Frightening Fast Food Horror Stories

We’re all guilty of enjoying some fast food from time-to-time. Midnight McDonalds? Hungover KFC? In-a-rush Subway?  No worries, it’s totally fine, right? Well…not for some people. Let’s take a look at some of the most horrifying tales of the fast food world to have ever haunted the web and next time, you may think twice about ordering that Big Mac/Zinger/Whopper/Footlong…

This McRib measurement could be considered unusual…

When one innocent customer ordered a McRib from the Golden Arches for the first time, he was curious about the size of the meat portion, so decided to ask the employee serving him how big it was. The employee turned around and proceeded to put his penis on the counter, proclaiming the portion was “about this big” before shouting “f**k it, I quit!”. Luckily, this story had a positive ending as the employee was later arrested for indecent exposure and the meal came free of charge.

Dirty Dominos

In 2009, a couple of Dominos employees filmed themselves farting on the sandwiches and shoving cheese up their nose. Dominos later insisted that the video was nothing but a silly prank and the food was never sent out to customers…but still.

“I’ll have the glass burger, no gherkins, please…”

A hungry officer from the NYPD ordered a Big Mac from McDonalds. However, when he bit into the burger, one awful employee had put shards of glass in it. The officer broke some teeth and cut his mouth. The employee was later charged with assault and McDonalds were sued for over eight million dollars. That’s one expensive glass burger.

First-Aid French Fries

Students are often short of money so they might rely on fast food to get them through the bleak financial times. However, one student from the University of Illinois may not do so in future after finding a used plaster inside her box of fries.

Footlong with fingernails

Everyone enjoys a Subway. The sandwiches are highly customisable and delicious. However, one woman didn’t enjoy her sandwich when she bit into something hard, only to discover that it was a fingernail clipping.

Finger lickin’ good??

At an Arby’s restaurant in the USA, a 14-year-old boy ordered a roast beef sandwich after school. When he bit into it, he tasted something rubbery. It turned out to be the severed finger of an employee- around 3cm to be exact- that the employee had chopped off with a meat slicer. Her co-workers claimed not to know of the incident.

Whopper Shocker

Burger King’s most famous burger is the mighty Whopper. However, in 2007, one customer found themselves chewing on what turned out to be an unwrapped condom in his burger. The customer took Burger King to court to sue for digestive issues as well as distress and nightmares, but Burger King launched a counter-claim to say that the condom was placed in the burger outside of the restaurant. The case was eventually settled outside of court.

Blazin’ at Burger King

In 2013, one family was shocked when they found a marijuana pipe filled with weed inside a Burger King kid’s meal box. The police swiftly investigated and a 23-year-old member of staff admitted to attempting to hide his weed from his managers by placing the pipe in the box. Burgers before bongs, y’all.

Bile-inducing breakfast

McDonald’s Breakfast: the saviour of early morning road trips all around the world. However, when one Reddit user felt something at the bottom of his hash brown bag, he found a battered and fried cockroach/moth. The seemingly unconcerned store manager offered him money off his next meal. No word on whether he took them up on that kind offer or not.

And because customers can be just as awful…

Perfect pickles and carefully curated coffee

One McDonald’s employee reported on Reddit that he had a customer throw a burger in his face at 1am because the pickle ‘was not in the centre of the freakin’ bun’. In a similar incident, one customer came into a branch of McDonald’s two to three times a day for an iced coffee- one day, someone got the order wrong and he then proceeded to throw his large coffee at the manager, after requesting to speak to him. People.

The attention seeking mum

A woman at a counter in a fast food restaurant is proceeding to tell the employee how “cute” and “dressed up” her baby was. The employee humoured her and she continued for around a minute before the employee is eventually forced to ask if she wanted to order anything. The response? “No, I just wanted to show you my baby”. Wow, that’s what social media is for, no?

Taking a diet too far

So we’ve all heard the unwritten rule that ordering a Diet Coke with your fast food cancels out all the calories, right? (spoiler alert: it doesn’t really) but one customer took it to another level. They ordered a number five meal, a number two meal, two large fries and a diet water. No, you read that correctly…a diet water. Of course, the employee says he was unable to control his laughter

Supersized…alligator?

A man was arrested in Florida last year after he threw a three and a half foot alligator into the drive-thru window of a Wendy’s. The ‘gator was later released into a canal and the man was accused of assault with a deadly weapon.

The wrong coupon

We all love a bargain, so when we get coupons and vouchers, it’s a very happy occasion. However, it wasn’t for one customer who turned in the coupon at the wrong restaurant. The customer didn’t understand why the coupon was ‘no good’ until the employee told him that the coupon probably was ‘good’, just at the correct restaurant…

So, are you put off from eating at fast food restaurants? We’ll certainly exercise caution after writing this article, but nothing will ever stop us from ordering that guilty drunken McDonalds or hungover KFC

You just have to remember, always be kind and courteous to the people who are making your food, or you might get a nasty surprise.
