I can basically guarantee this is just a regular order of nuggets resting on some boxes. I've never worked at a McDonald's, but I have worked a couple fast food joints when I was in school.

You would never have that many nuggets ready to order, that would take like three or four fry baskets, and they would go cold before you sold them. That would also be several pounds of nuggets, and that bag would be soaked with grease and bursting at the seams.

    I mean there's a reason you can't take most stories like this at face value on the internet. Or in the coffee room

    I've worked fast food, my kid currently works at McDs. Under no circumstances is there an entire bag worth of chicken nuggets cooked and sitting in the warmer ready to go. Chicken gets cooked to order.

    Nothing happens at all...

    (This is probably a way too obscure and dated reference to a popular song by a Scottish band from the 90s that nobody on Lemmy will know, but what the hell)

    Depends on the location. If they have high volume lunches or dinners they're likely to have a massive amount. People regularly order 10 piece nuggets and children pretty much only eat nuggets. If you just get 1 family of 4 ordering a 10 piece each that's already 40. Then you have 6 cars waiting in the drive thru and there's a line in the lobby.

    That's a lotta nuggets! I believe this man.

    Edit: I just ordered 60 nuggets😹
