"When I worked at McDonald, the fish fillet has never been ordered. We had to do them at 11 am from the beginning of lunch and had the same as in the plateau until the elderly came To get their dinner at 15 o'clock, then we will replace it and we launched far the same when we closed, "A self-identified McDonald employee wrote. "Do not order them."
Of course, you can avoid this situation by asking for yourFilet-O-Fish cooked to order.
Other McDonald employees also told the company initiates thatThey avoid Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, too much. But only because they do not like the taste.

Device clean, old ketchup."
