Do fast-food workers really spit in your food?

Question

I know we would never really know if our food was spit on (or worse), but does it actually happen? If you work or have worked in fast-food (or I guess ANY kind of food), have you ever done that?

Answer 1

I was an idiot child with a temper and was just disciplined by my boss.   I was working in a bakery making bread pudding.    To "get even", I dumped the bread cubes on the floor and jumped up and down on them.

I still feel guilty about my idiotic actions.

However, I am sure I am not the only one.   And, I don't think it's limited to  fast food establishments  

Answer 2

I have worked in the glorious fast food industry.  I never had the guts to do it but it does happen.  Some of the people I worked with spat in people's food.  Sometimes because they thought the customer was rude and sometimes because they just felt like it and thought it was funny.  It does happen but not often.

Answer 5

I have worked at many fast food places. I have seen people pick up hamburgers off the ground and then give them to you. A lot of people pick at the food in the places also, like the bacon, pickles and stuff. I've seen people (even though there is a sign there) NOT wash their hands after using the restroom.

For the most part - most people don't do those kinds of things and managers are there watching too so that helps. LOL

Answer 11

I've heard that before, but it's not always true.

If you're nice to them, then they wont spit in your food.

And give them a big tip  :P

Answer 12

No they don't what you hear is the worse case. Most fast food workers don't have time to do such things. However don't chance being obnoxious to them you don't want to be in the worse case  

Answer 13

Well of course you know it goes on, but most people would probably just ignore it.. but you do have these young, stupid kids that doesnt care.. and dont realize what trouble you can get into..  if someone ever done me like that and i knew about it... i would lay them out right there..

Answer 14

I have worked in many food places over the years.  I have  never seen anyone do this, nor have I ever.  It could happen though.

**Some people are really sick**

Answer 15

Any where that you go out to eat can be a potential hazzard!

I try to stick to places that I know and trust...otherwise you have to just not think about it! Or avoid it all together!

Answer 16
