An Australian McDonald바카라s employee was caught drying a wet mop underneath the fry station바카라s heat lamp, sparking outrage among customers both in the store and online.
Debbie Barakat took her son to the McDonald바카라s in Booval, a suburb of Brisbane, on April 4. While waiting for her order, she noticed an employee holding the mop just inches away from the hot lights and fries.
바카라I was just standing waiting for my order when I looked over and heard a staff member say, 바카라I don바카라t think you should be doing that as it could be a safety issue as it can catch on fire,바카라바카라 Barakat told Yahoo! News Australia.
Despite the warning, the employee continued to dry the mop for about a minute while other workers carried on, grabbing fries for orders. 바카라I was totally shocked at what I witnessed and she just laughed it off,바카라 Barakat said.
The employee had just finished mopping the floor with the detachable microfiber mop head before drying it in front of customers. Barakat emailed the store바카라s manager but received only a vague response: 바카라Be assured that we바카라re taking corrective action so a similar action will not reoccur.바카라
A McDonald바카라s Australia spokesperson stated it was an isolated incident. 바카라McDonald바카라s takes food safety extremely seriously and follows strict cleaning, sanitization, and hygiene procedures in all restaurants,바카라 the company said. The employee involved will keep her job, but the chain is working to better train its workers. 바카라We have addressed this with the restaurant directly and conducted thorough re-training for all employees on McDonald바카라s sanitization, hygiene, and food safety procedures,바카라 the company added.
Social media users were quick to express their disgust and humour about the incident.
바카라May as well just sweep the fries around on the floor for flavour,바카라 one person commented, accompanied by a vomiting emoji. Another shared, 바카라When I worked at McDonald바카라s, I was astounded by the number of violations made for safety and hygiene.바카라 Others joked about the scene: 바카라So that바카라s where the flavour comes from,바카라 and 바카라Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed mop.바카라
The incident has prompted McDonald바카라s to review and reinforce its food safety and hygiene practices to ensure such actions are not repeated.
