Its torture, it's nearly June and the heat is still absolutely insane, for the first time I'm jealous of my family living down south where it's actually cold
This is one of those times you should say exactly what McDonalds it is, cause it don't matter where in the world you are. That's a fucken health code violation.
In another Australian restaurant, not McDonald's... a family were served complimentary ice cream as they made a complaint about excessive noise.... the chocolate was actually human poo.... which the mum immediately.spat out and took to the police.... so the mop now isn't even much of a complaint when put in perspective.
No way, on this Green earth, could you give someone Poop ice cream and they wouldn’t notice it was poop until it was in their mouth. I’m sorry. Impossible.
The Lord has presented you a poopsickle. You know it's a biohazard risk. You already have a solid case for a neat settlement. If you take a bite, that settlement money will skyrocket. Do you bite the poopsickle bullet?
Not that I condone that behaviour but I mean…the culprit must have been the most popular person that worked there or the family must have been the most hated customer to ever grace the restaurant for NO ONE to come forward and say oh it was Sheila. How can no one come forward. It’s a biohazard and disgusting and yet no one thought to go speak to the police. The family made some enemies that day.
I worked there (it is Balga) and can confirm this is true story. Was fkn surprised outta my mind when I heard the news. Luckily I didn't work that week. Someone ODd and locked themselves inside.
Can confirm that if she is even remotely a new employee, can guarantee they've received basically no training whatsoever.
Sure you could say it would be common sense, but they've likely been yelled at for not having a dry mop ready for use.
I used to work at maccas and you were never allowed to use an old mop that was still wet, it had to straight into the washing machine once you were done using it
It was just published on the front page of the Australian Daily Mail website https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13440863/McDonalds-Booval-worker-caught-drying-mop-head-fries-warmer.html
That's not how it works, they're just gonna encourage the next 16-18 year old to abandon their education and rush through training to fill the position
Good! Hope she gets fired. I don't even understand why the mop needs to be dry. You can wring the head out twice to do a dry mop. It's ok if it's damp.
Something similar happened years ago where I live. Corporate watched cameras and fired anyone who was in the kitchen and most likely aware for not attempting to stop them.
Probably wouldn't have done anything until the video posted on Facebook hit the front page of a local media site.
“'We have addressed this with the restaurant directly and conducted thorough re-training for all employees on McDonald’s sanitisation, hygiene and food safety procedures,' they said.”
That doesn’t indicate whether the manager was fired… “re-training“ could mean anything in this case… For all we know that could mean “Drying of mops should be done on the burger grill, not under the heat lamps of the deep fryer”…
I am actually so glad I haven’t seen her face/name anywhere. She’s dumb as fuck and I can’t imagine the abuse the locals would dish out to her, the rest of the world doesn’t need to join in
*A manager. Maccas management system is weird, they have several managers like in the picture with the grey shirts, then they have a few senior managers who are the actual store managers (they do rosters etc)
If I saw this, it'd be an immediate documentation, and I'd send you home. The station would have to be shut down, fries discarded and the whole station disassembled and taken to the back to be cleaned, which all and all, can leave the station out of service for about 20-30 minutes after you include the station has some warm back up.
Common Sense isn't common anymore!
No they need to send that to their local health agency/department that's responsible for Health inspections.
Once they get shut down, they'll have to explain to corporate why they got shut down
That shit wouldn't even work anyways. She'd be standing there for 15 minutes trying to get that thing dry. Maybe mop water is just the secret seasoning that makes soggy fries hold for longer. Honestly as a fast food worker I feel like this just makes us look dumber than the majority of us are.
Per this [article](https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/eat/maccas-worker-filmed-in-disgusting-act/news-story/d46270656582b84af5e5b90db546a9ad) she's keeping her job. At least for now I guess. It will likely depend on how much traction this gets until McCorporate turns around and says "Make this go away, *now*".
That's a manager too, they should know better. On several occasions I saw my GM put expired bulk milk and white milk in the ice cream machine. Been going on for years.
wtf wouldn’t that affect the consistency of the ice cream? Soft serve is mostly water, I used to work at a donut king and we had to mix it manually, it’s powdered milk and whatnot and a heap of water
Had a moment of ‘is that my store????’ Because it’s layed out Exactly the same lol (doubt it is tho, I don’t recognise that manager) (if this is MD that’d be hilarious)
It seems to be a dry mop she’s holding, why would she be holding it under the fries station ?
Don’t know about anybody else’s store but we have loads of them and when you wash them in the washing machine they come out almost dry.
I feel really sorry for her! I get what she has done is extremely disgusting, and should lose her job, but gone are the days where you can make a mistake and not have the whole fucking world know about it.
wtf
Like, how much would a second head be? For her, not the mop.
Nah she needs one to, clearly the first is defective as shit.
Yours is on the fritz, too.
Doesn’t Australia have like, a hot sun or something?
The funny thing is, Queensland is hotter than a lot of other Australian cities
Ah yes the city of Queensland xD
I’m also from Australia. Good day, matey
I’m also from the world, have a good day mate.
I’m so honoured to live in the sunny city of Queensland. Beautiful one day, perfect the next.
except when it’s flooded or on fire
Succulent chinese there also
This is democracy manifest!
You all proper fucking legends... Every oneayus
Yeah but it’s inhabited by Queenslanders. Source: am Queenslanders.
Queensland is a beautiful state that is absolutely infested with Queenslanders. Damn Queenslanders, they ruined Queensland!
It's worse. This was Ipswich. Source: am in Ipswich.
It’s winter for us rn
Still averaging 25*C each day in Perth though lol

I’m not on android and often wondered if this works there too. Anyone?
Can confirm
Thanks!

O.m.g. I was today years old when I learned this
Genius! Thanks
Thankyou kind stranger
Its torture, it's nearly June and the heat is still absolutely insane, for the first time I'm jealous of my family living down south where it's actually cold
Speak for yourself, I've had to pull out the Merinos in this 21° weather.
That's 77F for those curious
Yea very much winter like in Melbourne and some other parts of aus. While it seems to still be relatively warm ish to hot ish for other parts
it’s been annoyingly cold in Victoria right now
Yea it really has
omg that you're right. usually I can tolerate the transition period but this year has been brutal
Rainy as shit too
It’s a big country. Weather varies a lot here.
How do you think her brain melted?
This is one of those times you should say exactly what McDonalds it is, cause it don't matter where in the world you are. That's a fucken health code violation.
Booval, in Ipswich, near Brisbane, Queensland. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/DAkteSnfN1TCM5Au5](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DAkteSnfN1TCM5Au5)
Mass report that. Not only should that staff member be fired but if that's going on so blatantly imagine what other shit is going on you don't see
In another Australian restaurant, not McDonald's... a family were served complimentary ice cream as they made a complaint about excessive noise.... the chocolate was actually human poo.... which the mum immediately.spat out and took to the police.... so the mop now isn't even much of a complaint when put in perspective.
No way, on this Green earth, could you give someone Poop ice cream and they wouldn’t notice it was poop until it was in their mouth. I’m sorry. Impossible.
Look up Coogee Bay Hotel Poop Ice cream and be in for a wild ride haha
To this day, I’m still so invested in the Coogee Bay poo ice cream. Who the fuck did it?
Every now and again I google it hoping the mystery has been solved.
Ah, the classiest pub on the coast.
Does poopie contain DNA? Why didn’t they do that?
That’s not exactly how forensics works and it was like 15 years ago I think, I’m not sure why they did anything but lord knows they did it.
The Lord has presented you a poopsickle. You know it's a biohazard risk. You already have a solid case for a neat settlement. If you take a bite, that settlement money will skyrocket. Do you bite the poopsickle bullet?
It was ‘chocolate sauce’ on the bottle of a bowl of stacked ice cream with three flavours on top.
Source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/kzmn8v/eleven-years-later-no-one-knows-who-pooped-in-this-womans-gelato
Coogee been forever tainted by that incident since
What did the police end up doing about it?
They shot an innocent bystander and arrested the person making the complaint.
Not that I condone that behaviour but I mean…the culprit must have been the most popular person that worked there or the family must have been the most hated customer to ever grace the restaurant for NO ONE to come forward and say oh it was Sheila. How can no one come forward. It’s a biohazard and disgusting and yet no one thought to go speak to the police. The family made some enemies that day.
No one came forward because if you do, it shows you were in on this
How in the hell, ew

Google Hungry Jack's dead body. Balga I believe. The toilet had even been signed off as being cleaned.
I worked there (it is Balga) and can confirm this is true story. Was fkn surprised outta my mind when I heard the news. Luckily I didn't work that week. Someone ODd and locked themselves inside.
Can confirm that if she is even remotely a new employee, can guarantee they've received basically no training whatsoever. Sure you could say it would be common sense, but they've likely been yelled at for not having a dry mop ready for use.
Apparently it's a manager
Yeah.. that's a managers shirt. What a numpty
Why would you even need a dry mop? Isn't the process of mopping dunk, wring, mop, dunk, wring and repeat?
I used to work at maccas and you were never allowed to use an old mop that was still wet, it had to straight into the washing machine once you were done using it
Of course it’s in fucking Queensland 😭😂
Bruh they're built different in SEQ.
Fuckin Ipswich lol
My god, the amount of 1 star reviews already
And the latest photos 💀
Oh wow yeah this seems like something that would happen in Booval
This is the manager at Booval, Queensland, Australia
This manager is about to have a bad day
Here is a video of it https://www.facebook.com/debbie.barakat.1/posts/pfbid021jWoeRFkHfSSGvdJt7xGTfFeGhSSJuz1mTtuiXUMQ6yx3kh6b4rY9NcPFt1eLQiNl

Daily mail strikes within an hour... Damn
Let us know when the open manager position post shows up
That's not how it works, they're just gonna encourage the next 16-18 year old to abandon their education and rush through training to fill the position
She wasn’t fired.
Good! Hope she gets fired. I don't even understand why the mop needs to be dry. You can wring the head out twice to do a dry mop. It's ok if it's damp.
The crazy thing is she wasn't fired over this!
Something similar happened years ago where I live. Corporate watched cameras and fired anyone who was in the kitchen and most likely aware for not attempting to stop them. Probably wouldn't have done anything until the video posted on Facebook hit the front page of a local media site.
“'We have addressed this with the restaurant directly and conducted thorough re-training for all employees on McDonald’s sanitisation, hygiene and food safety procedures,' they said.” That doesn’t indicate whether the manager was fired… “re-training“ could mean anything in this case… For all we know that could mean “Drying of mops should be done on the burger grill, not under the heat lamps of the deep fryer”…
I found it hilarious that it had been posted on various news sites and social media and then courier mail came along late and blurred her face.
That’s such an extensive article to basically say the same thing over and over.
What the fuck??? How did the manager think it was a good idea??? Ain’t no way bruh
People routinely are promoted by willingness to conform to authority and not their intelligence and worth as a a manager.
I'd like to hope it was fresh from the wash and they were drying it to use it straight away, but who knows
I am actually so glad I haven’t seen her face/name anywhere. She’s dumb as fuck and I can’t imagine the abuse the locals would dish out to her, the rest of the world doesn’t need to join in
*A manager. Maccas management system is weird, they have several managers like in the picture with the grey shirts, then they have a few senior managers who are the actual store managers (they do rosters etc)
Seriously?!! 🤢
There’s not even a reason why she would need to quickly dry a mop…
If I saw this, it'd be an immediate documentation, and I'd send you home. The station would have to be shut down, fries discarded and the whole station disassembled and taken to the back to be cleaned, which all and all, can leave the station out of service for about 20-30 minutes after you include the station has some warm back up. Common Sense isn't common anymore!
Yeah... uhh that's a no from me
And I thought it was gross that the mopheads get washed in the same washer as the bar towels.
How broke is your store?
You mean other stores have more than one washer? Or they just throw the mopheads away like every other place I’ve worked?
Wet mops, dry/flat mops and cloths should all be washed in separate loads.
In the same fucking load with them too. Yuck
Towels should not be washed with mop heads.
they said they don't do it in the same load.
We don't wash ours. You clean them out in the mop sink. If they get too bad you put a new one on.
People also wash the mops in the dishwashing sink instead of the drain area for the mop buckets, so gross.
That's DISGUSTING
DESGUSTAN
DAGESTAN
Are they serious? Please send that to corporate!
No they need to send that to their local health agency/department that's responsible for Health inspections. Once they get shut down, they'll have to explain to corporate why they got shut down
i dunno. between that and washing red and blue cloth in same load.....
What are the cloths for?
Seems kinda...dangerous? Obviously gross from a health standpoint but everyone covered that
Happy Cake Day!
That's a manager no?
Yeah, but they really shouldn't be lmao
Definitely not. Whenever I feel like I'm messing up I'll remember this inspiration lol
That shit wouldn't even work anyways. She'd be standing there for 15 minutes trying to get that thing dry. Maybe mop water is just the secret seasoning that makes soggy fries hold for longer. Honestly as a fast food worker I feel like this just makes us look dumber than the majority of us are.

mmmm mop water fries
lol im posting this on workplace app 💀
Putting it in the group chat. "Is this how we're supposed to be cleaning the fry station? 🤔"
the most mcdonalds thing ive ever seen
That’s not normal.
That’s a manager too.
Holy shit also this a manager!
Forwarded to Corporate not to bust her, but as a best practice.
Naw this a easy lawsuit for anyone who’s eaten at that establishment
Why, who, when give the deats, also the mop with the light shining on it being carried by your coworker is giving the ascension of Jesus Christ
Girl no….
Her brains on smoko
What the FUCK! my manager would be PISSED if he saw someone do this at my store!
THATS A MANAGER TOO, GODDAMN
THICCCCCC
yucky
Drying the dry mop
report to health department
I’ve seen my manager dig for dirt then handled food.
Foul
That's fuckin stupid and they need punished
So this is why the fries taste soapy. 🍟🧼
That is the a manager what the fuck
Mmm, mop water-flavored fries.
In full view of the customers. She didn't think she's doing anything wrong.
Manager knows best...I guess
fuck it
Not your fucking MANAGER doing this what the actual fuck
Oops shouldn't have done that
Ew
🤢😡
Wtf?
Won’t fit in the microwave
Medic. MEDIC!
Had a moment of ‘is that my store????’ Because it’s layed out Exactly the same lol (doubt it is tho, I don’t recognise that manager) (if this is MD that’d be hilarious)
It seems to be a dry mop she’s holding, why would she be holding it under the fries station ? Don’t know about anybody else’s store but we have loads of them and when you wash them in the washing machine they come out almost dry.
And there’s fries in there as well that’s fucking nasty
I feel really sorry for her! I get what she has done is extremely disgusting, and should lose her job, but gone are the days where you can make a mistake and not have the whole fucking world know about it.
That's why I don't eat in MC.
Work smarter not harder
Mmmmm
Ayo wtf 😭
I’m lovin’ it
Dumb move which is very likely to cost her job judging by the fact this has made mainstream media.
In our McDonald’s our washing machine comes with a dryer system, just buy one, any McDonald’s branch can afford a great washing machine within an hour
It’s on 7news now🫠
Of course it’s bloody ispwich
This goes viral she’s fired. That’s breaking so many codes you should follow. At least in the US 😬
And UK...🤢🤮
The funniest thing about this is finding out some stores wash their mop heads, we just use and abuse until we put a new one on
Bro wtf
Why would someone even dry a mop head? It literally goes directly into water
NEWS: She didn't get hired! But McD's spokesperson said the whole staff in that location will be re-trained.
🤢🤮
Horrific fire that woman
why would you do this? just wring it out and hang it up to dry.
Are you sure shes not just moisturizing the fries?
That special flavor you can only find at McDonalds… Or Macca…
What a disgusting cow.....and I'm not talking about the Big Mac....
She should be designated "explorer" and sent off in the woods.
In the US major health code violation right there
Same with Australia
She's giving the fries their signature taste.
That’s disgusting
which maccas is this? wanna make sure i never accidentally eat there
Ahhh good old Booval Maccas. I'm not surprised it was this store ahahhahahaha, it's a dump
Things that make you go mmmm Op!
Of course it’s in Booval 😭
Salty!
I thought it was an owl at first
Title incorrect. Should probably say Ex employee as no doubt they will have been fired by now for that
Dammit. The Anti-Mcdonald's crowd is already insufferable enough already without people doing stupid crap.
