Alright, spoonchat is from the beginning of the thread but jesus christ people you wash a spoon without having it splash everywhere by holding the head of the spoon pointed down, and hold it so the water hits the handle right above where the head is and runs down over the head and rinses it.

The only off-the-menu shenanigans you can pull are to have them cut the bread "the old way," but good luck finding a Subway employee who remembers what that means. "Cut it like a boat" usually gets you close enough if you don't want your meatballs spilling out everywhere.

When I worked at A&W when I was still a teen, we had a dude who was a regular who ordered burgers he named after himself; the people that had been working there longer knew what it was and what was on it and how to ring it up, but I did not and I felt like a subject of the dumbest ridicule ever when I had to ask my boss about it. Like, instead of just saying what he wanted on the burger, the dude just said he wanted the burger he had named after himself to a person who had never seen him as if it's a real menu item. What???

Choco1980 posted:Has the website https://hackthemenu.com been posted yet? It definitely belongs here with its incredibly smug tone while having 99.5% of the "secret menu" items it lists from around the country be weird custom order crap that someone coined a name they thought was clever for (especially the dirty ones like the McGangbang, or a Dr. Pepper Orgasm from Sonic). The comments on each entry almost always include people who either have worked at that restaurant or were customers, explaining that that ordering that item either won't work, or else you'll just need the detailed (and often expensive) ingredient list to get them to make it. The whole Dairy Queen page is funny because each and every item there is on the standard menu pretty much nationwide. I was a service manager at Chipotle years ago, and pretty much everything on that list is either effectively on the menu (as in they have buttons for it on the POS) or they are so obvious they might as well be. Yeah, no poo poo, you can get extra salsas if you want. I had a guy who came in every drat day and probably got a quarts worth of sour cream in his burrito bowls. We'll dump some beans on your bag of chips, sure, whatever. Nobody who works there cares about that. What they do care about is the motherfuckers that order those goddamn burritodilla things, especially during a lunch rush. Usually most stores only have two tortilla presses, both of which should be available for that exact purpose: warming tortillas. Any time you order a quesadilla or anything like it, you hog one of those presses, which generally slows down the throughput. This seems like a really minor thing, but it has a profound effect on the line workers. Pretty much everyone who worked at my store hated this, and if you order a stuffed quesadilla (the actual term), you will be charged for a quesadilla and a burrito, which was something like $11 when I worked there. Everyone who works at that restaurant makes minimum wage and about $3 a shift in tips. Just order a burrito and leave. Also nobody is ever going to make you that taco salad bowl, ever, unless you're close friends with the guy who's running the back kitchen. Even then, chipotle doesn't stock the special molds required to make that flanged "taco salad bowl" shape (or at least they didn't seven years ago), so even if you manage to convince them to make it for you, it's gonna basically be a warped disk of fried flour that marks you as the kind of rear end in a top hat who wants special food at a fast food joint. gently caress this website for making me remember how awful it was to work at Chipotle and how lovely the customers generally are. Guess everyone's culinary career has to start at some awful place or another... Radio Help has a new favorite as of 12:34 on Sep 24, 2014 |

Radio Help posted:burritodilla I went to Chipotle and a group of four people ordered those, individually, during a rush. Something like 8 people ordered, paid, and were seated by the time the last of that group got their stupid loving calorie bomb, meanwhile the line behind was growing out the door. I felt second-hand irritation because for all the loving effort, they didn't even TRY to finish more than half of each of their abominations. They effectively slowed down the entire restaurant just to take no less than 15 food/selfies and eat one-and-a-half goddamn "burritos" between them.

Wasabi the J posted:ughhhh You know what probably happened after that? Someone in either PATCH or HR was either watching or would eventually watch the security camera footage from that day (upper managers at Chipotle were almost always watching the live footage from the cameras, which were exclusively pointed at the employees) and forced the general manager or service manager to chew out the line for not getting people out fast enough. I was actually expected to do this for that exact same situation many, many times, and that is why I still harbor hatred for that loving menu item seven years after the fact.

A friend of mine has successfully accomplished his life goal to get this to work, the burrito joint near us recognizes a "Russ Burrito" as a bean and cheese, add carne asada. Even works with the new employees, even works if Russ isn't there. Took him years. Also the Five Guys secret menu stuff on that website has a "Double Cheeseburger with two grilled cheese sandwiches for bread" which, fine whatever, some people might want to eat that, but the site describes it as refreshing. I feel like that's a poor word choice.

This is me. I am now actually considering ordering a "fuckton of olives" at some point. Subways in Georgia always wanted to limit me to like six olive slices on a whole sandwich and threatened to charge me more for extras. It's not like I was asking for a THIRD NAPKIN in a subway or something, but I feel like I should get enough of what I'm ordering to have it in every bite, at least.

Are you loving kidding me, website? One slightly less stupid here is that this "secret menu item" consists of asking for someone to put a little of something on something else. DO YOU DARE!?

For instant mashed potato they're not bad. What kind of loving failure do you have to be not know how to make mashed potatos though that you need to buy them in a bag? Life hack : Put some potatos in a pot of boiling water for 20 minutes, or until soft, pour out water, add milk and butter to taste, use a fork or potato masher to smoosh it all together, and eat. Bonus hack : add cheese/sour cream. Anyways, its right there at KFC under sides, and the meal deals always say "with choice of sides". I remember hearing that a lot of fast food places are no longer permitting these off menu items because A) they take longer to make and b) not all staff are familiar with them, if at all anyone.

twistedmentat posted:I remember hearing that a lot of fast food places are no longer permitting these off menu items because A) they take longer to make and b) not all staff are familiar with them, if at all anyone. Depends on the fast food place and the item in question. Like the BK Veggie isn't listed the menu (at least anywhere I've been), but you can pretty much order it at any Burger King and they don't really care because it doesn't take long to make. Something like the taco salad at Chipotle where it takes extra steps and what not, I could see them pretty much telling the customer to go gently caress themselves in service industry speak.

She said that "sandwich artists" are limited to how much of any single item they put on the sandwich. I can't remember if it was a decision made by the franchise's owner or if it was at the corporate level, but I'm guessing it's the former. It was weirdly specific, too: like four pickles, six olives, ten leaves of spinach. I have no idea if that was unique to her location, but I'm guessing it's probably not uncommon.

If you're going to get fast food, you already don't give a gently caress about your arteries and just want something drowning in salt, fat, oil, and/or sugar. McDonalds has just as much salt/fat/oil/sugar as everything else, so I don't see what's wrong with it.

I didn't give a poo poo and just put however many I picked up in a small handful if they wanted them. They didn't pay me enough to care. Also usually gave a bit of extra meat if the manager wasn't there.
