[Lord_nikon]

word on the street, I think at that time those workers was getting paid like $1.87 an hour,,,,,, I'm sure one of you Larry holmes mufukkas can verify

I was 4 years old. Fast food didn't taste like fast food back then.

Everyone taking their time, clean receptive atmosphere, no phones, no cameras recording, no homeless people posted up with an old dirty empty multipurpose water cup/mobile bathroom, no soggy lettuce on the whoppers, no one screaming at each other, you can actually get the burger your way cooked to order without it taking an extra 20 mins and an assigned number, the fries probably don’t smell like they were cooked in a vat of piss

Right. Theyve done anlot of sht to cut cost:
-smaller bread
-smaller patties
-less restrictions on the meat the serve and how they cook it
-sht is basically run like a factory


i remeber back in the day when a burger from burger king was actually a burger …

You ever hit BK for the burgers and McDonalds for the fries back in the day?

Wendy’s for the spicy chicken and frosty McDonald’s for the supersize fries baby

I remember buying a BK Fish in the later 90s, walking hour from the skating rink. That fish patty was as thick and wide as a VHS tape. About the size of a 8 track cassette. No lie. The fries were way better then too.

That was my go-to meal in the 90's, on every Friday lunch break. A Big Fish, Large Fry, and Large Drink had you set until dinner.

i hate getting older but on the other hand i feel so blessed to be around during this era .....i hate to be one of those "back in my day" guys but those late 80's to mid 90s years were just something else man

In.

 

[Laidbackman]

They hadn't invented gloves yet. The Great glove movement of the early 2000s finally ushered it in. Technology bruhs.

With gloves we have clean and dirtier fast-food.

 

[Laidbackman]

i wonder what those people in the video are up too now

If they live in Atlanta, they're probably still there.

Why you stole my avatar though

 

[Cave Savage]

All those workers touching the food with their bare hands.

They still do that in Mexico

[Dynamite James]

The fries was trash back then too

I remember they did a new campaign in the mid 90s about their new “better fries” I do remember Burger King fries not being to good in the early 90s

I doubt it was that low. But I actually worked at Burger King less than a decade later when I was 16 and I made 5.15
