Vault: Shocking Food Tampering Stories from Restaurant Workers

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a long time reporter

and an on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how

artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology,

I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it,

asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and

plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with

your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your

podcasts. Hey, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the newsroom. If you enjoy

journalism that drifts into mild panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown,

Lunatic in the newsroom is for you. It's news like you've never heard before, the only newsroom

with a panic button. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show spirals completely

out of control. It's not just news. It's emotionally unstable. Lunatic in the newsroom. Listen

today. The virtue. Here's the deal. It's North Carolina. And I want to make this statement about

local dominoes also do not punish the local dominoes here because I can tell you right now.

If I'm over on Sunday and I'm going to dominoes.com and I don't care any dominoes any dominoes now.

I have done the thing on dominoes, you know, where you watch them make your pizza. And I never

saw it come up where it says he's use is farting on your pizza right now. Insert booger here. Yeah,

which is what's been going on. That never came up on that. So is that what can I even make

and really is right. I hope not. Well, and I'm wondering if this is an isolated incident.

It totally is. Or not just dominoes, but if there are those that work in the fast food community

that would confess to us that this might happen to you guys a little bit more than you think. Look,

it's not going to kill you, but there's some stuff on your tacos, your burgers, or your pizza

that if I as a worker not happy that day or someone in the drive-through,

ticks me off. I take it out on the next dude's order. I pluck and drop. You just need to do

exact that kick and drop. I've ever lived near or on a college campus. If you eat, take away food,

you have eaten someone else's pubis. Oh, dude. Oh, come on. I see it now. That's correct. Nobody in

this room has more fast food experience than I do. I worked at Taco Bell proudly for four

years and I wear it like a badge of honor. And I never I'd seriously never saw that in the four

years, not from anybody. I never worked. Are there surveillance cameras everywhere and all that

kind of stuff? But these are now. But these are trying to do something like that. We're doing it

and they were video. It wasn't a surveillance camera. It's a woman holding like a camcorder.

The video is up on our website right now. Yeah. And she puts it up on YouTube. These two clowns

put it on YouTube. It's their last day at Domino's. They're in North Carolina. There's a series of

four videos. Some of them are kind of graphic. Like one dude pulls his pants down and puts like a

dish towel up his butt. Wipes his butt with it and then starts washing some of the dishes at this

particular Domino's in North Carolina. It didn't happen here. It's gnarly. Oh, so one woman,

she looks like she's about 20 years old. She's holding the camera. And her male co-worker is,

she's just describing what's going on in these videos. Do you all see that? He just put a burger on

the suit. Do you remember the time when you sneezed?

Do it again, do it again. And I'll just say what she goes. Ew. Now Michael, I think that these

sandwiches are going to be full of protein. What's your mayo? We all have our secret ingredients.

I hate to start it on the salami that goes on these sandwiches. And in about five minutes,

we'll be sitting on our own delivery where somebody will be eating these. Yes, eating them. And

little did they know that cheese was in his nose. And that there was little gas that ended up on

their salami. Now that's how he roll it, Domino's. Yeah, let me explain that for a second. He

starts putting like small pieces of cheese up his nose. And then putting them back on the pizza

or back on the sandwiches also. Hey, Steven, good morning. You're on Q&A.

What do you think? When I was in school, I worked at a restaurant. It was Chick-fil-A. My friend

actually got fired because he stirred the soup with his tallywacker. No way. How did they catch the

guy? Well, that's the problem. He sent it out and the person actually ate it. And we were being

immature. I mean, we were watching it. I mean, it was gross. But anyway, he got called into the

manager's office the next day. And that just so happened to be one of the days that they were

reviewing tapes and they saw it. But isn't that something to brag about? I can stir the soup

with my penis. Yeah, it was nasty. If you mess with Chick-fil-A, not only do you get fired,

but you go to hell. Right. They're closed on Sundays. I mean, they're a God-fearing company.

He's going to burn for the rest of his day. I mean, as soon as he sat down in front of

management and they turned the TV on, he must have known even before they showed him what they saw

exactly what was going on. Can you imagine being the security guy who has to review tapes and

it's normally so boring. He's like, boy, boy, boy, boy, what? What is that? He rewind.

And then he calls his friends. Come over here. I got to shut it. Yeah. Yeah. There are no

shortage of these calls. Oh, I never. And if you're going to fast food, these are going to

these are going to freak you out, y'all. Some fast food is so good that I will risk it.

Not after this call. Hey, Jake, good morning. You're on Q100.

I worked at Waffle House and I used to have an open spot that leaked a lot of pus and I rubbed

it all over somebody's waffle because they were being jerked and they said they're naked.

You guys got to remember something. My wife will do this from time to time.

Oh, my God. Rubber's sore on a waffle. No. She will complain before we get our food.

That's the reason right there. You wait until you are signing the check

until you say anything. If what you're saying is going to be interpreted in any way,

shape or form is rude. You shut up. I used to have a friend who would complain at every meal.

He found something wrong with the service, the silverware, the tablecloth.

He would complain to the server. I would say 90% of the time that I ever went out to tell

him why would you go out with him? That's what we thought. Every time there had to be something

in his food. That's a deal breaker. Yeah. He ate a lot of pubis. Adrian, good morning.

You're on Q100. I worked for popular pizza chain and probably the worst thing we ever did.

Other than body fluid or hair going on the pizza was that all the meat is pre-cooked.

So you can pop a handful in your mouth, chew it up. They're right back out on the pizza.

Shut up.

Or I am full of cheese. So my advice to everybody is, and it always has been when you call to order

food or when you go to a restaurant, be nice. Be very nice and they won't even think twice

about messing with your food. Be rude at the end or if you're never going back ever again.

Yeah. Hello.

Hey, how are you?

Hi.

Well, I have one where a guy I had worked with at a hotel in Tampa is actually doing time in

Florida prison because he had peed in the coffee.

Security tape caught it. I had warned the general manager that he was doing this and they thought

I was crazy when I told him. They installed a security camera in the breakfast pantry area,

called him right handed. Hillsborough County arrested him. It is a second degree felony.

It is basically you could have killed somebody by putting fluid of your own body inside the coffee.

I had to testify in court in Tampa and he got, I could you know, 20 years in

Florida for doing this because it is a second degree felony. It's almost the same as attempted murder

in the eyes of the DA down there.

And now this is in jail for 20 years.

Yeah. Oh, God.

Hey, Cory, good morning. You're on cue 100.

I used to work at a waffle house.

And one of my cooks got so mad because I kept coming back trying to fix an order.

And he had previously burned his hand about two nights ago.

And so he had blisters all over his hand.

Oh, no, no. It was so gross.

And he was supposed to be wearing a glove, but he got really mad at the customer.

He kept going to my customer and asking, you know, what's wrong with it?

What's wrong with it?

And it became a big thing. So he finally ended up cooking his meal, right?

But he definitely took off his glove and just put his fluids all in his food and then watch him eat it.

And I wanted to say something so bad because it was my customer,

but at the same time, it's your tip at the end of the day.

Damn. So blister fluid is so gross.

This is gross.

So this is the end of the domino stuff here.

And again, there are four different videos.

And I mean, it's buggers. It's like I said,

it's the guy's wiping his butt and washing the dishes.

And here she is. She's holding the video camera.

Get the burger sticks out.

Sprinkle them with a sprinkle sauce.

I don't even know if they're snot on it.

Our adventure is unaware of what we are doing at the moment.

We're just packing the bag,

reading a newspaper, like always.

While we're up here, I'm in a rail, putting salt and people's food.

Now it's ready to be shipped to some unlucky customer.

I think the safest bet is for you just to relay that.

We could have done this for in the next half an hour.

The shocking, the last shocking call would have been a guy's full releasing on a pizza.

What?

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm not even going to take it.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You know what, if Anna Murphy came in right now, I would feel clean.

Right?

Like I want a road.

I'll take a road over that.

I want a road pooping on my grew time.

Right?

No kidding.

Seriously, mold in the ice chest?

Definitely.

Bring it on.

I'll take that.

I will climb in there and drink my soda from the bottom of the ice machine.

The birch show.

Oh.
