They are fine, as long as you don't try to order food outside the meal
rushes. More than once, at different Burger Kings, I got a new bun on
old food.

Wendys where I used to live, I arrived about 5 minutes before the
lunch rush. The burger and the fries were cold. The fry guy actually
told me to be careful the fries were hot. I guess he thought room
temperature fries are hot. I've worked in fast food places, everyone
in that Wendys acted like they were clueless. I thought they got
training. If my boss had caught me serving cold fries, I would have
been fired. Only the soda was the correct temperature, and I served
myself on that one.
