Revolting McDonald’s video shows worker stuff fries in her mouth before putting them back in customer’s carton

A stomach-churning viral video appears to show a McDonald’s employee shoveling french fries in her mouth and then putting them back in a box, possibly to serve to customers — and police are investigating.

“So you want french fries today, right?” the woman says to the camera, before placing the fries in her mouth while a co-worker laughs behind her in the kitchen of the East Main Street McDonald’s in Southbridge, Mass., according to the disgusting video obtained by Boston 25 News.

The employee then puts the fries back in the box, the vile video shows. “That’s disgusting, are you kidding me?” one outraged local, Jim, told the outlet after watching the clip. “It’s not sanitary,” he said. “I’m done with this McDonald’s, at least, and I’ll be done for quite a while with fast food.”

Soon to be former employee.

[Revel]

And hopefully arrested as well.

Soon to be former employee.

Probably already is. In some jurisdictions, this is an arrestable offense.

I managed to acquire e. Coli a couple years back traveling across the midwest from McDs. It was publicized at the time. Not fun. And I don’t eat fast food too often. Road trip, convenience.

I got it a second time from a McDs in one of our Very Large Square states. This time it wasn’t publicized. I’m not sure how it happened, and they even screwed up my order. They asked me what kind of sauce I wanted for chicken tenders. I said “anything is OK, surprise me”. Yeah they sure did surprise me, with nothing. And e. Coli. Never eat at any McDonalds ever again. Too slow, the food sucks generally, and too expensive, and cleanliness/food poisoning potential. F ‘em. Very sad.

Revolting McDonald's

Enough said.

When a society degrades to the point at which people are only dissuaded from bad behavior by whether or not they think they can get away with it that society is in big trouble.

[decal]

Well, that’s one way to get low-sodium fries...

[Mogger]

Amazing, not the usual suspects.

[Secret Agent Man]

Seems like they are adopting chinese measures with food.

I don’t know where that news site got the photo of those fries, but they sure aren’t from McDonald’s. McDonald’s fries never looked that good.

I don’t eat at fast food restaurants. The only thing I ever liked at McDonald’s was their breakfast sandwiches. I worked 3-11 p.m., so was never up early enough the next morning to go. After I retired, I continued keeping the late night hours, so I am rarely up before 10:30 a.m. when McDonald’s cuts off breakfast. I was elated back when they began serving their all-day breakfast sandwiches. I’d stop and get a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and a hash brown for my supper. When the scamdemic came around, they used it as an excuse to end it. I make my own breakfast sandwiches now, and they’re just as good.

Like the old saying people can like sausage but don’t want to see how a sausage is made.

Now I’ll have to cleanse my mind of disgusting past stories of angry restaurant staff, waitstaff and fast food stories.

It’s not working....

For strictly kosher foods they have to have a Rabbi observing and checking things. I once saw a news story on it and they said people think it’s a sort of a myth where he’s not really there but symbolically approves the place, but they interviewed one and he actually watched it all.

You mean that isn’t standard procedure at McDonald’s?

[Bullish]

I’ve learned over the years that no food workers are as lazy and care less then McDonald’s workers.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Ariana Grande approves.

That wasn't the case when Ray Kroc was running things.
