An inspection report for the McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania cited employees not having "hands clean and properly washed."
The McDonald's restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.
The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump's visit.
Trump, a big fan of McDonald's food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were "nice and clean." According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.
Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.
And when the place gets investigated over this, the owner is going to complain that its due to his Trump support, when in reality he was just looking for a way to ignore regulations. Trump supporters always get upset when rules are applied equally to them.
I looked at the reviews, and thought it was getting review bombed with stuff like "Miserable employee at the window" and "unclean and made me sick" but then I noticed those reviews wwre from months ago.
"The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump's visit."
He didn't even get the full experience of taking actual customer orders and being told how dumb he is and the food thrown back at him because they claim to have asked for no ketchup and extra mayo and the burger had ketchup.
I have a second hand embarassment when I see anyone going off on people in service. I'm pretty sure Don is the guy who does exactly that though. And that's one another example of him (and them) not wanting to be treated like they want to treat others.
If your manager doesn't kick them out of the store, you have to make sure that burger comes out all kinds of wrong multiple times so they never come back.
That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn't going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.
You might be right, but McD Corporate also doesn't want to be in the news for enforcing such a rule.
This stunt will hit the late night talk shows this week and probably SNL next weekend, but then it will evaporate. No one really cares about this. Trump might pound his feet and throw a little tantrum to try and keep it relevant, but the election is nearly over.
I'm confident McDonald's lawyers are looking VERY closely at the restaurant just in case and determining a plan. But more than likely no one is going to remember this in 2 weeks and as long as that McDonald's makes money corporate don't care.
But, they also don't want this to happen ever again.
What I suspect is that it nothing much will happen for months. There might be a sternly worded letter that they send to the franchisee that they really intend for the public: something about how McDonalds is not supporting either party, and franchisees are not permitted to use their locations for political events. Then, months later (especially if Harris wins), they'll remove that franchise and ban the franchisee from owning a McDonalds again.
Closed to the public? So who was he there “serving” for two hours? Did he have riot police clear the facility for this photo op, like he did outside the church with the upside-down bible?
Given everything we're watching unfold, half of Americans are genuinely brainwashed fools.
No rational person of sound mind can support Trump unless they are in the tiny handful of people that will personally benefit from a Trump presidency. 99% of people will suffer, people that have any semblance of agency don't vote for that.
I'm really starting to believe that number is exceptionally lower and that the polls we are being shown are just straight up lies like the rest of the GOP.
I'm sure that's just my optimistic view tainting my thoughts but I just can't except this is real. There just can't be this many low intelligence people, right?
It only makes sense if you've been brainwashed into believing the USA is at the edge of collapse. But not due to extreme capitalism profiting some very few, extremely wealthy individuals but because migrants and woke culture are somehow destroying the religious, conservative white majority.
It's horrible but I've got to admire the brilliance of the ultra-wealthy of pitting most of us against each other while they accumulate more wealth than ever before at our expense.
So much information on everything available at our fingertips but I never imagined what social media would do to us. We are such easily manipulated monkey's that with foresight it seems obvious they would exploit it for their own gain.

Probably not endorsed by the brand, but a move by the restaurant owner. McD is a franchise, which means McD is renting the brand to a company under some rules.
If you let your dog off the leash and it proceeds to maul someone, YOU are liable, not the dog.
If McDonalds is willing to rent its brand to shit people, it's a shit brand. I don't care what the official corporate stance is if that stance isn't represented by the actual restaurants.
Trump's hate messaging is sending people away from Trump and Republicans. However lame, this is attempting to show that he can get hired for other jobs after president, implying competence and that he is unimpaired by dementia.
Looky at the jingly keys, don't look at the hippo eating democracy.
It was a campaign stunt to poke fun at Harris and to make him appear more "one of the regular joes." If you think that making it look like he could get a job at McDonald's after his presidency would somehow prove to voters he is fit for the office... Dear God political analysis is not for you.
challenging someones high school job is so wierd to. It would be so amusing to me if I was running for office and my opponent wanted to challenge that I had washed dishes in the college dorm. Um ok. whatever.
Former president pulling a publicity stunt at a McDonald's to attempt to spite his rival because they had once worked there 30+ years ago? If that isn't news in this day and age, I'm not sure what is. If you aren't interested, you can always skip to the next one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's part of a presidential political campaign. That's going to be followed even though it is a rediculously stupid performance. I'm sorry but this is news in america.
