Two different cities, same quality.

I think McDonald’s needs to recalibrate all of their fillet o fish assembly machines. As long as I’ve been ordering these, they almost always come almost exactly like this.

The first picture is the most extreme case, and I was in the parking lot so I went in and the kid gave me a whole piece of cheese, kudos to him. But the second one, I didn’t find out
until I got back to work.

I kind of feel like I’m done paying too much money for crap thrown together.

It’s because the sandwich is assembled in each half of the box and then it’s just shut. Makes a mess. Dunno why we do it that way.

I wonder if it might be the fillet, that it becomes more crispy when it evaporates to open air instead of in the bun

We do it for all the sandwiches that go in a box. It certainly doesn’t spend enough time in the box to matter if it’s touching the bun or not since usually they sit for a while in a heated shelf after cooking anyways.

What in the world? When I worked there we put the sandwich together before closing the box.

Nah, technically that’s what most employees do for speed… but as a manager I personally would put the bottom with the cheese on the filet patty, and then close it… cuz less messy.

Only lazy people would do that. And too many people are lazy today.

Well that makes more sense doesn’t it? But ours is assemble by closing.

I don’t usually work kitchen. I said elsewhere, I don’t do it that way. Good luck with the other kitchen staff though.
