‘The McMop Is Back’ With Customers Horrified at Video of McDonald’s Employee Drying Mop Under Fries Warmer

Caught on video by a customer, the employee was holding the mop under the heat lamp over the fries to dry the mop quicker. This has made customers feel disgusted, unaware of what could be going on behind the scenes of the popular fast-food restaurant.

She had taken her son to the McDonald’s Booval location, a suburb of Brisbane, Australia, on April 4th, not expecting to see such misconduct in such a popular and established chain restaurant.

She said that she looked over when she heard another employee saying it didn’t look safe to be holding a mop under such hot heat lamps. She then claims that the employees looked for the mop dryer before using the fries warmer for orders.

She emailed the manager of the particular location but didn’t get much of a reply. Just a simple email saying that they are taking the right actions needed. Many people who have viewed the video and photos believe the employee should be fired and customers reimbursed.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s in Australia has spoken out saying the incident was isolated and being taken extremely seriously. It seems as though the employee has kept her job but will hopefully be taught more about health and food safety.

A previous employee of a different chain commented that he was shocked at how many health and safety violations he saw. Another claimed the “McMop” was back on the menu.

Unfortunately, the McDonald’s inside play places have been scenes of incidents, with excrement being found smeared down the slide. There have also been many stabbings and shootings and even glass found in burgers in a Big Mac at one of their New York locations.

According to the McDonald’s website, they made over $25.76 Billion in 2022. Their annual profit ensures that incidents like “McMop” don’t affect them at all. They will always make sales despite what happens in their restaurants.

The IT problem occurred March 15th, very early in the morning, meaning there was no breakfast for those looking forward to a McMuffin. Customers could make orders, but there was a problem with them receiving them. McDonald’s received thousands of complaints from angry customers.

The food choices of an individual has a lot to do with obesity. Many of these choices come from the environment, and as there are so many fast-food places, it’s no wonder the disease is on the rise. There are 200,859 fast-food restaurants across the U.S., and that’s more than enough to always be tempted into an easy but unhealthy meal.

One really bad scandal was when Jack in the Box had an E. coli outbreak. This caused 4 children to pass away, and others were left in serious condition. In the U.K., there was outrage when KFC had a chicken shortage and had to close many of their locations. Other chains have had controversies with money and taxes.

If the manager is present, alert them immediately. If not, do not wait to call or email.  You can also call the local health and food safety government services in your area. If the situation has become a violent or dangerous incident, calling the police is the best action.
