I've worked food service for years, including at McDonalds, Straw Hat Pizza and co-owned/operated a lunch cart at a private beach. I've also done commercials for TV and know that that food you see in the photographs? It's stone cold and totally unedible. The reality that you see is heat at work or sheer sloppiness. Someone has to crank out this food in a couple of minutes to make the customers happy where they've taken hours and hours to prepare the commercial photographed ones. Cheese melts when it gets warm, as does lettuce. It also looks like someone got sloppy on portions or was told to only put X amount of such and such on the sandwich or burrito when they use double or triple the amount for commercials. I've seen it at Subway, you only get 2 or 3 pieces of meat or at some places, they'll actually weigh the food before putting it on. Because Subway will fold the meat, rounded side out, it looks like you're getting a lot more meat than you really are.
It's commercialism - give the customer a dream and then make them accept reality. Me, all I care about is that I get what I order and that it tastes good. Looks can be deceiving. [:)]
