I worked at Burger King when I was 16 and only the women made the tea. Of course that was the summer that we got busted for having "fecal matter" in the tea because the water didn't get hot enough. Channel 15 was all over the place

I absolutely ask every where I go if there tea is fecal or not. You'er right they usually have to check. Makes me wonder how bright people in the service industry are?

Then I would say you worked at a VERY weird restaraunt.

Most tea and coffee in most restaraunts is made by the service people Not the cooks. Go in the back of restaraunts and you will likely find in 80-90% of them the place where you fill the drinks in the waitress/waiter area and not in the kitchen.

Did you fill the sodas when they needed to be filled? Did you get refills?

I worked as a chef for 6 years and I can say that I never once touched a drink machine. That is the job of the bartender or servers if there is a drink station.

Sweet Tea is disgusting and a sign of the decline of western civilization.

Regular Iced Tea or Iced Green Tea plain without any frivilous flavors added, is Nirvana on a hot summer's day.

OK, so how do you make iced tea at home? (I almost never drink iced tea at restaurants except green tea.) I use a recipe from Fine Cooking, I think it was -- for two quart containers, take 6-8 teabags (I use ginger peach from Republic of Tea, usually) and about 1 1/2 quarts water. Bring water just to a pre-boil, add tea bags, swish once, and remove from heat. After 5 minutes, remove tea bags -- don't press them dry, just fish them out. Divide into two one-quart containers (should each be about 2/3 to 3/4 full), fill to the very top with ice cubes and cap. When ice has melted, refrigerate. It is not bitter, is usually fairly clear, no risk of bacteria like Sun tea, and is strong enough that poured over a lot of ice, it is perfect strength.
