Despite concerns raised by onlookers, the \u200cnonchalant attitude displayed by the employee and the lack of immediate action\u2062 by the establishment left many questioning hygiene standards. McDonald&#8217;s responded, addressing the issue with\u2064 re-training and emphasizing food safety measures. The incident highlighted \u2064ongoing scrutiny towards\u2064 McDonald&#8217;s, not \u2063just related to food\u2063 safety but also price \u2063increases that have led to \u2064customer dissatisfaction.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>  <\/p>\n<h2>Customers Furious After Disgusting Act by McDonald&#8217;s Worker While Handling Fries &#8211; &#8216;Totally Shocked&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p> <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/johnathanjones\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/johnathanjones\/%20\"><span>Johnathan Jones<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   May 22, 2024 at 6:29pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>A viral video taken and shared across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bella-hadid-chanted-from-the-river-to-the-sea-palestine-will-be-free-why-this-palestinian-nationalist-slogan-is-a-call-for-genocide\/\" title=\"Bella Hadid Chanted \u2018From The River To The Sea, Palestine Will Be Free\u2019: Why This Palestinian Nationalist Slogan Is A Call For Genocide\">social media shows<\/a> an employee at one of McDonald\u2019s Australian locations has some customers angry.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/feds-detain-14-mexican-soldiers-after-they-crossed-u-s-border-one-carrying-drugs-report\/\" title=\"Feds Detain 14 Mexican Soldiers After They Crossed U.S. Border, One Carrying Drugs: Report\">incident reportedly happened<\/a> at a location in Booval, Queensland \u2014 a suburb of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/thousands-massive-swarm-bees-ruins-bill-gates-time-tennis-match-forces-suspension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brisbane<\/a> \u2014 and showed a female employee of the fast-food behemoth using a heat lamp over the french-fry bin to dry a wet mop head.<\/p>\n<p>That was presumably a mop that had just been used to clean up floors inside the store.<\/p>\n<p>The clip was shot by a woman named Debbie Barakat.

called McDonald\u2019s standards for cleanliness \u201cworse than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company responded to the video and said it had taken action, although no apology was issued and it remains
