cool things!

The spitting in food thing happens a lot from my experience the cameras really aren't checked often in a lot of restaurants. Im going too say depends on were you go and how rude you are. Not as bad as being rude in a waffle house

At Starbucks we’d just make their drink decaf if they were rude

It's a crime in Florida to tamper with anyone's food, anywhere in the restaurant. Not to mention that there are hidden cameras monitoring any and all of the employees and employers who are making the food. It's a $10,000 fine. Including jail time! Yikes!😮. It's an assault. Plain and simple ; no matter how rude any and all irate customers can be ......... because of ego? Really? Seriously?) It's just not worth it. Those that have been doing that, having any harebrained ideas for idiots to be doing that.... You're not any better than they are. You're no better than they are. Have some class.

I'm personally a big fan of the Starbucks secret menu. When I am not ordering online, I just give the batista an index card with the recipe written on it. As someone who doesn't like ordering complicated orders verbally, it makes things easier for me, and hopefully the batista.

Friend, you are on of teh few listicle channels I am still subbed to. I love your content, objective discourse, friendly and engaging demeanor and your fun topics👍👍Respect from Nigeria.

Imagine being that guy that walks up to the counter at McDonald’s and says “Can I get a McGangbang?”

Could you do more Crappypasta videos? It's really funny.

#8: Holy cow yes. Whenever I see a story where someone says they can refuse service to people, I try to comment this. Bussiness that are open to general public cannot refuse service to the general public, except on specific cases (like a person being a threat to the safety of others), so there may be cases where someone refusing is ok, but on some stories they refuse service to people for any number of other reasons, which may be ilegal.

generally places can refuse to serve you if you're being a bigot or a sexist creep.

A good chunk of these McDonald's rumors I have never heard of, except for the ice cream machine and occasionally customers ask if it's working

I absolutely love your videos. You always seem like such a genuine and kind person.

I heard of the spitting in food one but it never happened to me. I am pretty sure no one does that. Especially for the health protocols the restaurant has in place

My mom was a waitress and she had a man who was so rude the entire waitress staff spit in his dessert, he never knew, and said it was delicious, she went on to be a waitress for like 10 more years, she only did it once thankfully but I can assure you that does happen rarely

Love the long videos, could watch you all day!

An example of not serving a customer or kicking a customer out is something my mom told me, she said that when my youngest sister was a baby she was crying and one of the staff kicked them out cuz she was crying and my mom said that manager gave her a free meal or something like that after they left a bad review, sure babies crying are annoying and staff and the customers have every right to be annoyed but that doesn’t give the staff the right to kick someone out just for a crying baby cuz you can’t really expect them to not go anywhere or to leave once their baby starts crying cuz they still need to go places or want to enjoy themselves,so they have to have thick skin to not do those things, sure it may be annoying but it’s only mild annoyance for most people which isn’t a reason to kick someone out, sure technically they can but their manager will most likely not be happy about it and have cameras so they know exactly who did it

It's also important to note that the MSG and dog meat myths are often rooted in racism, most often sinophobia specifically, and perpetuated by either genuinely racist people or those with unintentional racist biases due to how they were raised. In the US, sinophobia runs rampant(see: people blaming China, or worse, all Chinese people for problems when it's more nuanced than blaming a country or entire nationality on an issue that may not have even originated in the country in question) with people either not stopping to realize that they're being racist, or doing so on purpose.

Another banger video! Love the use of the Bridge Zone theme!

Josh, I love the background music you chose for the end of your vid! From a SB game I used to play all the time: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman for PS2/Gamecube! I loved playing that so much! Beat it several times! You rock! 🤩

Thanks to the likes of Binging With Babish, Omnivorous Adam, Joshua Weismann, and even Uncle Roger, MSG is making a comeback and its myth has lost a lot of steam. I even have a jar of the stuff myself

for the chuck-e-cheese one there should be a minimum of eight or six slices and twelve or ten slices only if requested, that way the pizza pies won't be looking so janky when they get to your table!!

As someone who is on the spectrum and in college, I like working at McDonald's to help pay the bills. And I am no where close to talentless, I get positive comments for my voice acting on the drive thru and anything I get paper and do a simple sketch. McDonald's is just a stepping stone to becoming an animator/artist, and thankfully I am at one with a working ice cream machine.

I first heard about secret menus in college or like right before it, and one of my friends said "yeah, you can probably find it in a college town like this [where the employees are collegw kids and they'll think its fun to do]." I also heard that since Taco Bell is like just 6 base ingredients, the "secret menu" is just things that aren't listed anymore but still have all the ingredients in the back (like if there was a promotional taco made with quesadilla chicken instead of the beef that bbn is no longer listed, you can probably still order it and the receipt will say the item).
