Former McDonald\u2019s chef Mike Haracz (chefmikeharacz) often goes viral on TikTok, sharing stories about how they put menus together, how you can get secret items, fast-food hacks, and more. In a recent clip posted on October 21, he revealed a surprising tidbit while answering a question from a commenter. Haracz starts the video by reading, \u201cRandom question: If I wanted McDonald\u2019s to cut a burger in half for me, do they even have access to a knife to do that?\u201d \u201cThe answer is no,\u201d he replied before explaining why they don\u2019t use knives. \u201cThey do not have a knife because there is nothing in the McDonald\u2019s restaurant that crew need to chop or cut for any reason,\u201d Haracz shared. \u201cCheese comes in cut, tomatoes come in pre-sliced, lettuce comes shredded. I think there\u2019s lemon wedges, if there\u2019s like for tea for lemon, but that has a lemon wedger or a citrus wedger\u2026 contraption,\u201d he said. \u201cOnions are already cut, dehydrated onions are dehydrated and mashed up, so there is nothing anything they would need a knife for.\u201d However, he mentions that in cases where \u201cpouches and similar items\u201d need opening, employees usually have access to McDonald \u2019s-approved tools. \u201cBut no, no knives,\u201d he emphasizes. TikTok users in the comments were baffled to hear this information, with some wondering what tools they\u2019d use for a person who wants their burger cut in half. \u201cMaybe a utility knife? Box opener for opening the pre-sliced ingredients in boxes?\u201d one viewer wrote. \u201cA kitchen with no knives is wild!! Surely they\u2019d use a plastic or wooden knife?\u201d another said. One user who claimed to have received their burger cut in half recounted how McDonald\u2019s workers had to improvise with their tools. \u201cThey actually used a spatula. They did it for me,\u201d they revealed. For more entertainment news and other viral stories, be sure to check out our coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
