McDonald’s workers roast Trump over ‘insulting cosplay’ stunt at restaurant that failed health inspection (www.independent.co.uk)

Trump sported neither gloves not a hair net as he worked at a branch of the fast food chain in Pennsylvania

...

Earlier this year, this location didn't meet the compliance requirements of the Bucks County Health Department. A health inspection in March at the Feasterville-Trevose location resulted in four violations, including citing employees not having their "hands clean & properly washed."

"Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils. CFSM must review hand washing requirements with staff. Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in-between," the health inspector wrote.

The report also noted a lack of hairnets: "Food workers are not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food. Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, that are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles."

When I worked at McDonald’s pretty much everyone wore hats but I will admit I didn’t always wash hands in between gloves with how dry it often made them. I will say that from the article that hat the guy is wearing is a genuine joke and he definitely should be covering that inch long beard

Good for the workers.

It's a good thing that we are focusing on this and that the fact that he says he'll skull fuck Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff if he gets in office (or whatever).

I've worked in MacDonald and this one is bullshit. Every time you use the grill you handle raw, frozen, patties with the glove. Of you were you wash the hands every time your skin would fall of after one day.

Also, the point of the glove is to not contaminate the hand. What's the need for washing between uses?

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

you might touch the outside of the glove with your hand while don/doffing it, so the washing between glove changes is to prevent cross contamination.

Or, if the gloves break.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

Every round of the grill (8 patties) there's a glove put and removed. Nobody is washing the hands.

If it breaks sure, but that is an entirely different topic.

Nobody believes that trump is capable of working a shift at mcdonalds. This was just a reaction to Kamala mentioning mcdonalds once, and trump the dancing monkey leaps at the bait like a fool. She is playing him like a cheap fiddle.
