Where there's smoke, there's a flaming hot Cheeto.

He said he didn't realise the workers don't stuff fries into the bag with their bare hands. I wonder if he realised this after having already serving up a few orders without first washing the shit from under his fingernails, being as they are perpetually caked in day-old diarrhoea every time he scratches his Depend-swaddled groin.
Orange Cheeto worked there for less than a day and now...
- That's what happens if you don't change his diaper
  
  Shit spews from his mouth all day though. It's a wonder it isn't a full-blown outbreak by now.
Do you realize just how much shit has to be on your meat grinder to get people sick from a McDonald's hamburger? It's not like you can order those things rare.
- The article says it was slivered onions from a single supplier servicing 3 distribution centers in and around Colorado and Nebraska.
- FWIW it's probably not the burger meat, more likely some uncooked produce item like onions or lettuce. If it was the burger meat, it wouldn't be exclusive to the quarter pounder.
  
  Burger patties for the Quarter pounder are not frozen unlike the patties for the smaller burgers. It could be the meat.
- Not just that: it’s only one specific strain of E.Coli that does it and you also have to undercook the burger. Imagine how much cooked, otherwise safe shit is in the average burger
  
  Note: I’m going to get a burger
We definitely don't need any of those job crushing regulations, amirite?
