If you want to know the real story behind your favorite fast-food items, ask the workers.

A recent Reddit thread asked fast-food employees "what should we never order from you?"

Thousands of people responded.

Some had info on what items are overpriced, while others named favorites that they think are gross.

While the thread was anonymous and Business Insider can't verify the identity of the workers, many of the points they made were interesting.

Here are some of the items that people said they refuse to order:

Subway's oven-roasted chicken

"The 'oven roasted' chicken was actually boiled in a microwave," says Reddit user Hotpotabo.

"Don't order something from the 'secret menu,'" writes justine7179. "We sure as s--- don't know what a Snickerdoodle frappuccino is, as it is not a menu item. Employees would be more than happy to make you a drink if you just explain the recipe rather than the name of it. I'll make you diabetes in a goddamn cup if you just tell me what you want in there."

"I used to work at Chipotle, and never ever ever order the Tacos," says KourageWolf. "You get less than half the regular portions. Instead, order a bowl with whatever you want in it, then ask for the taco shells, hard or soft, on the side."

"All Starbucks food is reheated frozen food," says likeabaker. "Ridiculous how little people realize that. Doesn't mean it doesn't taste good, it's just not fresh at all and incredibly overpriced."

Dairy Queen's salads

"Salads from DQ are a rip-off," writes obeyyourbrain "They just recently down-sized them while changing the bowl to make it look like the same amount. Over $5 for 3 oz. of old lettuce, cabbage, carrots and even older grilled chicken."

"I work at a Buffalo Wild Wings. Don't get anything other than the wings. That's the only quality thing there. Everything else is frozen s---," says HunterOfTheSky.
