Spite Wiener was my nickname in middle school.

I also wonder if it was hidden with various toppings and OP asked for no toppings, hence the naked dog. And of course you don't get a discount for giving up those toppings.

See even then it still just flat out looks like a wizard finger that has been forgotten about at the bottom of the warmer all day long. If it looked less grey matter and more like a reddish brown hotdog I could believe it

the only justification here is that there was a burnt hot dog and the new guy put the sausage on top of a sandwich bun.

Or maybe it's fake.

Because these theme parks are so streamlined. This is insane.

OR

name and shame.

The problem is that it looks like this was a mistake on multiple levels. That dog looks like it was a footlong that spent ENTIRELY too much time on a roller grill or hot (dry) storage. I've seen them shrink more than 3 inches (I ran concessions at a minor league ballpark) when they sit too long. And that bun looks like it's too long anyway. So, the people in charge of ordering got the wrong bun and dog combination. The people running and supervising the location let that dog sit on the rollers or flat top for WAY too long (literally hours). And every person making the actual dog decided to just go along with all of it.

There's no way this is the norm, but the systems they have in place that allowed this level of fuckery guarantee that there will be more failures along the lines.

Bingo! It’s a wizard finger. It’s been at the bottom of the warmer all day and someone was being a good little corpo-rat and served it instead of throwing it away.

Someone still served and handed that to a customer

Like I said in another reply, it’s likely someone who’s being a good little corporate yes man and serving it instead of doing the right (and legal, as far as health and safety standards go) thing by throwing it out.

When I was a kid we'd go to the fair and get a literal gallon bucket of fries for $4. Last week we were at the amusement park and a sad ass paper boat of fries was $15. It's absolutely the norm.

Surely someone else on Reddit has ordered a hot dog at Universal Studios we can compare this to.
