"Notably, Trump did not wear a hairnet or gloves while serving food, claiming that “my hands are clean already.” This assertion stands in stark contrast to health standards that require food handlers to maintain strict hygiene protocols.
In fact, the McDonald’s location Trump visited has a recent history of health code violations, having failed its last health inspection from Bucks County. The report cited multiple infractions related to employee hygiene, particularly the lack of proper handwashing practices, which are essential for minimizing the risk of foodborne illness."
Thank you for your service.
I can't thank the presidential candidate for his service though, since there wasn't any.
I love how he mocked Harris saying she never worked there or whatever and then does a publicity stunt but can’t even follow the most basic rules of the job. Someone actually working that position would be terminated for health code violation.
"my hands are clean already"
As someone who ran a restaurant kitchen for 5 years, this is called a lack of standards. Oh I forgot gloves? Meh. That's a slippery slide that shows you don't actually care or have standards, and you throw rules by the side when it suits you. That a sign of a shit worker.
This is called "someone who doesn't wash when they go to the bathroom because they say their hands are clean already." That's what this is called.
I can't wait until they're on the news next year because they were shut down because every business Trump touches turns to shit. Like the King Midas of poop. King Poodass.
King mierdas. Mierda is spanish for shit.
I'm kind of a germaphobe and am big on washing hands, but if I were a mcdonalds employee, there's just no way I'd have gloves on to put out the hamburger patties then take the gloves off, and wash my hands, then put another set of gloves on to do other food prep stuff.
I'm not washing my hands between every glove swap. You don and doff your gloves correctly there's no reason to.
Ew.
"We are not a political organization."
Well even if I believed you, which I don't, you will be now. Good job dipshit.
Small business???? Bitch you own a fucking McDonald's get the fuck out of here
They technically qualify. All the franchises do. Yes it's cursed. Especially when it's time to hand out SBA funds. Remember the pandemic? All the small business money got sucked up by franchises and large money cap/small employee number businesses.
Poor guy probably got a small million dollar loan for his small McDonalds business!
We all know how much McDonald Trump cares about small businesses…
Also there is this… https://www.newsweek.com/mcdonalds-donald-trump-worked-failed-last-health-inspection-1971998
Read the sticker, he doesn’t own a franchise he owns the “DG Empire” what a dork
Many are franchises, so yes, it's technically a small business.
Of course they closed the McD for that occasion. DT is not qualified or certified to work with food. Imagine he undercooks something or f-cks up cleaning the salad properly and people fall ill. Of he could have spread some germs, as we don't know what prevents him from publishing his medical record.
They probably also had to sanitize everything and throw out any food his diaper touching hands have touched
Plus, the Secret Service needs. Logistically, they had to.
Well you don't want food service workers wearing gloves for the most part. Nonsterile gloves protect the wearer much more than anything they're touching and food should be the opposite of chemically unsafe to touch. Gloves can also undermine a focus on or even specifically discourage regular handwashing which is what actually keeps food and food prep equipment clean / sanitary. Unless you have cuts, sores, warts or some other infection on your hands, gloves are the least helpful solution to keeping food sanitary.
That said, I doubt he washes his hands adequately and the whole hairnet thing is gross AF, especially with that glued-on dead animal he calls hair.
I just get feisty about the gloves thing because I remember during the pandemic when my hospital was struggling to keep gloves in stock for us to handle blood and bodily fluids with, and one day in an urgent care I saw a patient in the waiting room wearing gloves reach up and run his gloved hands through his hair. I almost just screamed at him. They're not magic clean hand socks you have to use them properly and in the right situations.
I went to subway recently (and briefly) and the employee sneezed into their gloved hand before starting my sandwich. Literally no glove change, just grabbed the bread and kept going.
I said never mind and left.
We went to a breakfast place and watched a cook walk into the means room, then back out wearing gloves. We noped out pretty fast
Subway is the X.com of sandwiches. Way too many people giving it undue legitimacy.
I'm right with you on "magic clean hand socks". In the canteen at my last job the staff would make sandwiches wearing gloves and then take money from customers and ring it up on the till - still wearing the same gloves. Cash is the filthiest thing you could touch in this situation, but they'd go and make the next sandwich after handling it. Yuck.
I definitely had my doubts when Subway started having their employees wear those weird loose "definitely not sterile" plastic gloves while making sandiwches.
Subway is a little different because it’s often the same person taking cash as making the food. Money is dirty and the register doesn’t get sanitized too often either. The option is wash your hands with soap and water after taking payment or slap on some fresh gloves. Those loose gloves are a faster changeover than properly washing your hands. And they don’t have to be sterile, just clean.
In a McDonalds you have separate folks doing the prepping & cooking vs the ordering and serving. If the person the person touching the food never touches the register, and the person handling the ordering/serving only touches the outside of the packaging, then neither of them have to wash their hands as often.
The problem with rubber gloves in food service is they provide a false sense of security. They make you think you are being sanitary, when the reality is you should wash or change your gloves anytime you touch something that would have necessitated you to wash bare hands.
Well, like you say, it's all down to proper use.
Don't bare-hand raw meat, don't use meated up gloves to touch other things.
How does McDonald's corporate feel about their franchisees using McDonald's for political stunts?
Well their franchises have supported genocide so maybe this is not so bad in comparison.
"we proudly open our doors to everyone".. when they're officially 'closed'?
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock...
Donnie McRonnie, don't feed me a line of shit, I ain't sniffing it. Fuck McDonald's.
I'm with you on "fuck McDonalds" but this is an incredibly dumb gotcha. They're dumb enough, let's not try to out stupid them.
Hey, they didn't say when they proudly opened their doors to everyone. Apparently it's not "normal working hours."
lmao this owner is so demented he thinks McDonalds is a "small business". You're a franchisee, not a small business. Enjoy making french fries for nobody.
Well that's not accurate. By weight, Trump is one of their largest customers.
At first I found it baffling that the Trump Campaign would go along with Donald’s McStupid idea for a photo op because anyone not experiencing significant cognitive decline would be able to see that it’d put a lot of unwanted attention back on the fact that Donald Trump has never worked a day in his life. But after some thought, I suppose it did succeed in getting people to stop talking about his dementia induced DJ set for an afternoon.
I now ask the Internet for an animated gif of him dancing by himself at McDonalds.
He jumped on the intercom and stated blasting “Itsybitsy Spider”
If anything he'd be mumbling "ding fries are done ding fries are done ding fries are done"
I don't know, he has a real 'lost Alzheimer's sufferer' look on him in the photos I've seen.
Back in 2016 I wondered what the world would say if trump and hillary released a sex tape 2 months before the election.
It's two people who you'd never want to see naked, or fuck.
Now in 2024, maybe it's the resemblance to Maya Rudulph, but Harris is definately fuckable.
But if there were a Harris and trump sex tape released, I would expect Harris to be wearing a big black strapon, just so she can make trump gag on his own words in other ways.
Now, if we could get a mid-90s Bill Clinton together with a modern day Kamala Harris? That's a fuckable presidential couple! Just like JFK and Jackie! Or Barrack and Michelle.
Username checks out
....ooooookaaay.
Maybe it’s me, but I generally don’t spend much time thinking about presidential candidates having sex unless they’re doing scandals about it. I honestly couldn’t care less so long as everyone involved is a consenting adult. Which incidentally is my issue with Trump’s sex life
Buddy I think it's time to lay off the porn...
Probably for the best, honestly. You don't want diaper leakage, Adderall, or malignant narcissism getting into people's food.
What I don't get from the other article,
the inspector noted that food workers, including Trump during his visit,
But this is the inspector from
According to the March 2024 Bucks County health inspection report,
How could the inspector who inspected on or before March 2024 have observed this guy "working" at the store for an event that just happened a few days ago?
‘Small businesses’
Signed on paper that says "DG Empire"
You know you're reading a quality publication when they use an exclamation mark at least once per paragraph.
I'm still struggling to see what point he was trying to make.
The right is losing it because Harris said she worked at a McD bad has shown no prove of it.
Possible she never has and it's a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.
This right is behaving as if Trump never told a single lie in his long life. It's Harris making a claim without backing it up has been THE THING all week now on most right wing forums I peek at.
It’s worse than this. They’re saying because it wasn’t on her resume (curriculum vitae) 20 years later when she was going for another job, possibly a law job, that it means she was lying.
These dumb fucks don’t realise that CVs are for listing relevant work to the role you’re applying for. When I was applying to become a software developer I too didn’t list McD on my CV because that’s fucking dumb.
Possible she never has and it’s a lie to appeal to the working class voters. Or not. I honestly dgaf.
The weird thing is that they'll tolerate literally any lie from donnie and still vote for him.
Or, maybe not that weird. He's a rich (allegedly), white, male, nominally xtian, Republican, bidnessman. No need to apply any kind of standards.
It was for weirdos on the right that are so terminally online that they whipped themselves into a frenzy over Kamala working at McD's. They want to see the long-form birth certificate of her pay slips from - checks notes - several fucking decades ago - at some service-level job or they'll stamp their feet even more...
People talk about how weird that publicity stunt is instead of how he's a gross, fat, perverted, dumb, criminal wannabe dictator
No shit.
“Open our doors to everyone” that’s why we are closing them for you!
The whiplash on that was insane.
Ok it shouldn’t be a big deal, but I’ve found that you can tell a lot by a signature.
This guys signature looks like a 7th graders.
Edit: wow I just noticed the “DG Empire” on the sticker. Emperor Axe Body Spray over here
Why is that important? I mean it’s not really, I’ll fully admit I’m being petty. But I’ve found that people that write like they’ve just learned cursive do so because they seldom write things. Now this observation is likely less true today than it was in the Jurassic period when I grew up and had to write out schoolwork, but given that this guy owns a McDonald’s franchise I’m gonna guess he had to handwrite schoolwork too.
There is just something visceral about this signature, it’s a sloppy and bad version of textbook cursive. One of the things that happens when people write a lot is that they develop their own handwriting style.
Anyways, the sentiment in this letter and the stupid stunt are enough to hate, but this signature is just awful 1 / 10 please try harder.
I don't know how it happened, but over the years, my signature developed from '7th grade cursive' to 'squiggle that vaguely starts with my first initial in cursive.'
Yes, I think that’s part of it, I shouldn’t be able to read every letter in your signature. I don’t trust that :D
There’s a reason there’s a print line under the signature line, your signature should be some vague squiggle.
Meanwhile my signature is lying through it's teeth, while claiming I must have multiple PhDs to have the signature I have.
But I thought he was gonna do "all the jobs" ??? /s
I often wonder if anyone has compiled a list of ways to make things worse for places like this McDonald's without making things worse for the front line employees.
Sane people should boycott the "DG Empire" McDonald's. "Empire," WTF!
