Re: Never Insult a Fast Food Restaurant Employee
This is the stomach-churning moment a fast-food worker is caught spitting into a burger at a McDonald's knock-off chain in russia. Footage secretly filmed at a Tasty Dot drive-thru in Rostov shows the disgruntled employee preparing two quarter-pounders before the disgusting move. He is seen glancing around to check the coast is clear before leaning in, hawking spit onto one of the patties and spreading it over the meat. The worker - named only as Nikita - then tops the burger with a slice of cheese to hide his saliva surprise, before boxing up the food and passing it through the window. The vile hack came after the customer who ordered the burgers had a heated exchange with Nikita while placing his order on Monday. Suspicious of the worker's behaviour, the diner decided to film his order being prepared, and ended up exposing the grim act in full. Nikita was immediately fired by the Tasty Dot branch. The copycat chain took over all of Russia's McDonald's branches after the global fast-food giant pulled out of the country in response to the war in Ukraine. The incident has sparked fury across Russian social media, with users slamming the former employee and raising concerns about hygiene standards at the new chain. Speaking out after the footage went viral, Nikita attempted to defend his actions. He claimed: "Some of them shouted, insulted me and ordered me to hurry up. Then they promised to get out of the car and hit me." Tasty Dot confirmed his sacking, saying: "His actions did not live up to our values." McDonald's officially quit the country in 2022, permanently shutting its 847 stores after Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine. The move ended a 30-year era that began in 1990, when the first McDonald’s opened in Moscow’s Pushkin Square and 30,000 curious customers queued up to try a Big Mac. At the time, it was seen as a symbol of the West arriving in the crumbling Soviet Union. But after the invasion, McDonald's said the "unpredictable operating environment" and "humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine" left them no choice but to pull out. |

Re: Never Insult a Fast Food Restaurant Employee
Dammit, now I'm hungry. I recall LONG ago there was a notion that if a country could get McDonald's to come in, they'd 'made it' somehow. I used to ascribe this to the follow-on that McD suddenly found it profitable enough largely once local infrastructure could supply some critical percentage of ingredients rather than having to ship it ALL in. But this was, I suspect, before McD's really got into localizing their menus to include a bunch of offerings you won't find at US McD's. |

Re: Never Insult a Fast Food Restaurant Employee
It may be true. I am always interested when I hear the stuff you can get at McDonalds in Europe and other places, but it's NOT available in the U.S. We should have that HERE!!! I want to go to Europe just to try the McDonalds and Burger Kings! |
