A shocking video has made people very angry and made people very worried about the safety of the food at a McDonald’s in Booval, Queensland. A worker can be seen drying a mop head under a fries warmer, only a few inches away from hot fries. The story has gone viral, and many people are disgusted and want more responsibility.
Some people have made fun of the situation, but others are horrified by how badly people are treating each other. Quickly responding, McDonald’s Australia confirmed that they had talked to the employee and that all staff had been re-trained on how to clean and keep food safe.
But some customers are still not sure, wondering if the company really cares about cleaning and food safety. People are talking more about how important it is to keep hygiene standards high in the food service business because of what happened.
People who used to work at McDonald’s have given tips on how to make sure your food is fresh, like asking for fries without salt or pepper on them and not adding salt to your burgers. The event is a lesson of how social media can be used to hold businesses responsible and how open food safety practices need to be.
McDonald’s is getting more attention and needs to work to win back customers’ trust. The quick reaction from the company is a good sign, but only time will tell if it’s enough to fix the problems that this disturbing event caused.
