You think Pizza Hut is good? All that spongy dough? I worked at Pizza Slut
for a while and I never once saw fresh dough being made. That shit is
McFrozen somewhere and McThawed before it's McCooked. Sure, it's better
that McPizza, but that's like comparing bird shit and rhino shit.

Naah.  Pizza Hut pizza may not be great, but it is _edible_, which is not a
word I would use in characterizing McPizza.  Besides, who eats pizza for its
culinary and gastronomic qualities?  I eat it because it's quick, easy, can
be split with friends, and doesn't make me want to barf.

So tell me something then, O Wise One: Why is it that everywhere else I have
worked making pizzas (a list that does not include, thank God, working for
that ultra-right-wing fanatical Christian maniac from the alternate zones
who lords over Dominos) it takes about 20 minutes for a pizza to be made
(from pulling the fresh dough off the tray to pulling the hot pizza out
of the oven)? What is it -- Dominos got some kind of magic dough and they
only gotta cook a pizza 6 minutes before its done? They juice the ovens
up to a thousand degrees or sumpthin'? Or is Dominos delivering a whole
buncha undercooked pizza (the most likely answer, I suspect)?

If you're no longer affiliated, then why don't you RELAX, for Chrissake?
Everybody who knows anything at all about pizza (and I do not necessarily
include you in this category) knows that Dominos is on or near the bottom
of the food chain and that small-time, local joints serve the best pie
to be found in your area. They can devote time to quality of product,
while massive, evil chains like Dominos worry about shit like getting
a poor product to you in 30 minutes or less.

Dominos is crap. I know it, everybody but you seems to know it, so you
must be seriously delusional. Wake up and smell the pepperoni, pal.

Well, I guess your opinion of what is edible differs from my own. The absolute
worst pizza I've ever had is Domino's, but not because of its flavor. Domino's
makes their pizzas ahead of time (cooked halfway, just plain cheese) and when
you call up and get, say, a pepperoni and sausage pizza, they just throw some
pre-cooked sausage and pepperoni on the half-cooke cheese pizza and throw the
whole thing into the oven for a while. The result: when the pizza arrives at
your door 23 minutes later, you lift a slice to your mouth and all the
toppings roll off into the box.

Pizza Hut sometimes has this problem, but not often. (I've discovered that
the only remedy to this is to either tell them "Put the damn cheese on the
top of the pizza" or to order extra cheese.) My main gripe about Pizza Hut
is that it's a multi-million dollar corporation and they still can't beat
the quality of small-time, local joints (like Dion's or Carraro's, both
here in Albuquerque; try them out sometime if you pass through). So they
might as well be McPizza, for my money.

Which reminds me: did you really expect McPizza to be good?

They do, I had one for lunch.  The crust is thick, but not over chewy. 
The cheese clearly contains a proportion of grated cheddar.  The taste
is very tomato, even though little tomato sauce is visible.  I had the
'bacon double cheeseburger' pizza, which has ground beef and ground
bacon on it.  A little odd.  The overall impression was similar to the
Pizza Hut personal pizza.  A three out of ten for pizza on my scale. 
I'm unlikely to repeat the experience.

It's true that Burger King's burgers taste much better, but we don't have
a Burger King in this town, Uppsala in Sweden. Instead we preferably eat
at the swedish owned Max where the burgers taste as good as Burger Kings,
even though their onion rings are not as good. Why don't McD have onion
rings?
By the way, Burger King isn't called Burger King in Sweden but Big Burger,
and Whopper (?) is called Bigger. Strange, but on the other hand we have
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles so I think we can live with it.

   There was this time at Mcdonald's once where I went into the bathroom and 
after my pee I looked into the sink. To my disgust somebody had chewed up a 
quarter pounder avec fromage and spit it into the sink. They then had taken 
care to fill up the sink. Well the burger had plugged up the drain and what
wasn't stuck to the bottom of the sink was floating on top of the water..mmm!

From that point on I swore I would never be a Mcdonald's/Burger King/etc 
employee...imagine cleaing that shit out? Blech!!!

Hmmm, other immature things done at a fast food joint...

I used to go into Harvey and throw the pickles off my burger onto these large
pictures of some obnoxious kids that are present at every Harvey's restaurant.

Once there was this bum that managed to panhandle enough money to get himself 
a Big Mac combo...anyhow he was eating at a table across from me and I swear
he must have crapped his drawers in a big way because I could smell him from
about seven or eight feet away. I was minding my own business when I here this
noise coming from the bum, it sounded like his stomach was contracting and 
forcing whatever was in it back up his throat. The bum started to wretch
he suddenley let out a ripper belch and then brought up whatever was in his
stomach. I guess when you drink too much Lysol your stomach has a tendency to
reject whatever solids you devour. His puke was nasty smelling stuff, partly
digested Big Mac, part stomach bile. Anyhow it STUNK and it made me feel sick
for the rest of the day. A lot of people left the store (including me). Here's
the icing on the cake though, when the cleaning staff arrived the bum asked for 
a replacement Big Mac!! They told him to ask the manager.

First of all, I would like to mention, as an ex-Dominos employee
that ALL of Dominos' Pizzas are FRESH. We do NOT half-cook cheese
pizzas, throw stuff on them, and finish cooking them!
The ingredients are ALL fresh, NOT FROZEN. They are refrigerated.

When you order a pizza from Dominos this is a breakdown (It is very easy to
get it done and delivered in 30 minutes)

Get the dough from the dough tray: 10 seconds
Spin and flip the dough: 1 minute, less if youre good at at
Cheese the pizza: 10 seconds.. Get 2-handfuls of cheese and run it over the pizza, evenly as possible, not letting much sauce show. Its not too difficult
Toppings: Pepperoni and sausage take maybe 10-20 seconds each, others the same

The pizzas are cooked for approx 6-7 minutes. You then have about 22 minutes
to get the pizza whereever it needs to be. We have a delivery area no larger
or smaller than Pizza Hut's, but we can manage to deliver HOT pizzas that
are not smothered in grease like Pizza Hut.... and in a much shorter time.

Dominos is the best! (Personal Opinion, I am no longer affiliated in any 
way with Dominos. That goes for this whole article.)

        During the summer months in GA and FL there usally is a

it was very hot and while frying some burgers several cockroaches 
crawled up to the vent filter over the grill.  Well it's about 140

burgers.  Of course my mom didn't tell me if they served them or not.

The McDonalds in Seramonte, CA, has a French Fry robot. It's worth
the trip just to see this thing.

It handles the raising and lowering of the French Fries into the oil,
and dumps them into a tray when they're done. An attentant manually
scoops them up and puts them in the cardboard or paper containers.

There's also an automatic drink dispenser that seems to be linked to
the cash registers. The drinks are poured into the proper cups by themselves.
The server has to add the lid.

This has nothing to do with fried-mice, as with most of the other articles

careful aroung some of that equipment, espically since I ane one of those folks

happened to me was getting boiling potassium hydroxide splashed in my face and 
eyes while "boiling out" the fryers.  This was good for a trip to the emergency
room, but I was back at work a few hours later.  I have managed to witness a 
couple of other goodies.  Marinators are a great source of these minor 
tradgedies!  Espically among the newer employees, when picking these up to 
clean them and the 200f+ water sloshes out onto thier chest OUCH!, this is then
usually followed by the dropping of the thing itself getting legs and feet 
splashed!  Bun Toasters: who would stick their hand in one to clean the 400f
