They never let you get your own refills, and they always toss the damn cup, then fill the new one to the brim with ice. Last time I was there, I went through like 8 damn small cups.

 

You know someone came out with a study that said fast food restaurant ice is plagued with more bacteria than fast food restaurant toilet water?? Just ask for no ice because of health reasons, I'm sure they'd understand (Finger in Chili!!!).

 

My sister was telling me about that the other night. It has ecoli.

 

And cauliform bacteria, the kind that kills ya!

 

I dont like it either, but i guess its their thing you know.

 

The Wendy's in the RC is so freaking slow too. But I like their food so I still go there...

 

Man, I just got back from nyc, it you ask for a refill there they look at you like you're crazy.

 

I'd still eat there

 

just pay three cents more and get the larger size drink.

 

HAHA I know when I worked at Taco Bell, the Ice basically sits there ALLL day long.. I'm not sure how ice can carry bacteria though?! It's to cold for bacteria to grow When I worked at taco bell we had to put the thermometer into the ice under the drinks and make sure it was colder then xxx degree's because if it was in the "bacteria zone" we had to clear it all out and get a new thing of ice, they where really strict about that kinda ****... They checked every hour

 

using the same cup in the ice and soda machines is the #1 cause of cross contamination. we always use a fresh presentation at my work because of that.

 

Everything is good in moderation...

 

Don’t ever eat at the Subways in Folsom.

When we were living in Folsom we made pretty good friends with the fish boy at Petsmart. One night we were in there and we wanted to talk to him about something but he was helping these two Indian guys. They were talking about algae and how to remove it from tubing. I just figured he was talking about his fish tank.

When the guys left, the fish boy came up to us and said “never eat at subway again” those guys were the owners of the subways in Folsom and they were having massive growth of algae in the ice maker water lines. They didn’t want to pay to replace the lines and machine so they wanted a algae killer from the fish store to do it.

 

I havent eaten at a Wendys in like 5 years...

 

Had that problem doing field work at a dry camp in the desert. But we didn't know about it until the end of our field studies (2 1/2 months later). Me and a friend went up to empty the tanks (on a gravity feed system to the lower camping area) and the tanks were basically coated with an algae mat with large dark bacteria/algal growths in spots, some people soon became deathly ill later that week, hmmm wonder why??? All you have to do is introduce some bleach, just a cap full, wouldn't hurt you at all, and nobody gets sick.
