Gasp! Restaurant Horror Stories!

[OctaviusINC]

If you've ever earned your keep by flipping burgers, you already know what kind of horrifying sights await anyone brave enough to venture into the greasy back room of a fast food restaurant. As for the rest of you, let me assure you, it's much worse than you can imagine back there.

So citizens of Superherohype...let's open up a discussion here...what's some of the worst things you've seen in the fast food/restaurant business? Did you witness awful acts when you were an employee? Perhaps when you were a customer?

Did you deal with terrible customers? Robberies? Drug Deals?

Take all those awful experiences and dump 'em right here.

It's the restaurant horror stories thread.

Here's one to start us off...

Little Caesar's was my first job and I took a lot of pride in my work, even though almost all of those listed things happened.

I remember dropping a tray of raw dough on the ground, luckily it landed tray down, but it still fell on the ground. I picked it up and walked over to the trash can to start throwing it away. My manager came running over and stopped me. He kept saying "Don't waste don't waste." And I can understand because we usually made a set amount of dough based on the average amount of people who came in. If we didn't have enough dough, we lost profit. If we made too much dough, we lost profit.

If you walk into a LC and see them making pizzas, you'll see a rack/tray on the ******er that lifts the pizza pans up while you put toppings on them. While the ******er counter catches any loose cheese or toppings. At the end of the day if we're close to running out of cheese, you have to scrap all the old cheese and just use that instead of opening a new bag.

Or the fact that most of us were still in high school, and couldn't take breaks because our boss would work us a low amount of hours. I, however, was working close to full time, with no breaks. I was 16. I remember kids running into the freezer and just grabbing handfuls of pepperoni or ham and eating it because they were so hungry. I remember buying huge 2 liters of soda and just chugging them when I was hungry.

I never saw any of my tips. Money tips were never allowed only plastic tips. If someone used a debit card, or credit card and tipped me. My boss had to come over and do "something" to take the tip money out. He never did. No one ever did. I think I lost about 400 dollars worth of tips.

I don't think I ever saw anyone clean the bathroom in the 2 years I worked there.

I always washed my hands. No one else did.

They'd do drag racing in the back.

A lot of drug dealing. A lot.

I also remember my second manager having sex with an underage girl in the bathroom. I remember my first manager asking to see my boobs or else I'd have to work extra hours. And I remember a lot of people towel snapping me. I came home one night bleeding because of how hard they were hitting me. It was all fun and games to them, and if I said anything I lost my job. And the sad part was that I needed this job because it was keeping me away from my abusive father.

Customers were always the worst though. I'd deal with all that above crap a million times over if it meant I'd never have to deal with customers. I had a man throw a cup of sauce at me when I wouldn't give it to him for free. We had just made the sauce and it was very...very hot. I was making 5 bucks an hour...it was definitely not worth all the crap I had to endure.

I responded to a call from the manager of a KFC in my city of an employee urinating on bins of frozen chicken prior to them being cooked. Franchise owner had installed cameras throughout the store and two employees were seen/recorded pissing in several bins.

The footage wasn't reviewed by the manager until 72 hours later so unfortunately we couldn't stop the food from being used (that we know of), but we did end up arresting both kids. They were charged with tampering with food and a couple other things.

 

[NickNitro]

"Tampering with food" and pissing on food should be in separate categories.

Soo gross!

 

[Victarion]

An older creeper employee had sex with a younger one (18, 19 maybe) in the freezer at a restaurant near my house.

 

[NickNitro]

Its like a more real, horrifying version of Waiting..........

1. A former (needless to say) deli manager had sex with an employee in the cold beer section of my supermarket.

2. I now work in that deli. A former employee once got irritated with a customer showing up at the last minute to order some potato salad. The employee went to get a new spoon to scoop the customers salad but first stuffed it down his pants it to scratch his crotch. Or so he told me.

3. A homeless man smeared his feces on the bathroom walls.

4. A seeing eye dog pooped in the produce department.

5. A little girl peed herself in front my my department. Fortunately her grandmother cleaned her up.

 

[NickNitro]

Hobgoblin it just reminds me of the movie TED where Ted doesnt want to work a tthat supermarket and he just does horrible stuff to try and get fired. LOL

Frank: "You had sexual intercourse on top of the produce that we sell to people?!"
Ted: "I did her with a parsnip. Then I sold that same parsnip to a family of four."
Frank: "You have guts, and I like guts. You're promoted!"
Ted: "Do you have a problem or something?"

 

[KevanG]

Ted was a lot better than I expected.

I've heard that a certain O'Charlies staff members are all addicted to smoking weed and some even take prescription pain killers like candy on a daily basis.

Yeah and they totally make their salads by hand, with no gloves.

One manager at a Burger King my ex worked at got a complaint from a customer that a burger wasn't "moist" enough, so (unknown to him), she licked it and gave it back to him.

 

[Matt Mortem]

The manager and a few employee's at the Sizzler near my hometown used to smoke pot behind the restaurant on their breaks.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

My sister got a cricket in her Vegetarian Salad at a Gunther Tooties (50's-style diner in Colorado). It was gross, but she was calm about it and even joked to the waitress that she specifically asked for no meat in her salad before pointing out the cricket. We ended up getting our whole meal comped so it wasn't so bad. We haven't been back since however.

I ****ING LOVE Gunther Tooties. Used to eat there all the time as a kid. Never had anything like that happen though.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Yeah, their chicken sandwich is the bomb! We'll probably go back sometime in the future. It's one of our favorite restaurants to go as a family, but that last experience turned us off for a little while.

This guy right here gets it! I order that sandwich every single time I go. I live in AZ now, but every time I visit my dad in CO, I have to go to Gunther Tooties.

Thats probably most restaurant/stores.

The thing I hated about my previous job at a restaurant, was the dirty talk and innuendo (mostly from the male cast members) with regards to female guests. Those boys loved to go into extreme detail on how situations would play out, usually when said guests---or anyone really, were in earshot.

No spitting or any of gross stuff with food (as far as I knew) but many of my fellow cast members purposely screwed up orders---missing items from orders, etc. I always thought, and said, what does that do, that means they get free food and a refund---like really, jokes on them giving them a free meal...

 

[Piper Maru]

No matter how many restaurant horror stories I hear, I still go out to eat.

 

[Brain Damage]

I worked at a restaurant in Boston for a summer. Twice we had people CLEARLY messed up on some sort of drugs walk in and start wandering the premise.

Also, during my first week, three homeless-looking guys walked in and each ordered the lobster dinner and a beer. The first two guys left one after another, but the manager stopped the third before he could. Ten minutes later the cops showed up and booked him.

I saw that movie and thought to myself "So that's what I've been doing wrong! I haven't been nailing check out clerks in the department! Here I've actually been doing my job, hence why I'm still working nights!"

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I heard horror stories from my girlfriend about the Ryan's she worked at in town. Said people used to sneak off for sex in the freezer several times. Also said one guy claimed he *********ed into the ranch dressing more than once.

I don't go there anymore to say the least.

 

[Lily Adler]

That reminds me of a rumored incident with sour cream in a Taco Bell.

 

[Brain Damage]

So, always avoid white food? :|

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I forgot, despite the fact a friend works there, I don't eat at the Gatti's Pizza here in town, since my friend said they generally dick around and smoke weed in the back until they actually have to work.
