Default Fast Food Processing.

I worked at a Burger King for a few months, so I know how things were made.
I ran the flame broiler machine at Burger King!!!

Here's how it worked.

There was a conveyor belt for the buns and another for the burgers. You put
a bun on one belt and a burger on the other. The belts were timed so the
bun and the burger came out and fell into the "collection" bins at the same
time.

I'd grab a bun, put a burger on it and tossed it into a steam oven. --
Repeat forever--.

The customer orders a burger "you can have it your way" and the assembly
line staff would grab one out of the steam oven, dress it up, microwave it
for a few seconds and then wrap it up.

The problem was the burgers couldn't get rotated in the steam oven. Lucky
folks got the LIFO (Last In, First Out) burgers.

The worst were the double burgers. They sat "underground" in the steam oven
forever.

Being the burger "king," I'd run a burger through the flame broiler a
second time to "hopefully" rinse every last drop of grease out of it, for
my meal.

The flame broiler burgers, if you could get a LIFO one, was about the best
fast food processed burger money could buy.

Don't be bashful. Tell YOUR fast food processing story!
