Via Reddit, fast-food employees say what you should never order there. Excerpt:

“I worked at taco bell a little bit ago and I warn everyone to stay away from both the beans, and the steak. The beans start out looking like cat food, and the directions are, ‘Add water and stir until you can’t see white anymore.’ The steak was just the worst on dish duty. If it would sit too long it would become like hair gel. It was the worst.”

If you eat at Taco Bell, you deserve what you get. That’s what I think. I used to eat there all the time in college. Nothing quite hit the spot after the bars closed on Friday and Saturday nights like a bean burrito with green sauce purchased at the drive-thru on the way back to the dorm. Years later, I went back to Taco Bell to order one for old time’s sake. It tasted like bean-scented sodium paste in a tortilla wrapper.

On a roadtrip a few years back, I pulled into town late one night and found the Taco Bell was the only fast-food joint open. I was hungry, but couldn’t finish what I ordered. It was so unbelievably salty.

Any fast-food workers in the readership have any insider tips to offer us on what to avoid in your shop?

Please do not say anything bad about Sonic. I love their hamburgers, even though they make me feel like crap about 20 minutes after eating them.
