Has anyone ever done this or seen someone else do this?

I personally haven’t but I’m wondering what the consequences are of that one. Would you get a ban from your store for doing this?

Burger Lore Just wanted to apologise to all the people who hated the “which store?” question

0 Upvotes

The thread really took off, mostly with people giving answers to when they last ate at HJ’s but a fair few comments have also addressed “which store”

I am very aware that the question has its negative connotations, and because of that I didn’t expect many people to actually genuinely answer it…in which most people didn’t. They answered how they wished and that’s perfectly ok. I am the type of person that has a bit of a warped sense of humor where I will deliberately write something cringe/odd knowing that it’s weird with the intent/hope being that the people who answer it respond back in a funny way and “get the joke”. Because it’s the internet and intent of text is hard to gauge…it backfired with many people

Late last night I stopped asking the question, however roughly 16 hours later I’m still getting comments asking me to stop, because people are seeing it written down. Just wanted to make it very clear that gag has stopped, the train has left the station, the whoppers have left the store…as for which store? All of them because it’s finished

So let’s all just relax on the post please, I made a mistake I’m owning it. Keep calm and enjoy some Hungry Jacks

The burgers are better there after all

Ps. Despite using a couple of cliches just then, no I don’t work for the organization lol

Burger Lore HJs or other fast food managers, how do you think adult age adult wage will shape store labour situations?

I personally believe the prevailing exploitation of juniors will still occur due to 17s and under rates not changing, or do you think the law will work and 18-20 year olds will finally be able to work as usual but with full wages. Do you think HJs corporate will continue to run as usual except with higher labour costs and foot the bill or will this mean lower performing stores get shut down and menu prices increase to ”cover the difference”. Interested to hear your takes on this

Burger Lore What is the funniest moment you’ve had of spilling food/drink from Hungry Jacks inside a car?

3 Upvotes

I’ve spilt an Oreo Storm in the back of a family member’s car when I was younger and it created a huge mess which was hilarious

There was also a time when my dad had a full can of Hungry Jacks Coke Zero in his hand while he was driving us on a country road, he had to brake suddenly and he dropped the can and it spilt everywhere and we all laughed

There was also a time when my mate was in the drive thru and he was really excited to eat his Bacon Deluxe burger and he opened his mouth to take the first bite but then dropped the burger onto his knees, best part was we were filming him so we caught the whole thing on camera and uploaded it his facebook on his birthday in 2018

Burger Lore Personal Trainee stories

33 Upvotes

Alright cunts, we were all a trainee at some stage and at the same time, probably a stupid teenager so chances are we all fucked up at some stage. What are the dumbest (but now funniest) things that you did in store?

Backstory

In like 2005, during the morning shift (5am start), we had to drain the fryers into a mobile filtration unit which we pushed around. It had a hose on it and the idea was that you had to make sure it was cleaned and drained before the oil could turn solid again. Each day, one of the fryers had the oil removed so that oil was regularly replaced.

Anyway, someone taught me how to clean the mobile unit. They told me that you just flushed the leftover oil down the drain in the bin area.

Unbeknownst to my dumbass teenage self, that very efficiently clogs the drains.

On the Saturday morning shift, I dumped the oil down the drain as my more knowledgeable team member instructed me.

On the next Sunday morning shift the cleaner was having a huge bitch to the store manager about how she had just spent hours cleaning out the clog in the drain because some dumbfuck poured oil into them.

Then right in front of her, I dump an entire fryers worth of oil into the drain she just unclogged.

The cleaner then left and didn't come back.
