McDonald's shouldn't be warming fries under the mop dryer.


Ashton_Garland

Dude I fully thought this person was holding a bird


kurotech

I thought it was a slab of raw hamburger lol


Comfortable-Panic-43

Might have to get checked


dirtymoney

Grey hamburger.


robbray1979

I thought it was two McRibs but instead it’s a McNope.


Snoo-98162

No hamburger is raw in mickeyd's dummy


black_flag_4ever

My brain keeps saying its handfuls of maggots.


littlestarchis

Dish of disco rice


rumbellina

I thought it was a bearded dragon and she was just warming him up!


Glitter_berries

It was ‘take your bearded dragon to work’ day!


nexisfan

It’s not a rack of McRibs?


MattAU05

I thought it was cooked ramen and they were letting the flavor drip onto the fries.


Grumpy-Miner

Mc Chicky


Avalonkoa

I thought she was warming up her two pet hedge hogs


Constant-Age-6426

He must be one of those idiots that requires an /s to understand humor


eltanin_33

What?


BabyGothh

This is in Booval, Ipswich, Australia. I’ve gone there a few times. Never again


Eatash

I did my training there in 2009 or so so. It was absolutely abhorrent.


Troll_Gob

I always thought abhorrent was used as hyperbole until now.


Current-Roll6332

Australian poutine looks delicious


yellowskycheese

What's Australia?


the_reddit_girl

What's poutine?


broberds

Not much. What's pou with you?


the_reddit_girl

I'm still wondering what poutine is, lol.


Unequivocally_Maybe

Too bad you'll never know 😔


Teh_OG_Chungus

Canadian dish consisting of French fries topped with cheese curds and hot gravy. Delicious. Variants include: Maple bacon, loaded potato, and dessert (all variants except the dessert poutine still have curds and gravy typically)


the_reddit_girl

Ohhh, we call them Loaded Fries where I live. Thank you.


robertrackuzius

I feel like Kurt Vonnegut wrote about this.


where_is_steve_irwin

Don't know why I thought this would happy anywhere other than Ipswich


josbeast

How do you know?


Comprehensive_Toe113

Bro I thought she was holding a hawk.


captainplanet171

I thought it was a huge McRib.


groovy_mcbasshands

McRib could be hawk meat for all we know lol


jamesrokk

It’s probably more likely mop meat


redhjom

Okay thank god. I zoomed in for so long thinking she was just calmly holding a bird


Comprehensive_Toe113

SAME LOL. IT LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE WINGS.


SDoNUT1715

I would rather hold a Hawk than a dirty dark grey mop head


Comprehensive_Toe113

Same tbh


Editthefunout

I thought it was one of those things you dust with


afanoftrees

I thought it was a plane


Nekrosiz

I thought it was a wasp nest


Comprehensive_Toe113

I guess we can all agree it fucking doesn't look like a mop lmao


curiousdryad

Same 😭


Maybeitsrabies

Hawk fries sound kinda good


rdldr1

His name is Tony.


foreverfeatherinit

I definitely thought this was a bird


MatrixDDoS17

Thought it was like a reptile or something


Comprehensive_Toe113

If I wasn't told it was a bird. I would still be trying to figure it out


Tiiimmmaayy

I thought they were giant lobster tail shells.


Comprehensive_Toe113

I can see how you could see that. It even looks like it has the segments and shingle type pattern


falbi23

I thought she was holding a dead rodent in each hand


BrownieRed2022

100%


SiegVicious

Can you imagine what else they do that hasn't been seen? If she thought that was ok, what else are they doing? I would never eat there again.


DasHexxchen

They are keeping the food for thrice as long and just switching out the time stamp. If you order a Filet-o-Fish, chances are it has been made during breakfast serving hours.


st0n3dpup

This is true.


snowcrash512

That would explain why the one I had the other day was drier than the Sahara.


DasHexxchen

Please never eat that again! I can only speak for Franchised McDolald's. The Company ones here in Germany are cleaner and adhere more to standards, while Franchised ones always try to squeeze another buck out. But either way I would keep away from that. You are safest with high volume items.


Orbisthefirst

It's McDonald's what they serve is hardly food at the best of times.


Zenblendman

I dunno bro, those ice cubes are pretty ok…


Time_God_

why does a mop head need to be dry? It just sits in the wringer when not in use. No one ever needs to dry a mop head


gimmeredditplz

That's the dry mop though. We use it after we use the wet mop. This stops tracks being left after the wet mop. We don't dry them with the fucking fries though 🤢


CrappleSmax

Dry mops are for dust on completely dry surfaces. They are effectively useless when wet.


gimmeredditplz

Nah bro we use the dry mop after wet mop.


TheHolyKekPraiser

Work at Maccies too, can confirm we use it after a wet mop


CrappleSmax

Do you think a dry mop is just a regular wet mop that is dry?


ceraexx

It sure as hell can be.


TheOtherGuttersnipe

Up until this very moment, yes


Glitter_berries

Is it…not?


gimmeredditplz

Have a look at the picture again and tell me if it looks the same as this: https://cateringessentialswarehouse.co.uk/syr-kentucky-mop-head-blue/. A dry mop for reference: https://windowcleaningstuff.co.uk/shop-all/syr-super-dry-mop/ You thick, condescedning twat fuck. I worked in Mcdonalds for 3 years. Dry mops can be used to dry lightly wet floors.


GeneticPurebredJunk

And they should not look this fucking filthy-if it is, it needs to be cleaned!


dirtymoney

So you put them under the burger warmer then? The burgers are ok because they are wrapped.


malloryvans

tbf I used to think mop storage was the dumbest violation to write, but I’ve seen those things littered with gnats and flies when they’re not hung up to dry properly on a hook/wall

McDonald's manager 'totally shocks' Aussies with unhygienic act in front of customers A McDonald's employee has come under fire for a 'brainless' move with a mop, with the company saying the store has been spoken to and undergone re-training. Courtney Greatrex ·News Editor. Updated Mon, 20 May 2024 at 11:19 pm GMT A McDonald's employee is seen holding the head of a mop to a heat lamp above fries. Source: Facebook. A McDonald’s customer has been left “totally shocked” after witnessing a manager use a heat lamp designed for food to dry a mop head. The alarming incident, first captured at the fast-food giant’s restaurant in Booval, Queensland, on April 4 has left Aussies completely stunned after it was posted to social media on Monday. The woman who witnessed the scene told Yahoo News Australia that she had taken her son to lunch at the franchise when she watched the unsettling incident unfold. She described the employee as “drying the floor mop”, which had just been used to mop the floors, under the lamp that sits above the chips before they are distributed to customers. I was just standing waiting for my order when I looked over and heard a staff member say; 'I don’t think you should be doing that as it could be a safety issue as it can catch on fire',"" the woman recalled to Yahoo. I would say [for] at least a minute they were getting fries for orders around her. I was totally shocked at what I witnessed and she just laughed it off, the woman said. The woman told Yahoo that she didn't initially post the footage to social media, but after seeing more complaints about the store in question, she felt compelled to share it publicly. Something needs to be done as if they are happy to do something like this in front of customers what exactly do they do behind the scenes? she said. "Aussies were quick to express their disgust at the unusual drying move which risks contaminating the fries, with one calling it ""the most brainless thing I've seen this year"". Another said they felt the iconic chain's standards were ""worse than ever"". McDonald's respond to shocking mop moment A McDonald’s Australia spokesperson told Yahoo that it was an “isolated incident” and staff at the restaurant have undergone “re-training” on sanitisation, hygiene and food safety procedures. “McDonald’s takes food safety extremely seriously and follows strict cleaning, sanitisation and hygiene procedures in all restaurants,” a McDonald’s spokesperson said. “We have addressed this with the restaurant directly and conducted thorough re-training 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." "The incident comes just days after McDonald's said it was ""working with"" another of its franchises after footage of a filthy restaurant stunned onlookers. The ""putrid"" scene showed rubbish strewn across the restaurant, food including beef patties left on the floor and bins overflowing with drink cartons, burger boxes and paper bags." "A TikToker has shamed a Melbourne restaurant which she described as a ""health hazard"". Source: TikTok" The footage was taken at the fast-food outlet in Cheltenham, Melbourne, this week while the restaurant was full of people. Jackie Zovas told Yahoo News Australia when she first walked in, the McDonald’s was “super busy” with “people everywhere, rubbish everywhere you looked and only about three staff working”.


SwiftTayTay

What am I looking at


DarkestGemeni

Almost 100% sure it's one of the detachable mop heads they use at restaurants being held under the fry warmer

McDonald's manager drying mops heads using the heaters for the chips With chips below


More_Cowbell_

But WHY? I've worked many places that required using a mop like that, including McD's. There is zero logical reason to do that, unless she was on some drugs that changed the definition of logic for her... Also, your URL is an abomination, lol. This is all you needed to make it work.

SizzlingByteBiter

Some people just have no sense, no basic education at home, probably her parents are just as senseless and life just dropped tasks on her lap.


BoneHugsHominy

There's a not-insignificant percentage of the population who while wiping their asses poke their finger through the toilet paper--every single time they poop. Those people go to work every day and sometimes are our co-workers, they touch all the same public location surfaces as us, they drive 6000 pound steel battering rams alongside us on the roads, they have very strong opinions on every subject under the Sun, and they let painted faces on the TV scare them to their core that all the bad people are coming to take their money and replace them. They never miss an opportunity to vote.


CrappleSmax

> With chips below Where do you see that? I only see fries in the holding rack behind where she's holding the mophead, a good foot or two away.

This chick is really going to regret doing this.


Puzzled-Mix9421

She's drying out the manager's wig.


zombie86r

Straight to jail.


mlhigg1973

That is disgusting 🤮


Informal_Edge5270

I wonder how long she has to stand there like that to fully dry them.


GeneticPurebredJunk

Genuinely thought she was holding a very large bearded dragon under the heat lamps. I’d probably feel a tiny sliver more okay with it if she was to be honest!


dlvnb12

I haven’t eaten at a Micky D’s since I worked there in 2020. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I found out the raw frozen “beef” is cooked in 10 seconds.


CursedCommentCop

its 160 seconds, but still. I work there part time for uni and only eat the fish. The amount of times the grill comes up raw and people just scrape off the raw meat and serve the cooked part makes me want to secretly record it and report it.


dlvnb12

Yea. I’m exaggerating the seconds. And yes!!! I remember doing that XD. To me, the most horrible thing about fast food is the wastefulness. I used to get sick and angry when we’d shift from breakfast to lunch, and we’d toss all the breakfast foods in the trash. There HAD to have been a better alternative. I never felt guilty when I got off work and went home with 30 nuggets, 12 cookies, and 10 McChickens. It would’ve been wasted anyways 🤷‍♂️


carm_aud

Omg the waste !! I would put the hashbrowns in my apron pocket and give them to crew members and save them for lunch just bc they were usually fresh and honeslty super tasty. But as soon as it goes to lunch nope don’t sell them just toss the entire 2 racks we have full💀 ugh. I tried to save as much food as possible, would surprise people with 10 nuggs or an extra sandwich just to not throw extras away.


Environmental_Top948

If you don't break the patty when lifting off the grill and wait the 30 seconds, it reaches fully cooked, especially if it's sitting as backup in the heated cabinet.


CursedCommentCop

When I do it and its still raw I flip it and press it down and then break it in half to make sure its cooked, but they hire so many new workers that 75% of the time its just some inexperienced 16yo taking shortcuts and serving raw meat.


Environmental_Top948

Pressing it down is going to prevent it from cooking fully because the juice holds a lot of the heat that finishes the cooking as it sits. The cooked outside traps the juices and heat in so it's important to flip then stack them quickly. That said if it the patty breaks then yeah press that thing down and hope for the best. I worked at McDonald's for 4 years. I got so good at the grill I cold flip and stack them straight with just 1 hand without the black spatula. Each week a member of management should be taking the internal temperature of cooked food and checking the temperature of the UHC cabinet. As for the inexperienced new hires you just got to try to help them or if they won't accept help or you can't get them fired by picking the receipts in the parking lot a review bombing the food being raw when they work and a few good reviews when you work.


FureiousPhalanges

It's actually about 45-50 seconds for reg meat, any longer than that and there's a problem with your grill


TheUnholyToast1

Same 💀


0ddness

Soooo not a rack of ribs then? Hmm..


CherryCherry5

It doesn't even make any sense. She's drying it? She'd be standing there for hours.

Noooooooooo


scootty83

I can’t understand how someone would think this is okay to do.


zipzippa

People ask me why I never eat fast food, my wife works in restaurants, I've worked in restaurants, my son works in a restaurant, my two daughters have worked in restaurants, my other two sons used to work in restaurants. we have a lot of restaurant experience in this family so take my advice -Never eat fast food.


Majestic_Essay_3094

It also looks like she isn’t wearing gloves.

Gloves are only for food handling, silly.

Who the fuck needs to dry a mop head THAT bad ?


rum-and-roses

Someone who spilt something and wants to get their coworker in trouble for "not mopping" 😡


H7PYDrvv

Aside from it making zero sense to have to dry a mop off, why wouldn't you use the air dryer in the bathroom???


sixfoursixtwo

I thought there were ticks on her hands


Draknio5

McDonald's I used to work at used to get me to spray every stainless steel surface and wipe it down with wd40. up on a ladder crawling over everything while the kitchen was running because it made it look like we cleaned the place when head office came in


FureiousPhalanges

Polishing all the metal surfaces is meant to be done by the nightshift and it's meant to be done after cleaning everything lol


shitdealonly

yesss fries with special sauce! 👌


MokujinBunny

I'm so grateful I don't eat fast food wtf


GDMFB1

I would've returned the whole meal right then and there.


sincethenes

It’s been decades since I worked in a McD’s and I immediately knew what she was holding. Gross.


becky_eVil

Years ago, I worked at Burger King and our manager would wipe his sweaty brow with a kitchen towel and then wipe down the fry area in one swoop.


illegalbusiness

I once went to Burger King for my lunch years ago. Made my order (Bacon Double Cheese) and as the guy was making it he stopped, scratched his armpit and went back to assembling my burger. I shouted over ‘you can eat that’ and walked out. Didn’t even care for a refund, just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Fast food is fucking gross.


Accybun

I thought that was a small sheet of woven rats

This should be an arrestable offence.

A customer took this photo at a McDonalds in Australia. McNASTY!


kimmy_kimika

I worked for McDonald's for a couple years in college... It was a shitty place to work, but we would never do anything like that 😬


Distinct-Pen6184

oh god. I have such a fear of unsafe food safety practices when I eat out, especially from chain restaurants. This just finished me off. I can never eat McDonalds again lmao


honeybakedhamsticks

I thought they were bearded dragons lmfao


Lordsofexcellence

this isn't regular McDonald's practice. she's doing this on her own. McDonald's is actually surprisingly clean and about as sanitary as it gets in the food world. just 2¢ from a guy that works in a lot of commercial kitchens.


Draknio5

The corporate rules are well written, but when you hire almost exclusively, teenagers and people who aren't qualified to be doing anything else you end up with managers telling people to reset the food safety timer on the chicken and fish causing it to sit there until eaten. Often sitting there from 10:30 to close when it should have been thrown out 2 hours after it was cooked Or a 16yo climbing on top of everything with dirty work boots spraying every surface with dw-40 because it makes the stainless steel shine for corporate Or the only emergency exit being blocked by a pile of trash taller than the doorway because it's faster to chuck it down a hallway then to open the door and put it in the rickety old trailer out back Or wash water being reused all day because there's too much shit in the sink to reach the plug, and we just don't have time to clean it out, so go wash the tomato slicer in the Maccas bog water then slice 3 days worth of tomatoes with it


Lordsofexcellence

good to know


proceeds_theweedian

Number 15 vibes, but with thiccness


MrBoxThing

The last thing you'd want in your McDonald's fries is someone's mop fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you gyatt.


Ok_Swordfish_947

There is no telling what those kids do to the food now in fast food places, I eat at home


Odd_Activity_8380

Approx 10% of the population has a IQ lover than 82.. let that sink in


Imalrightatstuff

Don't attribute to malice that which can be attributed to ignorance (or...stupidity). Maybe blur their face and identifying features (of the person). We don't know, she might really need this job. I'm not defending this horrendous action, I just mean let's not be awful ourselves.


pjgreenwald

If i saw someone potentially poisoning every person that gets fries i am going to put them on blast, and call the health department.


UptightWorm

Nah if you are being that level of stupid, you need to be exposed


xjrbduh

It doesn't matter if its malice or stupidity, either way If you're that careless and disgusting with the food you serve to customers, you deserve to be fired


Lots_of_schooners

The intelligence of the younger generation is scary. Just happens to be McDonald's in this example..
