The Worst Fast Food Employees Of The Year
Fast food restaurants are tightly controlled operations full of rules and regulations designed to keep customers happy.
But some employees can slip through even the most stringent vetting processes.
We surveyed news stories to find the worst fast food workers of the year.
Some employees took gross photos on the job, while others were accused of harassing customers.
One thing’s for sure — you won’t want these employees making your burger.
The Wendy’s employee who guzzled a Frosty from the tap.
The Burger King employee who put up a racist “help wanted” sign.
The popular fast food franchise declined to disclose the location of the sign when a photo started making the rounds on the Internet, but told TheBlaze it was posted by a disgruntled employee.
“We have been informed by the franchisee that immediate actions were taken to terminate the employee responsible,” Burger King said in an email.
The Subway worker who allegedly threatened a customer who asked for ketchup on his Philly cheesesteak.
“[The customer] wants ketchup on the Philly cheese steak and I have never put — we don’t even have ketchup at Subway — I’ve never put ketchup on anybody’s sandwich,” Lawrence Ordone, a Subway worker, told local station WFTV.
After that, the customer allegedly “mouthed off” to Ordone and a confrontation ensued. According to the customer, Ordone yelled at him, blocked the door, and threatened to kill him.
Ordone lost his job.
The Burger King worker who tweeted a photo of himself laying on hamburger buns.
The picture showed the employee sprawled out on hamburger buns next to a disturbing-looking bucket.
“How many Whopper Juniors do you think I’ve made?” the tweet said, according to Kotaku. “See if you can figure out it for yourself.”
The employee received a “strict reprimand,” according to Burger King.
The Taco Bell employee who licked taco shells and posted a photo on the Internet.
Taco Bell tracked down and fired the employee after the photo went viral.
In a statement on its website, the company said that the photos were taken during an employee training session and the tacos were not meant to be sold to customers.
“We do not believe these employees harmed, or intended to harm, anyone,” the company said in the release. “But we deplore the impressions this has caused to our customers, fans, franchisees, and team members.”
The Burger King worker whose drug pipe ended up in a kid’s meal.
The pipe was intercepted by the child’s grandfather, who turned it in to police.

The employee told police he hadn’t intended to give the pipe away. He was charged with possession of drugs, according to NBC.

Jody Marks was buying dinner for herself and her husband at an Australian McDonald’s when she says the cashier began gesturing at her chest and asking if she had plastic surgery, NT News reported.
When Marks and her husband complained to the manager, he suggested it wasn’t a big deal.
Eventually, Marks got in touch with the franchise owner and received free food.
The Subway “sandwich artists” who took photos of themselves violating food.
