Did any of you work at a fast food place? Do you not think the staff knows? You're asking for a gob of spit with your unsalted fries. Some may have been applied by me 25 years ago.
I saw way more food and drinks get ********ed with in fine dining than I did in cheap places, though I never really worked fast food.
That's my experience, too. The customers can actually see you at many fast food places. Not so when there's a door between the kitchen and the dining room. And fast food places are pretty standardized and regulated to direct the chaos, whereas most actual restaurants have a lot of people trained to do their own thing without paying attention to what others are doing. Much easier to lugey someone's meal under those circumstances. Now, other fast food places might be different, but my two are McDonalds and Steak and Shake.
I tried to ignore this, but I could not. I'm sorry. I get salt-free fries for my mother, who does not need salt, every time I get her a burger. What the ******** kind of sadistic SOBs are these, to do that? They spit in people's food because they 1) are told to make too many fries for the customers to get them fresh 2) can't handle a simple request from a customer to drop some fries into the oil I've never worked in fast food. How much do we need to pay these freaks so they won't spit in my mother's food because they're too god-damned lazy/angry/proud to be the best fast food employee they can be, happily, until they find out what they're decent at that pays more?
That's the point I was trying to make: they're extremely unlikely to do so, ideally because they're decent human beings, but more likely, because it would be nearly impossible to do and get away with
I'm sorry. We should always remember our pettiest actions can hurt. Being paid more than $5/hr would help. I even chose to work at Target's "food avenue" because it was a quarter extra for an hour of hell. Parents walk in, kid smells popcorn, it's over. Brother, we all need to be better.
I know someone who used to work in Starbucks. If someone got pissy about...well, whatever...they'd "decaf" them. There was an innocent sounding code phrase they'd use to let a colleague know when they wanted it done, along the lines of "can you make this for me?".

When I was on a job with my partner in Jessup Georgia we occasionally ate in a bldg with long tables. The food was decent and we even got to use metal utensils. The place was run by inmates at the nearby medium security prison. You hardly noticed the guards.
Daughter off duty tonite so making my B'day dinner. Double stack blueberry pancakes, wine bkfst sausages and maple syrup. Life is good!
Lived here for decades and never even heard of egg cream. I skipped to the bottom of the article to look at the methodology, which lists just 3 criteria: local pride, tradition, or availability. haha... egg cream, which many have not heard of much less could find in NY ==> most available snack food. Obviously the most iconic snack food of NY based on those 3 criteria is (thin-crust) pizza. I guess stating the obvious doesn't make for interesting journalism. So better to lie than admit there is no story
That's funny because as a Californian I have definitely heard of egg creams and recognize them as something from New York (without knowing exactly what it is). When I read that section of the article I felt "duh, that's pretty obvious". I've actually eaten the California one decades ago in my college days. I don't know why they picked something from such a small community and not something from SF or LA.
I've had Ohio Valley style pizza once, and it was really tasty. The proportion of cheese was not so overwhelming as in some of those pictures, and it was small crumbled pieces not big-ass shredded pieces. The sauce is sweet and paired with pepperoni and sausage, it complimented the cold cheese well. If I ever find a place that makes it like that, I'd gladly eat it again.
It's like you gave a 6 year old the ingredients and said "now make me a pizza. Anyway you like" If a Greek didn't invent this I'd be surprised Edit - it was an ITie! MARONE A MIA! Ohio Valley–style pizza was invented in Steubenville, Ohio, by Primo DiCarlo when he returned to the United States after serving in World War II.DiCarlo had eaten pizza in Italy during the war, and attempted to recreate it in the United States.
