Any McDonald's drivers out there I have a question.

I used to deliver from a single distributor in Aberdeen Maryland called Darden, owned by them decades ago. The trailer will contain orders from 4 specific Red Lobster Restruants, all of which gross more than one million dollars per year in food purchasing/sales alone. EACH. So when restruant one takes in 12,000 pounds of meat and seafood and tries to feed say Darien Connectiuct over two days period before the next trailer arrives in a town of 100,000 or more people, that 12,000 pounds of seafood and meat are gone pretty quickly. Poof.

I used to deliver solid truckloads of processed meat from kill plants in the American west to McDonalds in Oklahoma city, for further processing into the little burgers you see when you buy a big mac or whatever. 48,000 pounds come off the trailer and gets processed into little 1/4 pound to 1/3 pound pre-cooked weight which shrinks further when cooked in a few minutes at McDees across the east It's easily a lot of burgers, and again just one trailer of a few dozen to a hundred that docked into the Oklahoma city factory that day.

As a outside vendor driver I have never been allowed inside the walls of the facility I am delivering to so I cannot tell you anything about McDonalds.

I worked for McDonalds for a few weeks and we get one truck per week. Usually a few dozen cases of meat burgers for me to cook most nights of the week. We would feed several hundred of those things cooked 6 patties at a time in a few hours time each evening. It don't need too many cases off that truck to keep the whole franchise going as long the people flock in to spend the dollar and buy it. The burgers I mean.

Ive done all sides of McDonalds during my life time and because they use artificial products in the food during processing I refuse to eat mcdonalds and have refused for years. Who then gets my food money? It's literally either Petro in Little Rock now and then or the new Hardees which quit using artificial processing of their food this year and am getting ready to bring back the awesome roast beef products that Corperate is getting ready to roll out. You heard it here first.

There was a time back in the 60's where McDonalds cooked food to order on the grill and you waited a while. Times were slower back then and less demanding as they are now. They would pour milk in there, add this and that and presto shake time. Now it's processed into a plastic bladder stuffed into a carbodard case tossed off the truck once a week and you wonder why you don't feel that great drinking that soy ####.

Ha. Save yourself some health, cook at home or go somewhere where it's cooked fresh to order.

Oh yeah I don't eat McDonald's on a regular basis I go months at a time without eating them, I've never eaten at Taco Bell, never go to KFC or Pizza Hut and haven't been to Burger King since 2009.

I agree yeah, I just wondered though about the store delivery trucking usually it's an outside company like Martin Brower or Golden State Foods or a few smaller ones you know companies that have lots of money because you have to have lots of money to do business with McDonald's and you know they have the supply contract and supply McDonald's with what they need.

Pizza Hut is made fresh. Just stick with the cheese sticks and pies. I have not eaten KFC since the days of Ginos. A cookie for those of you old ones to remember what Ginos was. Taco Bell was to phase out artificial fillers and make from truly fresh, however the meat is in question. Ive had better down by the rio grande than chain taco bell here at home. And I have not been into a burger king in over a decade, particular when they imply soldality with certain segments of our Society with which I do not associate with. That leaves Arbys, Hardees and Subway in particular.

I like Arbys.

Honestly, from what I see in Taco Bell, it is probably the least offensive of the fast food joints. I stand there reading the ingredients on the taco meat box, and I bet there's a lot more crap in the deli meats at subway.

I started a thread on that almost a year ago that's the definition of mystery meat.
