I was cleaning out the fryers as usual when some idiot decided it was a great idea to goof off behind me. He bumped into me causing me to fall towards the fryer, I managed to put my hand against the wall to keep my face from falling into the well but ended up pouring some of the oil on my arm (which we do to get the gunk to go down the drain).
are you gonna kill him
sorry you had to deal with such pain
fuck that sucks dude, I feel your pain
>>703990710
god damn. sorry to hear that. at least you'll have a cool battle scar to tell a story about
Sue the cunt
>>703990776
do this
>>703990710
Get your payday. Workplace injury, company didn't do enough to promote a safe work environment (guy goofing off) or setting uo proper procedures for emptying oil (unless you weren't following those)
Hospital bills + lost wages + pain and suffering. Lawyer up kiddo
>>703990710
You about to get a fat check dude
>>703990927
What he said. I hate to be a dick about things like this, but you got badly injured on the job because some jerkoff was fucking around. Sue his ass.
>>703990710
Honestly, sue the fuck out if him and the restaurant.
Unsafe work environment. Even if you lose and lose your job, who fucking cares? You probably don't want to be a burger flipper forever anyway, right?
If you win, you can easily make tons of cash,
Hell yeah nigger now you got a cool battle scar you can tattoo over and a good reason to milk your work place and the dude that fucked you over the fryer
>sue company
>get huge settlement
>?????
>Profit (from aforementioned huge settlement)
>>703991043
this
chicks dig scars
>>703991159
Yeah, any chick would be impressed if you tell her that you survived the fryer war of 68'.
>>703991349
It's reasons like this that people think you're autistic
Sue both company and idiot behind you.
Lawyer up ASAP.
More than likely you'll end up with a big check, even after the liar(oops lawyer) has taken his cut. ;)
I've done this before, as bad as yours. If it's fresh put silverzine on it, may need to get a prescription to buy that. After that put solosite in it everyday. You won't get scars.
>>703991448
So you think you're superior because you're stonefaced douche without any humor?
>>703991529
Or dont. And keep the scars because thats extra money for the settlement. Permanent deformation=$$$
>>703991640
You can't check it as permanent damage if they can prove you refused treatment that would have avoided it.
Seriously lawyer up. Youll get workers comp. Lost wages. All your medical bills payed. And a fat check afterwards. It may be different in your state but lawyers take 33% here. 40ish% if it goes to court. But a restaurant will likely settle out of court. If its a fast food chain better start lookin for a new car ;)
>>703990710
I always worry about this shit after hearing that at a restaurant in my area this guy was cleaning the vents above the fryers and was basically standing on the fryers with the vats of oil open and still hot, and he slipped and both his legs ended up in the fryers, and people said the screams could be heard throughout the entire restaurant.
>>703991769
No doctor prescribes shit to treat scars unless specifically asked. I was in an accident not long ago and they didnt prescribe me shit except pain meds and muscle relaxers. I have scars and busted teeth ima get paid out the ass
>>703991986
Maybe it's different here because we have mandatory medicare.
So you would have guaranteed access to proper treatment. And actively choosing not to take it would be on you.
>>703990710
Sue him and retire
>>703991006
You sue the company, not the employee, he was representing the company at the time of the incident and the plaintiff was at work when the accident happened.
A lawyer will take that shit because they will know the company will just cave.
>>703992083
Im talking about the US. Neither the emergency room or the follow up doctor gave me anything for scaring and it was pretty brutal.
>>703992197
Or sue both and get paid even more
>>703990859
this
>>703992231
Pretty though.
Are you guys gonna come to your senses with this whole medicare business at some point?
Judge Judy bro.
>>703990927
This. 100 percent this. Lawfag agrees.
>>703992463
This is alot bigger of a payday than small claims court where the max is 5 or 10grand cant remember which
Damn so many responses, this isn't a recent burn but my worst I already took all necessary legal action and treatment
>>703992813
Good! hope to see you several grand richer!
>>703992813
If you work at any reputable place whatsoever, they have it very clear in an employee handbook that you signed: "You must wait until the fryer temperature reaches 100 degreesF until you start cleaning it." If you're going to take your employer to court, I recommend finding proof your employer is negligent.
>>703992813
Congrats, dood. You're gonna be rich.
>>703993073
they have security cameras and they keep they keep the for 3 months I used it to prove that the individual in question was reckless and should have been fired for putting other workers in danger.
>>703993308
the film
>>703990710
"You know what'll soothe that nasty burn? Put some sweet cream on it." -blades of glory
All these fucking pussies telling him to sue them. Fucking hell, that's barely anything and would have barely hurt! If you all think that's pain then you're all such big pussy bitches. Hate this generation, can't withstand any or even minimal pain, fucking pussies.
>>703993747
Sorry your generation allowed the cost of college grow so much. Anything and everything in the pursuit of money, so we don't have to work in that shit hole for the rest of our lives.
>>703993747
Shove your entire arm into a vat of boiling grease, then say "Yeah, it's nothing."
>>703993747
show us some scars then
>>703994043
Fucking bitch, tell me what it feels like getting shot 5 times within like 30 seconds.
>>703994043
It actually doesn't hurt that much, your running off a lot of Adrenalin right after it happens. After several minutes a low tingle starts to develop until it turns into a near crippling pain. I had to drive myself to the hospital following the incident.
>>703990927
Better call saul
>>703990710
Rx: I would put Aloe Vera on the burn a couple times per day for one month.
>>703994192
kek are you really getting heated up over who got hurt the worst? ego is such a funny thing.
>>703990927
Ignore every other post in this thread OP, do this right now. The sooner you lawyer up the better your outcome.
Raw honey will minimize scaring
>>703993747
It had nothing to do with the pain and everything to do with some dick weed fucking around at a shitty job. Fuck what you say, this world is going to hell and I'll get my cut anyway I can, even if it means fucking over a company over a burn.
>>703994454
It didn't help. I put raw honey in all my meals for two months and nothing happened.
>>703990927
yep. you gotta sue in this day and age. you can bet if you were injured beyond the capacity to do any work, the store wouldn't support you.
besides, where was the manager while this douchebag was fucking around? the guy obviously felt comfortable to fuck around like that to the point it was dangerous. a lot of managers who go away and do their own thing leaving the crew to clean on their own promotes bad behaviour. he should have been their supervising the clean up.
>>703994336
>>703994454
I found this stuff called Bio Oil that has made the scar almost unnoticeable, like only if someone focuses on it will they start to make it out.
>>703994621
This, any half decent cheap ass lawyer could make you some serious money off this shit.
>>703990710
Honestly, I'm generally against suing people, but in your case, I would definitely say lawyer up mate. I've worked in and out of several kitchens, gotten some burns of my own, but nothing that bad. When it happened to me - an idiot decided it would be a good idea to throw a burrito with sour cream and salsa in it into the fryer.... low and behold it blew up and spewed oil everywhere, got a bunch of little spot burns over my arms and face, and a big one on my thigh, but at least the pants absorbed a bit of it. Dude was fired that day and i got a rather nice workmans comp check for it. At the very least, make sure you get that, and some time off, shit looks bad.
>>703990927
Yup do this 100%. Also sue the dude involved. It's no immoral, both parties failed their duty of care and you can easy sue them for negligence. You're lucky you only burnt your arm and it wasn't any worse.
>>703991902
Well that sounds like he was a dumbass
>>703991902
Not necessarily anyone's fault other than his. He shouldn't have been standing on the fryer. Unless the supervisor told him that's how it was to be done, then he could've made a pretty penny.
To all the people saying sue, 100% chance the kid was not wearing his PPE. At chain stores its always a heavy apron and gloves to the shoulders, and goggles.
Also, generally only management deals with fryers, but that verys from chain to chain.
>>703991349
kek
>>703990710
A nice case of MRSA coming your way OP
>>703994838
especially not with the vats on and open, like a the triad of dumb ass things to do. Generally speaking if I think something is to dangerous I refuse to do it and explain to my managers why I believe it to be dangerous (it was just that one manager who was negligent and for some reason they let him be the only person who ran night shift.
>>703990710
Use use silicone patch.
>>703990710
Been there bro. They put you on silvadine?
>>703994902
I was wearing a oven mitt in place of fryer gloves because they didn't have fryer gloves, it only protected my hand. I was wearing the rest of the protective gear.
>>703994902
You're retarded. I worked at taco hell for awhile and it was always the newest kid that got stuck on the fryers. Standard PPE there only consisted of a cloth apron, gloves and non slip shoes. That still leaves your face, forearms and upper arms exposed. PPE or not, if he wasn't wearing it then his supervisor should have corrected it.
>>703990710
You should sue and make a big fuss about it. Free money
>>703991846
Don't settle for shit money and don't hire some lawyer off a busstop bench.
>>703995031
>I was wearing a oven mitt in place of fryer gloves because they didn't have fryer gloves
Who is they? You could not find it or its missing?
>>703995040
Like i said, it verys. Wendys and Whataburger is manager only.
>but if he chooses not to wear his PPE its still the managers fault
Not so fast, if there is a record of training (anything from a checklist to a online video) thats all the company needs to protect himself. They trained the employee, he knew what to do, he choose not to. End of case.
>>703990927
Sue the company sure, but don't sue the individual. Guy probably has little to no money and it'll ruin him for the rest of his life.
Unless you hate the guy, then why not. But if he was just messing around and it's something you do often, why bother?
The company can take the hit, the guy probably can't.
>>703994192
It burns.
>>703990710
Workers compensation?
>>703994417
Nah uh! My pain hurts more than your pain.
>>703995158
They referring to the corporation, it was destroyed by the same idiot using it to clean the broiler... He managed to get it caught on one of the sharp edges and ripped off one of the fingers... then the manager tossed it out because it was "junk" even though we had no replacement for it. Notice that I said it, we had only one when I started working there.
>>703995158
You're talking like industrial PPE though. And industrial sized fryers. I don't THINK I've ever seen anyone wear full length gloves, rubber apron and face shield anywhere other than an industrial setting. And I assume OP worked at some fast food joint. Granted the training is true, but if it was common place for those regulations to be over looked, supervisors could still be at fault for not promoting a culture of safety. I'm not saying you're wrong by any means, just going off of my experience.
>>703995344
The gear we had was Full Length glove (destroyed and trashed) then we still have the face shield (which is difficult to see through) and the apron (the only think kept in shape).
>>703994229
Exactly. I used to work at Mcdonalds, and i slipped on grease, and shoved my hand into the friar for the chicken. But, due to it being indirectly my own fault, I had to pay out of pocket. needless to say, i quit.
>>703994192
I haven't been shot five times in 30 seconds, but i have been shot twice in 5.
>>703995523
Where at? Just out of curiosity. And I have heard of many employers ditching the face shield for that exact reason, I've even heard things such as "the face shield lowers visibility so much that it's more hazardous to wear one than it is to not."
>>703995618
But have you been shot 5 times in two seconds?
>>703995574
Sounds like you should have gotten a lawyer, if they aren't having you clean up grease in the kitchen right after it spills then they're not promoting a safe work place environment. Especially if they are discouraging cleaning it up to keep service time low.
>>703995339
Then the store is liable. It needs two gloves, straight up, and failed to have it.
>>703995344
Nah, im talking about whats in whataburger right now. The gloves go above the elbow, heavy apron, goggles.
They use the same gloves to clean the grill. I personally do the fryers and dont wear shit.
But yeah, training is not for training, its for liability purposes. The culture of non safety would have merit if the store has multiple incidents.
>>703995722
It's Burger King, though since that manager has been fired its gotten a lot better. The guy that bumped me got fired for putting people in danger and all the other managers make sure everything is staying clean. Fryer gloves were finally replaced within this last month (now we have two). I don't want to dice the company because they have really improved since then it really seems more like a case of a bad manager rather than an overall corporate issue. Besides they didn't argue over workman's comp and pay me a decent wage (8.50) for the work I'm doing.
>>703994192
In highschool several seniors held me down an forcibly gave me papercuts between the webbing of my fingers and then stapled them together.
You don't know what true pain is like.
>>703995907
Then I guess it's a case by case variable based pretty much solely on the employers ability to cover their own ass, regardless I think he should get a lawyer. At least one to just take a look at it to see if he's got a chance.
>>703995907
To add, whataburger pays for all workplace injurys, right off the bat, you just have to go to the whataburger's medical care providers, and follow all of their instructions. If its suspect, they will investigate and you could get fired. Its also an instant drug test.
As far as the medical care people are concerned, they are treating whataburger, not the patient, so zero cash for the employee out of pocket
>>703996026
My mom use to punish me by forcing a mechanical pencil into my dick, tell me about real pain!
>>703996088
Oh,the store is liable. No PPE means that 100%. The store is not following its own standards. Instant lost case.
A fucking oven mitt. Jesus.
>>703994192
Bitch, that ain't nothing. I was at work when some fucker dropped 20 sheets of thin plate glass off a fork lift. I was impaled in several places including the bladder. I pissed blood and glass chips for weeks.
>>703996140
The oven mitt was all I could do to protect my arm, and it failed me D: well it saved my hand, so not a complete waste.
>>703990710
Agreed sue the company but only if they didnt provide you with fryer glove ure supposed to have a pair or thick rubber gloves to wear while cleaning out the fryers if your work place does not have them sue them you will 100% win the suit
>>703994192
Getting tackled a few times and then not feeling anything until later.
Meanwhile oil burns are hurt instantly and feel like your skin is melting off because it is.
>>703996139
Just be lucky you had a free dick, mines still fucking locked in a chastity lock. Bitch died and swallowed the key.
If only she had swallowed sooner, then I wouldn't be here.
>>703996310
Also Oil likes to stick to your skin so depending on where the sink is it could take you a few seconds to get it off meanwhile you got piping hot fryer oil on your arm.
>>703990710
One of the many reasons to get out of food service as quickly as possible.
>>703996354
A free dick? The damn thing damaged the nerves it doesn't even work! I wish I was in that belt.
shit dude that sucks
he should get the fryer hook for that
>>703996215
you think that's bad I was bludgeoned with a shotgun during an attempted robbery while delivering a pizza
>>703990710
where do you work?
>>703996452
Fast food is shit, food service is a lot better actually I enjoy it to be completely honest.
>>703996088
Absolutely. That level of documentation keeps the frauds at bay and the stores honest, and the employees protected.
>>703996557
>
Burger king, not a bad company just a bad manager who neglected to preform a lot of his duties.
>>703996521
>delivering a pizza
>lemme destroy my car while making no money and hoping for big or even decent tips or any tip at all.
But tell us about the shotgun story.
>>703996761
It just so happens I'm a burger king porter. I never get the shit out of the bottom I just change the oil when it starts smoking.
>>703996492
No you don't, the damn thing is rusted to hell. The metal is so rough in some places my skin is raw and bleeding. My jaw is so tight that it hurts, I think I've contracted tetanus.
>>703996889
Our location requires that we do it, it makes the grease last longer (which is true).
>>703995775
It wasn't like vat grease, it was more like residue, i guess? The floor was slippery and i slipped.
>>703996785
fuck even worse was while the insurance company footed the medical bills for the next three years I got a monthly stipend but only for my hourly because I didn't claim my tips...I went back and tried to claim them later on but they wouldn't accept it
>>703996919
Well at least your dick still works bro! Mine might as well not even be there :'(
>>703996521
>bludgeoned with a shotgun
Vs
>Pissing blood and glass chips
I'm gonna have to do with blood and glass chips. But please, cry more about your bruises and possible cracked bone.
>>703996982
Then thats either the closer or day crews fault, so long as you had non slip shoes they should have paid
>>703996963
>it makes the grease last longer
Maybe by like a day,not worth it.
does your fryer have the screen mesh basket that catches all the sediment and you can just lift it all out?
>>703997034
yeah I have permanent brain damage from it
could finish my bachelor's in mechanical engineering
so I'll cry more about that
versus your digestive system getting damaged
>>703997013
At least you can still do the helicopter without ripping your Dick in half. How the fuck do you dry yourself off with a damn cage strapped to your dick.
>>703996521
I had to do that once, our front closer (leaves at 11) ended up opening the door too wide which unlocked it, well some kids came in with a knife and learned the fryer tool is mightier than the knife.
>>703997137
Doesn't seem to have stopped you from responding in a capable manner. Besides, rubber spoons are nice.
>>703997136
>>703997136
Here's the part I mean. If you don't have these I highly suggest you order them.
>>703997165
Well you call a locksmith and have then unlock it for you, then you dry yourself and put it back on.
>>703997136
Fuck yes its worth it. Oil is fucking expensive, its the single most expensive item in your store.

>>703996982
well, i did have shoes that were provided by a service through the company, so yes, i guess they would be.
>>703997507
Nigga im a manager, that shit directly comes out of my bonus if im over on food cost. I cum on your paychecks btw.
>>703997480
Well if you get the mesh instead of using the filter machine or reaching your arm in there you can just dump a basket in the trash quick and easy.
>>703997548
>Implying I'm working at bk to get rich.
I like my job it's 100% stress free.
>>703997374
Also not removing it means I have to transfer it into a new vat which has to be toted across a busy kitchen and ultimately is more of a pain than actually knocking out the crumbs.
>>703997507
My fryer drains into a filter vat, and pumps it back into the fryer though a metal filter.
So no need.
>>703997678
>pissing away bonus money over 15 mins of work
Litterally 200 before taxes, right there.
>>703997571
I will not buy a mesh for my store! if they want it they can have it, besides I can get the gunk out in the same amount of time it would take to lift out a mesh. I'm the second fastest employee at the store (if you count managers in that list).
>>703997732
I saw one of those before but it was broke and I had to scoop it out with a ladle,sucked balls,but seemed like a nice set up if it works.
>>703997785
15 minutes? like dude the fryers overall take 15 minutes cleaning out the excess gunk is an extra minute so 18 minutes total 15 you have to do anyways so why not?
At my store if we can keep the bonuses rolling in we can get raises for working hard (thats why I make 8.50)
>>703995158

Fucking sue that faggot
>>703998106
Everyone keeps saying this, but he should have been wearing rubber gloves that go past the elbow so I doubt he would win.
>>703990710
so this time, it really is a burn victime and not a horse dildo...
>>703998002
I work fast food. The only letters i need to know are u s, and a.
>>703997984
I have 4 fryer vats, and i was counting a dump and rotate.
>>703998067
Again no, I am contempt with doing it the current way, besides its not like I have to stuff my hand into the thing to clean it just use the fryer tool to break up the oil as its coming back up and knock the gunk down the drain.
>>703991000
Trips of truth, Kek wills it that you sue him.
>>703998278
Ok just trying to help you out,if you need parts that dmi site is a cheap place to get them.
>>703998415
how much did you get? did you get fired after?
>>703990710
Let me ask you this. It might seem trivial.
Did he apologize?
>>703998463
I appreciate it but I refuse to spend my money on something that the company can buy especially when it cost so much, maybe a scraper not a mesh sheet.
>>703998625
Honestly he was too shocked to say anything xD and by the time I came back he was gone. I don't care that much not worth hitting a kid saving up for college that hard financially.
>>703998790
Listen kid, whataburger manager here.
You can lawer up, but that is high risk, high reward. Chances of a huge payout is minimal. Chances of medical being taken care of is guaranteed.
What you should do is call the HR hotline, and say you were injured on the job, and was not offered protection equipment. Then explain exactly what happened. Any large company will take care of you to avoid a lawsuit.
>>703998790
You're a good guy anon. May I know where you work? Used to work at McDonalds. They take zero precaution to prevent you from getting burned. Didn't get it as bad as you but still have lots of scars from my year there. And I wasn't the only one. One guy even tried to lean on a counter only to figure out he planted his arm into a fryer (That was kind of his fault though)
>>703999134
Burger king, from what I hear about the other fast food places in my area it seems like BK is the second best if you can handle being scolded by managers when you fuck up.
>>703999134
>>703999258
Hey, >>703995574 here, Other Micky D's anon is right, they don't take any measures to assure the safety of their employees, other than the occasional mopping or sweeping.
>>703999412
Yeah I actually refuse to work for McDonalds purely based on how many people I personally know who have said how negligent they are.
>>703999412
Sup fellow Mickey D worker. Glad I left, zero respect and care for the working bee even though without us there would be no macdonalds. I mean sure they assume the work is so trivial that everyone can do it, but I'd like to see some desk jockey clock in 12 hours of constant hard work in a hot kitchen and also lots of cleaning before and afterwards. They're right, were expendable. But all I want is not to be treated like a fucking number and sometimes even a burden if you mess up one thing.
>>703992813
well on the bright side you can show off your scar and tell the heroic story on how you saved a baby and a kitten from a burning building / car. bitches dig that.
1. Sue him
2. Profit
3. ???
4. record yourself jacking off with that arm and start a porn website devoted to burn victims.
>>703999642
however, you do get ONE BENEFIT. Half off on a meal of your choice during the work day.
>>704000258
Oh don't i know it. at least i had a relatively nice manager.
>>703992813
>>704000258
I've never understood why people think anyone can work in fast food the average life of an employee is around 3 months (in really bad stores 1 month) it takes dedication to be willing to come in every day on time and complete all of your work on time in a high paced environment.
>>703990710
My dad's friend burned his arm in a motorcycle accident and became a millionaire from it.
Get your money, bro
>>704000783
Come to think of it, that's exactly how long i worked at Mcdonalds. 3 months. glad i got out before i died.
>>704000679
I get 100% off a meal up to $7 and half off after that, then I have a 30 minute break and medical insurance.
>>704000679
Yeah we had Red-Bull but no customer ever bought it. And because of the discount we coud buy red-bull cheaper than store price so they ended up not selling it at all anymore. It might seem like a benefit but in the end it's all about the money again what fast food is famous for.
>>704000783
I work at Domino's right now as a driver. It's one of the best side-jobs I ever had. Just clear your mind, turn on auto-pilot and drive around for tips.

Depends on the country I think. We don't have a Pizza Hut, Just NYP and Domino's and some local businesses. And it's hell of a lot of fun. Fun colleagues, and I've been there long enough so I can fuck around with other employees without problem. (As long as I don't cross the line) Also tips and very relaxing work. No matter how busy it is I can't drive any faster than when it's not busy. So that means once I'm out that door it's just a way to relax.
Also FUCK NYP

I've been in the industry for more than a decade now, have been around more high end places than what seems to be the fast food crowd of this thread. Places like that retards and liabilities tend to get weeded out fast cause we just don't have time for them, but that doesn't mean mistakes don't happen. I worked one night where, at a restaurant in which we served ahi steaks on a smoking hot oiled skillet, on his way to the pass our saute dumped said skillet all over our expos back. Her skin came off with her shirt. Service went on hold briefly.

Depends on which location but most that are Carrolls run are kept to a higher standard as far as work place environment, also you'll usually see team leaders stopping drama before it starts.
