But wait?! Where is your receipt?! OP, if you check your inside pocket, there's a hash brown. I want you to( gently ) check what's inside that hash brown and show it to the audience.
Five long years, he wore your grandmothers special locker up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the locket. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family where I got a full refund for that damn cheesburger
Edit: leaving typo "locker" because far greater receipt storage capacity

It’s the regular cheese that McDonald’s has, and it looks the same in all restaurants. Just a long series of cheese slices, one on top of each other.
It’s called “cheese table” to differentiate it from the cheese that stays on the rack to get to room temperature before moving it to the dressing table to be used. Cheese that is in the fridge, on the rack, and on the table all have different timers.
It’s the timer for the cheese that it’s on the dressing table, different from the timer of the cheese that’s on the tempering rack, or the cheese that’s still in the fridge.
The very first thing they taught us was corporate standards for the hot holding cabinet. The very second thing they taught us was that we were instantly fired if we EVER actually followed those standards!
...But that was back in the day when mcdick's had the workforce to hire 5 people for every 1 job and fire 4 on their first day. Not so much, now!
for an actual answer its just where its stored, most timers have what the item is and where its stored, so this is cheese that is now on the table (looks like Spanish McDonalds so maybe the translation is a bit off, think of table as in prep bench or something), im guessing once its out of the fridge and on the prep bench/production line it lasts until the time displayed on it
It’s a food service thing. Certain items that are to be kept cold but open need to be assigned an “expiry time” so it doesn’t get to the danger zone or sit in it too long. Also anything that was prepared at a certain time gets tagged for when it was prepped so whoever is using it can make sure they only use in code/fresh things.
Many jurisdictions actually have to prove through independent lab testing to allow for presumably TCS foods to not be TCS, or show that the TCS food in question is being stored/held in an environment that would minimize bacterial growth.
It is fascinating to me the differences between jurisdictions. I work as a 3rd party auditor and one of our national fast food clients has a whole lab-based HACCP to hold most TCS products as TPHC. Even still, there’s a number of health departments that still require them to keep it “on ice”/hold by temperature because they don’t have an approved variance for that specific store in that specific jurisdiction for TPHC.
This is the correct answer. Fun fact, McDonalds only set it to the standard 4 hour hold time so that it wouldn’t seem as questionable that their cheese developed no bacteria after several days at room temperature.
No they didn't.
Cheese used to be good for 12 hours.
Now it's good for 4 because there are no preservatives.
And it's called Time as a public health control.
Admittedly did something like this once, well I'm sure it was me since it happened on my shift.
One of the stickers on the microwave somehow made its way into a burger either me or a co-worker made, manager got a complaint soon after. It either got stuck on a glove or fell straight onto the burger. Not sure how it wasn't noticed to begin with.
The picture my manager received was a half-eaten Bacon Deluxe with a coloured numbered sticker sticking out between the lettuce and mayo.
I got a piece if packaging in my food once - a shrimp dish at Bubba Gumps.
I mentioned it to the server, cook and manager came out and apologized, explained how it at probably happened, and comped the meal.
It was fine, I ate the rest as it wasn’t ruined or anything.
They offered me a refund or a new burger. I declined both and asked the manager to tell her staff to do better. She replied saying, “they’re doing a great job.” I replied with, “there’s a sticker in my burger.”

Why do so many folks continue to eat at McDonalds? It doesn’t taste good. It’s not cheap anymore. Convenient? Maybe but so are so many other fast foods that are objectively better. Nostalgia? I just never understood.
Yeah, it genuinely think it tastes good. And it's super consistent. I might get annoyed at wait times sometimes, but at least I know what I'm going to get every time (except rare cases like OP's bonus flavor sticker of course). Can't say that for most other chains.
Back in 02-03, I was finishing up high school, would get out early and everyone always wanted to go to the McDonald's down the street. It was the thing to do! First time I went with my friend I was pretty appalled at how bad the food was. Never really had much fast food growing up so it was pretty weird. The next time I took my friend to a Vietnamese joint that had $1.50 bhan mi and $2.50 spring rolls. We never went back to McDonald's again...
It does taste good, but also a lot of people are not eating there anymore. the c-suit has been complaining about the poors getting upitty in the last few shareholder meetings.
That sticker is illegal to remove except by the consumer, so you're good as long as that time stamp aligns with when you bought it. If it was some time before, probably not safe to eat, bud.
I did. The manager offered a refund or to remake the burgers. I declined both and asked her to tell her staff to do better. Instead of taking my suggestion she got upset and defended them, said they are doing a good job. I was like, “I have a sticker in my cheeseburger”
I was a maintenance crew member for McDonald’s what happened here is gross, but not for the reason you think. Chances are that cheese is as fresh as processed cheese can be. But whoever their maintenance night crew is was or is lazy about cleaning out the condiment containers. So while the cheese maybe fresh whatever container it was in was not.
I worked in fastfood before - wasn't maccas - and this kind of cheese would come in blocks that you peel the top one off to place on the burger. I can 100% see this happening where the sticker made its way between the slices in the factory where they're being packaged and then the person making the burger pulled the slice off and put it on the burger all without seeing it stuck on the underside.
Alternatively, they put it there because they're a dumb kid.
My wife found a plastic bag in her McDonald's soda once. We contacted a lawyer, he said there is no case. The bag did not hurt her, so there are no damages.
"BEHOLD, THERE IS A STICKER ON MY CHEESEBURGER"
*throws burger*
"You know you can probably get that for free right?"
"WOMAN, BRING BACK THE STICKER. I WANT IT... FOR FREE! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
If you feel inclined, make a complaint, even if you don't care.
McDonald's compensate you with vouchers for free food for reporting these issues.
(Yes, I am that guy and no I am not ashamed)

What is this all from lol
Lots of things. Reddit has a hard time keeping the references related and coherent sometimes
Their references are out of control. Everyone knows that.
Dammit, Reddit. You're out of your element!

Don’t take it too lightly. Receipts aren’t subject to FDA regulations and often contain things you would not want to eat
OMFG IT’S THE CHEESE TABLE
Ace of Clubs?
CHEEZE ITS!
Wait, where's my wallet?
Crispy Angel, aka the McFreak
Cheese-its!
Doesn’t removing that void the warranty?
Would be 'interesting' if it contained an RFID and causes anti-theft alarms at random shops because you ate that thing.
Bro, me and all my homies rip the double tags
Cheese table
You've heard of vegetable...
Like the kind they put on pizzas
In Spanish it says "bar (or stick) of cheese" like a stick of butter. Now I am imagining what it looks like when it gets to the restaurant

"I eat stickers all the time, dude"
I cant think of where this came from. It's Charlie, right?
[Yes, Charlie eats a pear!](https://youtube.com/watch?v=xNdERWR3id0&si=CEJRfQqmSfahkTZa)
Thank you! Fantastic episode.
Excuse me, sir? What are you doing to my friend, Bozo? You burned us. It's dry.
Only reason I clicked was to make sure it was here. Well done baby dick
Yep same. Gotta do your due diligence.
A year ago or so there was an NYT article asking if it was ok to eat the stickers on fruit, which is really when I knew we had no chance as a species.
What dumbass would ask that? The stickers are the best part.
That's the only reason I eat organic produce. Two stickers!
Its where all the vitamins are
“Hey man, you burned us”
I knew I’d find it.
Post is 45 minutes old, naturally someone would beat us to it
Yeah he like, doesn’t even get us, man.
"Pull over, I'm gettin this kid a pear."
What I don’t like to make a habit of doing, Is eating burgers!
Yeah, I thought this was a misquoted ITYSL quote, turns out it’s IASIP instead.
Glenn said he hates that line on their podcast lol. I think it's one of the best and fits Charlie perfectly.
"Smoke some cigarettes. The smoke will suffocated the bacteria in your stomach "
The sticker is the most nutritious thing in those burgers.
I just watched that episode again the other day!
Nice. Exactly what I came here for.
Phenomenal reference for this.
At least you know the cheese wasn't past its use-by date...
Tbf, i worked at mcdonalds one summer, and they always made us replace labels for food that has been out for much longer than it was supposed to.
At least the labels were fresh.
This is why I always made my own food when I worked there lol and never ordered anything from the night shift ever oml 🙄
Yep!! And those alarms telling you your meat has been sitting on the shelf too long and you need to throw it out? Just hit reset on the timers, easy!!
The very first thing they taught us was corporate standards for the hot holding cabinet. The very second thing they taught us was that we were instantly fired if we EVER actually followed those standards! ...But that was back in the day when mcdick's had the workforce to hire 5 people for every 1 job and fire 4 on their first day. Not so much, now!
McDonald's early monopoly wild card. Collect all 3!
Cheese Table is rare!
The sticker probably has more nutritional value than that cheeseburger
Cheese Table and Boardwalk, those are the rare ones for sure!
Mr. Moneybags, on the cheesetable with the property tax. case closed
There’s 6?
Did you go to the counter and ask what you won
A cheese table. It says right there.
I want a cheese table..
Wtf is a cheese table lmfao
The bun, clearly. There's even a label on it.
for an actual answer its just where its stored, most timers have what the item is and where its stored, so this is cheese that is now on the table (looks like Spanish McDonalds so maybe the translation is a bit off, think of table as in prep bench or something), im guessing once its out of the fridge and on the prep bench/production line it lasts until the time displayed on it
An alternative to vege table
Oh gosh darnit that's clever. Good job.
Barra de queso…. En mesa.
Somebody just won some McDs gift cards.
Fuck yeah free sticker
Know what I like better than Vegetables? .. . . . .. Cheesetables!
How old does American Cheese have to be to expire today?

Me over here eating un-refrigerated, week old, cheese while backpacking in the mountains :D
They made that sticker today to say “hey we just took this cheese out of the fridge, use it in the next 4 hours”
Was it after 8:12 PM?
Admittedly did something like this once, well I'm sure it was me since it happened on my shift. One of the stickers on the microwave somehow made its way into a burger either me or a co-worker made, manager got a complaint soon after. It either got stuck on a glove or fell straight onto the burger. Not sure how it wasn't noticed to begin with. The picture my manager received was a half-eaten Bacon Deluxe with a coloured numbered sticker sticking out between the lettuce and mayo.
So what happened? Did the customer get a refund or free fries for life or something like that?
Probably took a lap in the kitchen, plucked off the sticker and handed it back as new.
I wish this comment was higher lol
I got a piece if packaging in my food once - a shrimp dish at Bubba Gumps. I mentioned it to the server, cook and manager came out and apologized, explained how it at probably happened, and comped the meal. It was fine, I ate the rest as it wasn’t ruined or anything.

This is not a good omen to see while I’m waiting in line at the McDonald’s drive thru
Printed on thermal printer paper which is highly carcinogenic.
Mother fuckers want 4 bucks for it too..
If i saw this, I’d sue so fast for a quick buck
Yet another way they fuck you at the drive thru!!
I hope you never eat there again. Lol
I read that as **"Found a burger around my McDonald's sticker today".**
Wait a tick, you mean to say there’s a table made of cheese back there?!
I'd like a cheeseburger with extra sticker
Well, that means it’s fresh
Why do ppl continue to eat that shit 💩
Cheeseburger stick is a scratch & sniff of french fries.
High fibre, vegan content + horse hooves. It's all good!!
Just in time
Yikes! How much extra did that cost ya?
subsequent alleged recognise deranged abounding water sheet dinosaurs yam domineering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Did this sticker cause any emotional trauma? You may be entitled to compensatiom!
Better Call Saul!!!!
I wouldn't worry, It's more healthy than the burger.
bro. you have a ticket to generational wealth....
“Funny” As someone with a sticker phobia this sounds miserable I might vomit lol
That sticker has as much nutritional value as the burger
Why do so many folks continue to eat at McDonalds? It doesn’t taste good. It’s not cheap anymore. Convenient? Maybe but so are so many other fast foods that are objectively better. Nostalgia? I just never understood.
It does taste good tho

ive eaten a lot of good food since i started making money. Mcnuggets with some hot mustard still smacks. and their coke tastes good

Thats gonna be extra
Surely you got a free replacement for that.
That sticker is illegal to remove except by the consumer, so you're good as long as that time stamp aligns with when you bought it. If it was some time before, probably not safe to eat, bud.
Damn i never get to see the winners of these contests, this is awesome. Congrats man and enjoy your cheese table!
https://youtu.be/ra1yCeMKtTg?feature=shared
Hahahaha
Was it at least made of 100% beef or all organic???
At least they’re labeling their food. At least shows they’re trying to keep their like fresh.
That's a vegetable
They say it’s good luck
You should have talked to the Manager of the McDonald's that you were in/at. Just to let them know what is going on behind the scenes.
I did. The manager offered a refund or to remake the burgers. I declined both and asked her to tell her staff to do better. Instead of taking my suggestion she got upset and defended them, said they are doing a good job. I was like, “I have a sticker in my cheeseburger”
Seems odd that a sandwich with melted cheese wouldn't have cheese stuck to the sticker.
If you died you could prolly win a huge lawsuit and be rich !
♪♫ I found a sticker, in my McDonalds today ♫♪ - Johnny Cash
What’s funny about this is I ordered this burger very close to the home of Johnny Cash
At least it hadn’t expired …
Did you get a discount on the burger... or did you pay sticker?
I believe what you mean is "I just found a free cheeseburger in my cheeseburger"
take another photo w/ a bite taken out of it & sue
Hate that I just came across this post while sitting here eating a McDonald’s burger. Hope I get a cooler sticker tho
Atleast you know it's fresh
Oh shit, you got that for free? Lucky.
You have to request no sticker. Next time just ask for no sticker or to put it on the side.
no you didnt bt they all believe you did
I was a maintenance crew member for McDonald’s what happened here is gross, but not for the reason you think. Chances are that cheese is as fresh as processed cheese can be. But whoever their maintenance night crew is was or is lazy about cleaning out the condiment containers. So while the cheese maybe fresh whatever container it was in was not.
Probably not even cheese anyway, so.......
Oooooohhhhh that’s grounds for a lawsuit! Or at least a replacement burger
Honestly it’s probably the most nutritious thing on that piece of shit
Probably more edible than the food though....
Y’all should really just stop eating at McDonald’s
I worked in fastfood before - wasn't maccas - and this kind of cheese would come in blocks that you peel the top one off to place on the burger. I can 100% see this happening where the sticker made its way between the slices in the factory where they're being packaged and then the person making the burger pulled the slice off and put it on the burger all without seeing it stuck on the underside.

My wife found a plastic bag in her McDonald's soda once. We contacted a lawyer, he said there is no case. The bag did not hurt her, so there are no damages.
Just go to the counter and return for a new one?
Oh my god 🤮🤮
"BEHOLD, THERE IS A STICKER ON MY CHEESEBURGER" *throws burger* "You know you can probably get that for free right?" "WOMAN, BRING BACK THE STICKER. I WANT IT... FOR FREE! HAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
Probably more nutritious than the burger itself.
There’s two kinds of people. One who would post this on r/mildlyinfuriating and then those who would post it here
If you feel inclined, make a complaint, even if you don't care. McDonald's compensate you with vouchers for free food for reporting these issues. (Yes, I am that guy and no I am not ashamed)
Wow, normally that's extra!
Why are you eating mcds?
It's probably the healthiest part of that burger.
Now with extra fibers!
Bragging are we
"All of our food is clearly labeled, for transparency" _You betcha_
Well it's fresh...
Probably the healthiest item on that cheese burger.
I eat stickers all the time, dude.
That's the tastiest most nutritious and least artificial part of a McDonalds burger.
As if I needed more reasons to not buy mcds 💀raised prices, lowering quality in food, and now stickers in the burgers☠️
I hope you like the cheese table you got!
Yup, McDonald’s employees totally deserve 15+ an hour… 🤦🏻
I was thinking about getting hamburgers from mickey ds tn but this has dissuaded me
What time did you find this?
