Arby's does sux majorly, i've served people like half-raw roast beef before because people were too lazy too cook it anymore. I will never eat there except for the chicken/ham/turkey shit.
Plus the mozzerela sticks there pwn.

Wow, good list.
Personally, I haven't eaten at burger joints in awhile and I've gotten violently ill from Arby's and Subway recently... so I'm done with those too. Fast food is horrible, there's really no reason to eat that shit. 
And in response to what Finigan said: yep, I believe it. An old coworker of mine used to work at Arby's and she said when it got really busy, they nuked the roast beef instead of letting it finish cook. Mmm, that's healthy!

I've never really gotten sick from any of those fast food places, but I think I've finally come to put them behind me. I mean, the food is ok at the time, but you feel so s****y afterwards. And I'm trying to eat healthier now-a-days.

There's two Subways just 5 minutes from work and both have gotten me sick. The one in the mall near here got me very sick just this past November. Food poisoning, I felt the same way I did from Mongolian BBQ just before they ditched the wooden chops. Subway is dirty.

Arby's is really bad news. I've taken to avoiding it recently.

if you want to find something real scary, look for resturants local to you that have failed health codes. 90% of them will be mom and pop places with the fast food chains ranking in the top 10%. So, no matter how dirty fast food places are, they are much cleaner than non chains.

Yes, greasy spoons are just as bad. However, most of the places I frequent score pretty well. The one Big Boy's near my old house was 97% last I saw. Pretty good stuff.
My favorite restaurant when I was in highschool was called Hooligan's, which was basically an Irish pub that served awesome shepherd's pie (nearly impossible to find anywhere else). I couldn't wait to eat there when I turned 21 so I could get the whole experience... but sadly they appeared in the local news' 'dirty dozen' and closed just after that (about 3 months before by 21st b-day *cries*).
You never really know which places are dirty and which are not, but abstaining from fast food can't be a bad thing.

Subway has gotten me sick numerous times - I have about 3 6" worth of coupons I may never use just because of the queasy feeling I get thinking about the porcelain throne sessions its given me.
A place we have here called Muchos Gracias used to be the f*****g bomb, but then they changed something and now their meat has this seriously rancid-like tinge to it...all of it. None of my friends eat there any more because of it. I made the mistake of stumbling in at about 2am after some drinking and such and ordering a Chimichanga - left most of it for them on their sidewalk in handy bite-sized peices.
Arby's? Remember that Simpsons episode where Otto f****d the bus up and wrecked everyone on an island? They were all starving and such and one person goes "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arbys", followed by extreme shock by the rest of the starving people. Yeah, that.
Amazingly, I've had Jack in the Box many, many times and was only once dissapointed. I ordered two tacos for $1.00, got my tacos, sat down...and they weren't cooked. I go up to the guy and politely explain that I like my food cooked, so he takes the tacos and replaces them with two more uncooked tacos. I'm pretty well-versed in how Jack in the Box does their tacos, and they certainly aren't flimsy frozen half-raw peices of shit. Ended up getting limp fries and a small Coke =(.
Also, I dunno if anyone else noticed this, but that report is a f*****g nightmare.

subway is disgusting. Spend a few extra dollars and eat a good meal at Quizno's instead  I haven't had KFC in about 3-4 years now just because of the poor quality food they serve. The biscuits are so tasty though, I miss them.

I've been food poisoned 10x. Pretty nasty! Incident #6 my temperature reached 106! I thought I was a werewolf. It was odd.

I like it that the restaurants are a little filthy. Not only are they controlling the surplus population, but they are also practicing darwinism. Stupid and fat people will be most likely to be affected by bad food, and of those who aren't in the shallow end of the gene pool, only the strongest will survive 
For the record, I've never gotten food poisoning from eating out. The closest I'v ever come to getting any food poisoning anywhere was something I cooked up at home that was of dubious quality before I cooked it. But even then, I've never thrown up...ever.
But then again, my stomach and intestinal tract has an indominable will that defies any and all gastronomic challengers.

Bad luck? There are 4 stores in the area and ALL of them are barely worth spending the money at. Each one has that meat that you know has been sitting out (hey, what's that strange colorful sheen on your beef and why is it moving?), limp-as-f**k lettuce, soggy tomatoes and shit intermingled. You can request to not have a single g*****n olive and you'll still get at least a slice. The bread is pretty decent (at least, the wheat and honey oat and shit that isn't coated in spray cheese and jalepeno-flavored chunks) but only because it's the one thing in the store, besides the soda fountain, that doesn't require anything other than bread in, bread out. Bread in, bread outl.

Beltline Bar around here got 5 or 6 health violations last year alone I think, but they've been open for years upon years. They make the best wet burritos I've ever had, apart from a homemade one. I don't think they even lose much business whenever they get another violation. =)

You just have to build up your immunities .
You guys getting food poisoning all the time are just too delicate. Make an effort to eat off of the floor any time you can. Never wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Intentionally eat things from your refrigerator that you are not sure are still good. Drink 2-week old milk with your nose plugged. Eat at the grungiest looking restraunts you can find.
I don't know if there's anything to this actually, but I grew up on a ranch. We drank unpasturized milk that more often than not had flies and manure dust in it by the time you were done milking and just strained it through a piece of guaze and drank it. I have been covered in cow shit more times than I can count and no doubt ingested it (involuntarily) dozens if not hundreds of times, but I have never in my life gotten food poisoning from anywhere. I find it hard to believe that people have gotten violently ill so many times from eating at restraunts that are possibly not 100% disinfected but almost certainly cleaner than my apartment kitchen ever was during college. Hearing that somebody found microscopic particles of manure in hamburger just doesnt' upset me when I have had non-microscopic amounts of it lots of places I didn't want it many times with no ill effects.
Anyway, my completely uninformed non-expert opinion is that people these days live too clean and don't build up any immunities.
