You know that restaraunt staff don't have the be the bastard love child of Gary Glitter and Fred West to do stuff to peoples food, right? A lot of places consider it a perk of the job. That's why it's hugely important to always be really nice to staff until after they bring you your order.

Well, unless you just look like a twat or you're sleeping with all the kitchen staff's sisters you're not likely to do anything to piss them off at that distance. You have to run the risk of them not liking all their customers.

That was me in when I worked fast food!
The most I ever did though was include the condements they asked to take off...
although when I was night manager at Whataburger I would answer the headset after taking hits from the helium tank "Thank you for choosing Whataburger, Would you like to try another resturant tonight?"
I almost wish those days hadn't ended... lol
All that was needed was a catalyst and the machines of war are set in motion.

Yep. It's either that or never eat at a venue where you can't see the food being prepared at every step of the way.
Even at Subway you've no guarantee that's actually just mayo.
I like KFC. There are two within about equal distance of me. One serves the most lovely food evar. The other is one of the most horrid places I've ever eaten. The joy of franchising.
Yeah, a good KFC is nice. And I've no intention of going vegetarian, so basically as others said I'll probably at times eat eat food that's had some degree of cruelty in its provision.

Not necessarily...Popeye's and Church's have been praised for being much more "humane" (if you can call it that) than KFC. It's still murdering animals wholesale for human consumption, but at least they're not extending the animals' suffering or cooking them alive. All fast food joints are not created equal - anyone who eats McDonald's knows that.

I like that quote!
As for KFC. Not a fan. I much prefer Burger King, and I only eat that when my mates are visiting and I'm too busy to cook and in too much of a rush to get a pub meal.

My Grandma never used an axe, Ackula. Too messy. It was the poker and one clean whallop.
I still believe that the chickens deserve everything they get. I was beaked by a sodding mini feathered dinosaur, so I have my reasons for grim retaliation against the entire flock of them, folks.
Don't eat much KFC, in any case. I prefer Mc's fish burgers, but I understand PETA now want me to love the sea kittens...
The only thing that I eat at KFC are the sandwhiches. I don't really like fried items. While I haven't been raised at or near a farm, I understand that these animals aren't pets. While I would want the things to be put down humanely, I know that some places and or people will kill the animals how ever they please. That still wouldn't really change my mind on eating meat though.

UK, right? I knew it. I told Halfshell it wasn't worth driving that far for one specific McDonald's, but it all makes sense now.
Personally, I like KFC. Never had a problem with it, and since my family didn't eat there that often (we always had home cooked meals) it was a nice divergence from the norm, and almost like a treat. That said, regardless of how the meat is gathered (slaughter and what not) I'll still eat at places like that. Being a deer hunter as I am, the killing of an animal for food doesn't bother me. As soon as you've field-dressed a deer in the woods to put food on the table, it all comes into perspective. Furthermore, quality or not, fast food is very handy when you're on the run and don't have time to get something better.

Have you ever broken a deer's legs, then cooked it while it was still alive? Methinks you might need to read the website in question more closely before talking about things coming into "perspective."
I honestly have to ask: Why isn't a legit animal rights organization (like the ASPCA. I wouldn't believe anything PETA said. Even if they quoted me word-for-word. They have no real credability with their reactionary tactics imo) on their backs if this is true?

YES!!! - that's for you Ackula...
True answer, no. And by "perspective" I didn't mean something brutal. It was more along the lines of having killed an animal for food, it's not as repulsive. A vast majority of people just by food without ever seeing it being killed. And anyways, they're bred for food, and they serve their purpose. If you want to give them all lethal injections to do it the "humane" way, be my guest. Then you can eat your $100 chicken to pay for the injection. But then that brings in toxicity issues in the meat...

I pretty much agree with this. They're a bunch of idiots. Of course, it could be true, I just don't trust that bunch.

You're missing the point...no one's brought up injections...the bottom line is that I don't even have a problem with the animals being raised, then killed for food...just don't break their wings and legs or toss them into the oil BEFORE slitting their throats. I'm not asking a lot, but you're missing the point. I've killed an animal for food as well, but that does not build credibility or "perspective."
