I've had a ton of shitty jobs. And during the course of doing all those shitty jobs, I've compiled quite a few stories. The other day I decided to share one of those stories with my co-workers, and when I was finished, they looked at me disgusted for a few moments, and one of them said "That's messed up, dude. The world needs to know that."
When I was 19, a Hooters opened up two blocks from where I lived. My roommate and I needed a job, and also had penises, so we decided to apply as cooks there. It was basically us, and 8 hispanic guys that didn't speak a word of english, or have any clue what Hooters was. I know this because during our orientation, which was the ten of us and 75 girls, one of them leaned over to me and asked, "Why there is much pussy?" When I explained best I could that that was the theme of the restaurant, he turned to the other seven dudes, translated it into Spanish, and then collectively they all went, "Aaaah." Then there was silence for a second and then one of them went "estabien guey!" and they started high-fiving each other.
Anyway, about a few months into it, I realized that it wasn't that awesome of a job. Hooters is a lot like a Michael Bay movie. It's loud, everybody in it is stupid and you spend most of your time hoping you're going to see someone's titties...but you never do.
My job was to work the fryer. Basically I'd go get wings from the walk-in fridge, take them out front, batter them, flour them, then dump them in the fryer.
You may say this job was so easy a retarded person could do it. You have no idea how right you are, because the other "fryer" guy that worked alongside me had been hit by a car a few years before and was dropped off at our work by a special bus each day.
So one day I pull the wings out, and they're green and nasty, and smelled like a homeless dude that had (for some reason) rolled around in paprika. Sort of spicy and sour. So I go to throw them away and all of a sudden I hear, "WHOAAAA Buuuuuddddy. Watcha doin' J?" I turn around and it was my manager, who was actually a really good guy, but a stickler about food costs. So I go, "The wings are rotten," then I make the homeless comparison I just made to you, to him, and he goes, "Let me show you a little something I learned in trenches." He grabs a white bucket, like this one:
And he fills it with water, about half way. Then he dumps the rotten wings into the water. Then he looks at me and he goes, "Here's the magic." He grabs a bottle of bleach from the supply closet, and he pours a cap full of it, and dumps that cap into the water, with the wings. Then he grabs a wooden spoon and he stirs the wings, like a witch stirring a secret spell. Then he looks at me and goes "The bleach kills the smell, and then the fryer kills everything else." Then he went to the front, battered, fried, and served those wings.
sum ting wong, tell her to wash that thang, damn, soap and water baby, and respectfully, Holy Taco, give that man a damn t-shirt, too funny, just say'in
Hooters wings suck and anyway, they're photoshopped.
I dated a few Hooters girls and just like the food, they taste pretty good but you never know where they've been and they sometimes smell a little rotten.
I worked for a supermarket that made doughnuts and those apple fritters everyone just loves are scrap dough from wherever it falls. Then you have the glazer the big bin you glaze all the doughnuts in, they have to pick the dead flies/bugs out of the glazer every day instead of covering the bin or using fresh glaze daily. I rarely eat doughnuts unless I make them myself now.
I gotta say i live in Ontario Canada and all of the Hooters here suck....only good one i ever went to was in Florida. Here in Ontario the best wings are a Place called WingsUp west of Toronto No hot tits or anything but Wings are amazing.......and the manager at the store in Kitchener is really hot
I call bullshit. What a faggot you are for even posting this bullshit lie. Fuck who ever typed it. Piece of shit lying faggot. Nice sterotype of latinos too fuck nut.
I love the brilliant people on here who get offended because they don't know what they're talking about. Well Done. Also, Brilliant use of "faggot", because obviously the LGBT community are sub-human and bigoted slurs for them should be flung as insults.
Sir, I think you should kill yourself- depending on the skill level of your devised demise, maybe you'll win a Darwin award you fucking idiot.
Thank you, its so good to see someone on the internet with over a third grade education. usually its just "thats gay" "Your Moms Gay" "ya well your fucking retarted" "Lick my balls" ect....
Shut up faggot. The word Fag is derived from the latin word Fascio which was a bundle of wood with an axe in it used to beat the fuck out of people who wouldn't move for nobles and his divinity THE EMPEROR.
Later it became a word simply referring to a bundle of sticks and now it's British slang for a cigarette.
It probably started being used as a derogatory term for homosexuals because lets face it, a big gay sausage party is basically a bundle of sticks.
The word fag has much more in common with the word fascist than it does homosexual. So maybe he was calling you a fascist.
Also you misused the dash. You ended a clause you tragically brilliant self righteous dick weed. Use a fucking period. If you wanna be really fancy use a semi-colon because your next clause was related to the previous.
I think you are full of Shit, as you recall Food Lion was caught shit years Back, and You as the Fry Boy, could and should of stoped this. Not everyone would of done this, RED FLAG...... Bull Shit
The Food Lion bleach thing was all a fake. The guy from the news doing the report was paid to put the bleach and dye in the meat room and to make up a story.
I worked at the one in Buffalo. It's all true. They are so up tight about food cost. There management sucks, the food sucks and the wings are so small with that little flapper on it. What the fu#k is that. Sorry I am from Buffalo and our wings are large and seperated. Good going on them for closing down in our area. we didn't need them ruining our wing reputation selling shit wings..
Oh shit, the one on Maple? I've only been in that Hooters and after hearing that I'm glad. I worked with this lebanese lady that would wash everything off and add a little lemon juice and salt to cover the smell. I threw that shit out as soon as she turned around. $20 worth of chicken is not reason enough to risk getting somebody sick.
I had a friend that got food poisioning from the wings at the Hooters that was on Maple.
People don't realize the B-lo takes its wings seriously.
Also, best wings I've had...
Pat's Pizzeria on Niagara St in Buffalo.
They have some awesome honey mustard wings, but you have to get them off the pit.
Buffalo Wild wings, the worst? They are the best, and they do NOT use breading. Hooters are the only buffalo wings with breading I would THINK of eating. Buffalo wild wings is the absolute BEST wing place on this planet and all others.
Hooters is the place for guys who are too dickless to go to an actual stripclub. Everyone's there for the tits. The food is an after thought. What kind of moron eats the food at a strip club? No wonder they bleach it.
It is horrible that something like this would happen, and that the food would be served to people, but you cannot place the blame on the company. The company did not order the manager to use the rotten food, and the company certainly did not force you to comply. If you were actually concerned about health and safety, you would have spoken up or informed the FDA. You cannot tell this story and absolve yourself of responsibility by saying it's 'messed up' after the fact. I don't blame Hooters for this atrocity of food service, I blame you.
Yeah no kidding. Get a life. Plus if you boil the shit out of something you're going to kill most of the bacteria. I've been eating a Hooters for years. Every once in a while I get the shits. That's probably why.
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Bring on the bleach wings bitches!
Seriously though, who cares? If it tastes funny, then i have problem. But, if they're fine when they come to me, i'm fine with eating them. Bleached or not. I think we, as a human race, have become bit of nancies when it comes to eating. It has to be clean, it has to be fresh, it has to...ect. The truth, it has to taste good. That should be all that matters.
It is the company that would have to take care of this. They know there responsibilities, this issue being one of them. Many of you think this may not be a big idea, but things like the Ecoli strain O157:H7 and salmonella has killed many young children and old people because of careless mistakes such as these. Also, yes most of the bacteria will be killed off in such high heat but many times especially with careless cooks and horrible managers like these the food does not get cooked properly and it can seriously cause an outbreak of a new virus, it's obviously happened before and it became an epidemic so if you're still thinking that "it cannot kill you, and will only make you stronger" than that's great for you (so you hope), not so much for others (mainly weaker immune systems). For the guy who blamed the guy who wrote this, I think you are just...stupid. This could potentially help someone in the future and it's giving out information so it absolutely doesn't hurt to have posted this.
lolzzzz..that's funny because i also worked at a hooters as a fry boy a few years back, only for 2 weeks (such a pos job btw). Though i didn't see anything as extreme as this...i can tell u truthfully that the cooks who handle the raw chicken also sometimes toss the chicken in the sauce with the same unwashed hands...happens all the time.
This is a disgusting example of what goes on in chain restaurants like that.
@Brother Z: You're not wrong to blame the manager who bleached the wings, or the author, for allowing this to happen. You are, however, wrong for letting Hooters upper-level management off the hook. I've worked in 3 chain restaurants and 2 independents in the past 10 years, and I've seen a common practice amongst regional management and above. They don't tell the general manager at a store to bend or break the rules, because doing so would make them complicit when it happens. What they do is set the goals unattainably high, for example, making the goal for food waste to cut it every month. Waste happens, there's no way to cut it out completely, so there must be a point where the general manager at a store has cut it as low as it can go while staying within the rules. When upper management demands waste be cut even further than that, the GM has no choice but to break the rules and endanger the customers.
That was the best explanation I've ever heard. I work in food service. I hate upper management douche bags with their awesome special shirt that no one else may wear and how we are somehow on first name basis with someone we never cared to meet.
Good O~ Corp. America! Fuck the people and fuck them hard just to make a buck. Well look around now. The good old united states is a dump! Thank you corporate America. Maybe we should take all the CO's and CEO in put their asses in a bucket with bleach water. ?????
