Do you really, really want to know what sausages are made of? Why not check out this thread?

But why just link to it? Let's add our own! Have any dirty workplace secrets to share? Another reason why I shouldn't go to restaurants? Will Luke tell us why all movies suck?

I have one to add. My aunt used to work at a restaurant and keeping meat underwater to keep it from turning too blue from rot was basically her everday job. Nobody noticed and people thought she was awesome, yuck!

Tell us your own!

EDIT: Removed lazy writing and put decent one.

I used to work at Wendy's.

When the chilli got low, the manager simply poured hot water into the vat. Now we have more chilli!

When I worked in a grocery store bakery, we baked all of our own pies, and breads ourselves. However, with cakes - the yellow, and chocolate came frozen, and were cut to size - and the 'red velvet' was made with whichever box mix was on sale that week.

Don't they also use the 'meat scraps' from the grill as the meat in the chili?

Yuck. I've never cared for Wendy's all that much anyhow.

Well I manage a cleaning company so I refuse to piss in urinals because I realized that it will splash everywhere, even back on you. Don't believe me? Go turn on the faucet in your kitchen sink so the water goes straight in the drain. Now rub your hands around the sink. Water at any pressure will splash.

We also charge more to clean then it would cost to replace tile floors.

Haha yes! I can't believe I forgot about that.

Burgers that are too well-done (or old) are chopped up and become chilli meat.

I always hear that one from people as if it's a big deal. People do the same shit for weeks with the thanksgiving turkey leftovers.

Back when I did residential house painting for a small local paint company, my whole crew used to constantly cut corners. We'd get paid to put on 2 coats of paint but a lot of times would just try to make it cover in one coat. We'd also get paid to stain and seal wood cabinets... but a lot of times we just poured a little stain in the sealer and sprayed that shit carefully on the wood so it didn't run. So basically, you'd notice the color difference but for anyone with a trained eye... you'd see no stain streaks alongside the woodwork and the end result looks NOWHERE AS RICH IN COLOR AND NICE AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD WE ACTUALLY DONE OUR JOB AND STAINED IT BY HAND. And usually we did it this way just so that we could work for 3 hours and get paid for 8! The whole crew did this. Ripped the company off so bad. We'd also sometimes take hour long lunch breaks when we're only supposed to get a half hour, and take about 3 or 4 cigarette/coffee breaks when we're only supposed to get 1 a couple hours into our shift

Seriously. I have zero issue with Wendy's using burger scraps in their chili. Heck, my favorite way to make chili at home is to use leftover meat from a steak dinner the previous day, rather than get out raw meat.

I have a story or two of my own that I'll post later when I'm not about to head out of the house.

Will Luke tell us why all movies suck?

Watched MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS (again) and THE RAID: REDEMPTION (again), I can assure you not every movie sucks.

In high school I worked at a BBQ joint with a handful of close friends. Shenanigans were run a muck and countless pranks were pulled. There was however one incident that went wayyyyyy overboard.

Rib pans and bean pots used to take an acid bath before washing as the food stuck to them like herpes to a pornstar. Food codes were changed, and the acid bath was no longer an option, so a lot of heavy soaking and scrubbing that would wear out your arms took place. One night I was working with two of my close friends, who are still close friends to this day. We'll call them Rodd and Tod for ambiguities sake. Rodd was on dish duty, Tod was manning the fryers.

During a rush (or "hurry" as it was called) Rodd was falling behind and just got a bean pot and rib pan, absolutely filthy. Rodd had an offer for Tod, "If you clean this pot and pan I'll cover your station and give you $20". Tod gladly accepted.

About a half hour passes, the pot and pan are cleaned, and Rodd simply tells Tod "sucker". About another half later Tod takes a smoke break, and then Rodd takes his. When Rodd comes back to the dish station he finds a bean pot in his sink, with Tod's shit in it, and a rib pan with Tod's piss in it.

I never ate anything there again.

I can't really think of much to add aside from the times I've had to literally wipe shit off of the bathroom walls. That's hardly any kind of secret though.
