- The illusion breaker this one turns out to be
“Worked at Panera bread. The soups come in frozen bags in boxes that say “Institution food” on the side of the box. We would throw them in a hot water cooker that would bring them up to the temperature from freezing blocks to near boiling hot bags. Run in the back and fill up the empty pots from the food line. Sometimes we didn’t get to fully thaw out the soup in time and put some cold ones out there often enough. I didn’t mind the soups there so much but this would ruin the illusion for some customers if they knew.”
Stop please, these restaurant secrets are killing my appetite.
- What do you have to say, dear vegetarians?
“Veggie burgers at any fast food place. They take forever as they have to get chipped out of the freezer, microwaved and then thrown on the same grill they use for the regular meat.”
- Sharing is caring, and they make you practice it
“Used to work at a Sonic. After 8pm we would get busy with shakes and cleanliness got thrown out the window. You’re getting a little bit of everyone’s shake mixed in with yours.”
- The frappe mix that never leaves, maybe it has sentimental attachments. These restaurant secrets are grossing me out
“Used to work in a Dairy Queen. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy anything with the frappe mix. From the Misty things to the Moolatte. That mix smells horribly and in most stores is quite old, never leaving the machine. After a couple of days, it smells HORRIBLY BAD.”
If you would still order that, huh, well…
