McDonald’s Worker Seen Drying a Dirty Mop Under the French Fry Warmer: ‘McMop’

McDonald’s in Australia is feeling the heat after an employee was filmed using a heat lamp to dry a dirty cloth.

Client Debbie Barakat videotaped the incident, which happened at a restaurant in Booval, Queensland, and later shared her experience online. She recalled the events on Yahoo! News of Australia and claimed that the mop had just been used to clean the floors.

“I was just standing there waiting for my order when I looked over and heard a member of staff say, ‘I don’t think you should do that because it could be a safety issue because it can catch fire,'” the woman said Yahoo!, adding that the employee allegedly “just laughed”. Barakat claimed the workers served the fries moments later.

The incident happened on April 4, but Barakat waited more than six weeks to share the video after seeing multiple complaints about the restaurant’s location, she told Yahoo!.

“Something needs to be done as if they are happy to do something like this in front of customers what exactly are they doing behind the scenes?” she said.

McDonald’s.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s Australia did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, but said Yahoo! This was “an isolated incident”.

“McDonald’s takes food safety very seriously and follows strict cleaning, disinfection and hygiene procedures in all restaurants,” said a McDonald’s spokesperson. “We have resolved this directly with the restaurant and have conducted thorough retraining for all employees on disinfection, hygiene and food safety procedures at McDonald’s.”

Social media users were quick to joke about the video, they say New York Post. “Old McMop is back! There must be a limited time just to enter [they’re] hot,” said one commenter.
