Mid after noon. August 1st. 4 other customers. The place is filthy. Floors, tables… Is it rocket science to get the cheese ON the bun? Ever thought of changing the oil in the fryer. Filling the ketchup dispensers? I hear lots of giggling in the back. Rather see some cleaning in the front. My worse fast food experience ever.

where is this place,name names so we can avoid this horrible place
Wow, what are you, a manager?
Most fast food places are like this from time to time, especially when they go through a staff change. I’ve went into places that are normally spotless to find them looking like they went through a hurricane.
When I walk into a place that looks like this, I always turn around and leave and go someplace else.
they never look like they do on the picture
What do you expect? A five-star experience? You get what you pay for…
We can’t “name names,” it’s against the rules of the Coast!
However, I’ve always found a certain golden-arched establishment on Spring Garden Road to be particularly filthy, for obvious reasons of course.
this has to be McDs on SGR.
its always dirty and filled with bums/wiggers and nothing is ever clean. garbage is usually overflowing too but staff are too busy chatting to one another or smoking to notice.
Not sure…kind of reminds me of the establishment by the MacDonald bridge in Dartmouth…the one with the little girl as a mascot…
You see a lot of grungy fast food restaurants. Particularly at night time when the young ones are working. I can’t say I blame them. You wouldn’t see me giving a fuck for minimum wage.
So what would you give a fuck for? What a shitty attitude.
Hahaha, young people shouldn’t give a fuck for minimum wage?! That’s the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a long time. If you’re 15/16/17/18 then you’re really not entitled anything more than minimum-fucking-wage!
If its your job to keep an establishment clean and you’re getting a pay cheque, then you’re somewhat obligated to give a fuck. If not then quit, stay at home and play PS3 all day.
I love how teenagers think they deserve all this respect for doing nothing nowadays. Get the fuck out of here with that ridiculous shit.
“I’m 16 so I shouldn’t have to clean up at my job!” Ridiculous…….*shakes head* No wonder people cannot stand teenagers today.
Ever notice the trend at the SGR golden arch place and the restaurant with the picture of some girl named Wendy on Quinpool when it comes to staff members sporting name tags that simply show their “nickname” rather than their real name.
I’m pretty sure this goes against corporate rules and the franchisee/managers should be held accoutable.
would any of us really like to serve this slop at minimum wage for the greater glory of corporate America?
If the place isn’t clean; go elsewhere.
Another radical suggestion; get your arse out of bed and buy the makings of a superior sandwich from the supermarket and that way you know what’s in it and if the maker is sanitary….
Nobody WANTS to serve slop for minimum wage, but nobody forces the kids to be there either. If you agree to take the job and want the pay check, then fucking do the simple mind-numbing shit you are paid to do.
So instead of just walking out after noticing the disgusting conditions, you ordered and ate the food?
You get what you deserve dumbass.
Lot’s of other places to get cheap grub in the downtown that would have been a better choice.
Serve the slop…who the fuck wants to eat that slop??? It’s all bad for you…and it’s all gross.
Also, regardless of your pay…if you have a job, and you are being paid, you are obligated to do said job. Otherwise, like someone else said, quit, stay home and play your PS3 or your Xbox360 all fucking day.
And exactly how much do you think you should get paid for working at a fast food joint?? The food is all premade, all you have to do is heat it up, put it together and serve it. When you ring it in, even the cash register does everything for you…just push a couple buttons. Get over yourself, if you want something better…go find it, it’s not going to come to you.
You get what you pay for?
HAHA no never!!! i usualy get a burger with lettece and i have to put it on myself as it is in the box!!!
my nomination for scummiest, dirtiest uniforms would be the A & W in Bayers Lake….you don’t need to order off the menu just look at what’s smeared on the shirts
OMG Basil Fawlty…lol, I thought the same thing when I first read this post, but I wasn’t going to name names…but sooo true. So true.
You should know that people who work in fast food places don’t see it as a career and really don’t give a damn. We used to throw the cheese slices at walls to see which would stick the longest, throw the slugs from the lettuce in the fryers, and play “will it burn” with everything going into the broiler. Tip: pouring a bacon-fat soaked hamburger bun burns like a real bitch! I would never eat fast food…i know better.
^ *clap…..clap* good for you, ex-Pat….
