You know you're reading a quality publication when they use an exclamation mark at least once per paragraph.
How does McDonald's corporate feel about their franchisees using McDonald's for political stunts?
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 he's a convicted felon so probably not eligible for employment at a McDonalds.
"We are not a political organization."
Well even if I believed you, which I don't, you will be now. Good job dipshit.
‘Small businesses’
Signed on paper that says "DG Empire"
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.
Probably for the best, honestly. You don't want diaper leakage, Adderall, or malignant narcissism getting into people's food.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.
You mean the ordering and serving guy that hands over your ice cream cone with no gloves?
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.

"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'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.
"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.
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.
Looks like we have photographic evidence of more health code violations. Who do we contact?
The restaurant is closed, so as long as they claim they threw away everything he touched they should be fine.
The health inspector has declared anything that is an official act no longer violates the laws of microbiology.
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
What Russians has he even fucked over?
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.
"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.
