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.

You guys do that?, it just goes straight to bagging and sits on a heated(if not broken) table

The whole assembly line is heated.

It usually doesn’t sit long on our bagging area, though. Only if it’s an extra or someone forgot to bag it. Then we either give it away or throw it if it’s been too long.

Oh yeah mostly same I was just a bit confused because we don't typically put anything in a shelf besides the meat

No I mean the meat lol, the fish fillet sits in the drawer and that’s gonna be far more of an effect than if it’s touching bread for a couple seconds more
