"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."
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.
Or maybe they wouldn’t, given the history of infractions at that location.
Wasn’t one excuse he gives for eating at McDonalds is because he knows he won’t be poisoned? Like when he was in the White House, with a fancy ass kitchen staff full of top chefs he’d still rather get McDonald’s.
Its 100% this, altho I can’t tell if he’s more worried about the Russians or some rando he fucked over previously.
The funny thing about Mar-a-Lago is how grounded and accessible it is
I think I would trust White House staff before I would trust McDonald’s staff. I’m sure whatever McDonald’s they were ordering from was having their employees vetted anyway.
To think of it if a person was really into McDonald’s that deeply they could just send fresh ingredients every week.
Yeah we went a civil war, two world wars, and a Cold War alongside many other conflicts and 4 successful and a ton of unsuccessful assassination attempts on presidents yet to my knowledge no attempted assassinations of a US president have been via White House food
What Russians has he even fucked over?
“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.
Looks like we have photographic evidence of more health code violations. Who do we contact?
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.
Yeah I’ve watched some of those mcdonald’s shift videos and I cringe at the amount of gloves constantly being used for 3 seconds then thrown away
If you’re changing to something that needs a glove change that often, than you’re probably screwing up somewhere. You take money or wipe off counters or handle raw meat, you need to change gloves.
But washing your hands after you take off gloves, before putting another pair of gloves on?
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
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.
Plus he’s a convicted felon so probably not eligible for employment at a McDonalds.
If felons weren’t allowed in food service we’d all be going hungry
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.
“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.
Hey, they didn’t say when they proudly opened their doors to everyone. Apparently it’s not “normal working hours.”
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.
The baker here uses small thin plastic bags instead of gloves. You can get into them far quicker than any glove, you can still grab bread, rolls, and other things with it, but they are a hindrance for using the POS or handling cash, so they remove them for that.
Genius.
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?
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.
Probably for the best, honestly. You don’t want diaper leakage, Adderall, or malignant narcissism getting into people’s food.
‘Small businesses’
Signed on paper that says “DG Empire”
I’m still struggling to see what point he was trying to make.
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…
“Open our doors to everyone” that’s why we are closing them for you!
The whiplash on that was insane.
No shit.
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.
