When I was 16 and got my first job at McDonalds, we would cut all kinds of corners. For example, burger patties are supposed to be tossed an hour after they are cooked if they are not used. We would just reset the timers on the warming machine. Sometimes those patties would be in there all day. When our supply truck came, there would always be maggots frozen on the tops of boxes. We would just brush them off and continue unloading the truck. We would constantly cook food we knew wouldn’t be needed, so we could pretend to throw it away, but really we’d take bags of food to our cars.
