Video exposes nasty act by McDonald’s employee: ‘Not surprised’
- Replies 21
Fast food has become a staple in the modern diet, offering convenience and comfort to many, especially for those who remember the days when a treat like McDonald's was a rare and exciting event.
However, a recent incident at a Macca's in Ipswich, southwest of Brisbane, has left customers feeling more than a little queasy.
Fast food aficionados and casual diners alike were left aghast after a video surfaced online showing a McDonald's employee in a compromising act of hygiene at a Macca's outlet in Booval, southwest of Brisbane.
The incident, which McDonald's has since labelled as an 'isolated incident’, has sparked a wave of reactions among viewers, ranging from humour to outright disgust.
The video showed the employee holding what appears to be a detachable microfibre mop head under the heater, mere centimetres away from boxes of fries.
While some social media users took the opportunity to crack jokes.
'So that’s where the flavour comes from,' one joked.
‘Back in our day, we just used Angus seasoning for the shaker fries,’ another said.
‘Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed mop,’ a third added.
'The old McMop is back! Must be limited time only. Get in while [they’re] hot,' a fourth joked.
However, the majority of the responses were of concern and revulsion.
One user quipped, 'May as well just sweep the fries around on the floor for flavour.’
‘Not surprised. The state of cleanliness in a lot of Macca’s stores is disgusting, their toilets in some stores are a health hazard,’ a woman said.
‘When I worked at Macca’s, I was astounded by the number of violations made for safety and hygiene,’ another user added.
The video has not only raised eyebrows but also sparked a conversation about the cleanliness standards in fast-food chains.
In response to the uproar, McDonald's addressed the situation, saying, ‘McDonald’s takes food safety extremely seriously and follows strict cleaning, sanitisation and hygiene procedures in all restaurants.’
‘We have addressed this with the restaurant directly and conducted thorough retraining for all employees on McDonald’s sanitisation, hygiene and food safety procedures. This was an isolated incident, and we will continue to work with the restaurant to ensure this does not happen again,’ a spokeswoman said.
