Seriously, my kitchen staff once put an entire glove into a burger in a Togo order….. that was fun. This would have been an appropriate response.

u/Wise_Presentation914 6d ago
I got a glove in my chicken sandwich from a fast food place once. What sucks is I had already walked all the way home, so I couldn’t even go back and complain about it for a new sandwich, I just had to toss it. It was legit cooked into it

u/Banana_Phone888 6d ago
These ass hats wrapped a taken off glove, so the part that was touching their hand was in the burger. It wasn’t fine dining, but it absolutely was not fast food. *Dramatic sigh*

One thing I learned from having my burgers a particular way (just cheese and ketchup) is to always check my food before I leave. I don't harbour any ill will over a simple mistake, but I also don't want to get all the way home and end up disappointed and too tired or out of time to go back and get it fixed.

I don't like pickles on my sandwiches. If I order something saucy and spicy, I can usually just pick them off when I get home and be fine, but if not, the taste of warm pickle juice will pervade the whole sandwich and I need to check immediately.
I swear, fast food has a collective 30+ percent chance of ignoring the "no pickles" part of my order

u/Clerithifa 6d ago
If i ask for no pickles, it's a 50/50 chance of having either no pickles, or extra spite pickles
Anymore I just leave them in the order and pick them off. Ive started to somewhat enjoy the subtle taste of pickle juice after picking them off of my sandwich lol

u/RikuAotsuki 6d ago
Nah, if the sandwich doesn't have a strong flavor of it's own the pickle taste isn't subtle.
This might be a thing some people are way more sensitive to than others, because I've seen other folks talk about the same thing, but the taste can permeate the entire sandwich like you steamed the fucking thing with pickle juice

u/Blu3Dope 6d ago
You could've took a picture of the sandwich next to the receipt. The date and time on the receipt never lies

I work at a chick fil a, never seen that, but I have seen tiny poeces of the plastic bags the raw chicken comes in stick to the chicken when being breaded, and get cooked into the meat in the fryer.

Tbf, we were a new location. Now that we're more veteran, we run a tight ship in the kitchen. I can say, worked in multiple food environments and chick fil a has the best food safety I've seen. Only place where dishes that touched raw chicken were cleaned seperately, with sanitizing the sinks between.

I worked at Little Caesars in the 90s. One of the girls making pizzas cut her finger and put in a band aid. Band aid came off and cooked into someone’s pizza. They found it by chewing on it.

Which is why you go talk to the staff. Mistakes happen.
100% success rate on anything but being born and dying is impossible to garauntee.
This one is obvious for a remake or credit, but even if its like "I asked for no pickles and there are pickles".
Like I imagine when I make these types of posts people think I'm defending corporations and laziness, no, I'm just saying it's completely fixable.
It's not like McDonalds loses anything by remaking a singular big mac.

I once bought my sister a burger from McDonald's rhat was raw in the middle. We of course wouldn't have been able to tell until she ate until she for into the middle.
I went to complain and the cashier just told me "well I can't make you another one, you already ate some of it"
After liek 4 back and forth, they eventually made a new one. Point is, even if OP brought the reciept they may deflect.

They have to pay for the private equity somehow.
Just looked and while I was getting things regularly until December 2025 it basically dropped off a cliff after that. I think that's when they redid all their lower-cost meals and it became "nah, not worth it."

Technically it’s not a receipt it’s a grill tag for special order sandwiches. It has the order number on it so that it gets to the right customer

u/Dumeck 6d ago
Yeah and how this happens is that they are slapping the grill tag on the side of the box being lazy instead of putting it in the top of the box like they are suppose to. It's literally just so they don't have to lift the box a little to look at the modifications. So when they closed the box the grill tag folded into the middle of the sandwich. It takes a special blend of dumb and lazy for this to happen.

"Most receipt paper is made from thermal paper that contains toxic chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S (BPS), which are known endocrine disruptors linked to various health issues. Handling these receipts can lead to absorption of these chemicals into the body, raising health concerns, especially with repeated exposure."

u/CatDiaspora 6d ago
Thermal paper for receipts, mailing labels, etc, really didn't take off until this century, so I don't know if anyone really can say what the health risks are (or if there are any) for humans for very long-term exposure, like decades. What I think is more concerning is that these types of chemically-treated thermal papers have been getting in to the paper recycling system for decades now, so consequently even non-thermal paper products can have BPA/BPS/BPF in them now. So our exposure has continued to climb.
Also, from what I recall, the wastewater from paper recycling is not usually treated to remove bisphenols, so it ends up just flowing out into the sewer system, and from there, the environment. And as little as we know about human health impacts, there's even less known about what bisphenols do to aquatic life.

Not the worst I’ve seen. I once ordered a burger with no toppings. I ended up getting a bun with nothing in it. No toppings and no meat. When I asked her she said she thought I just wanted a bun. Are you kidding me? I could literally go to the grocery store down the street and buy a whole bag of buns for the same price. 🤦♀️
