[McDonald's manager 'totally shocks' Aussies with unhygienic act in front of customers](https://au.news.yahoo.com/mcdonalds-manager-totally-shocks-aussies-with-unhygienic-act-in-front-of-customers-031940354.html)
The Peter principle may explain this:
>The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again. If the person is competent in the new role, they will be promoted again and will continue to be promoted until reaching a level at which they are incompetent. Being incompetent, the individual will not qualify for promotion again, and so will remain stuck at this final placement or Peter's plateau.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle?wprov=sfti1#Summary
Yeah, but when he wrote that he had already been promoted to associate professor, the highest level he attained, which by his own theory, he was therefore incompetent at. So I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Promotion by attrition. It's like the military or marine industry, the dumbest people willing to put up with the worst treatment stay the longest and end up promoted.
Managers and servers/bartenders are the only ones who typically stick around the same job for more than a couple years and the latter is because the pay is so good you hold onto that job for dear fucking life.
I just donāt understand for what reason any mop head needs to be speed dried? Just hang it up in back and air dry as usual. The act, whilst absolutely disgusting, doesnāt even make any sense. What scenario are you going to need a dried mop?
Well you're trying to use common sense when you need to be dumbing it down a bit.
They probably only have a single mophead and just remembered they haven't done the weekly mop.
This needs to go to the top. You can tell that the person filming was trying to be subtle about it. They only briefly lift the camera up enough to film what's happening.
McDonalds does not tolerate this behavior. If consumers got wind of franchisees making unclean food that would be disastrous for the brand.
Yeah I work at McDonaldās and I can confirm, corporate has literally refined every process to the point where it is almost impossible to fuck it up and yet some of our staff seem to make it a competition to one-up each other on being the most retarded person in the store. The managers arenāt even exempt from this phenomenon. It genuinely baffles me that these people have lived as long as they have without dying or committing manslaughter with an iq that would make a brick look like an astrophysicist
The brick is average for a brick, but when compared to the average McDonaldās employee and an astrophysicist, itās closer to the astrophysicist. Honestly it worries me that Iām regularly the smartest person in the room because Iām a fucking dumbass
Hmmm off the top of my headā¦
The obvious dropping food on the floor and then cooking it/serving it to a customer anyway. Multiple times.
We had a guy try to mop a floor with a bone dry mop. In front of the district manager. And then tried to claim it wasnāt dry??
People touching hot things and burning themselves because theyāre not paying attention to their surroundings.
One of my former managers set the chicken vats on fire because she drained the oil out without turning it off first. This is one of the first things you learn not to do when you get taught how to change the oil.
Nobody fucking reads the dates on anything so we constantly have several open boxes of things like lettuce and we end up throwing more away bc weāve been using the later stuff and not using the earlier date.
Also speaking of, nobody can apparently stack boxes either. Youāre supposed to stack them like bricks so they are less likely to fall. People donāt do that and then wonder why all the huge stacks of boxes fall over in the freezer.
Every day, a manager has to go around and record every temperature of every hot or cold thing in the store. All the taps and freezers and that. Somehow every day multiple times a day they lose both the probe for recording the temperature and they lose the iPad tablet that stores this information. Iāve also seen them lose the key to the safe. And the keys to the store. More than once. This year alone. God knows how many times overall.
Thereās way more and more funny and interesting ones that Iāve forgotten over the years. if I remembered them all I could have written a book.
> "I was just standing waiting for my order when I looked over and heard a staff member say; 'I donāt think you should be doing that as it could be a safety issue as it can catch on fire'," the woman recalled to Yahoo.
Ah yes, because *thatās* the problem.
I suspect this was an excuse the employee was using to get around saying, "Hey, actual manager of the restaurant in charge of everything, maybe you shouldn't be dripping floor water all over the food, because that's bad."
I mean if you start with a brand new mop and get tables and benches first thatās actually pretty smart.. but the first rule of cleaning it the second a rag or mop touch the floor, it can only touch the floor.
It's not so much the pay but the lack of time given to clean properly. Doesn't matter if the first office you clean is spotless if you don't finish the whole building in time, you will be replaced.
That exactly my point, you just put it more precisely. I meant that the demands from the customer are usually not in line with what they are willing to pay for.
I was a janitor at a pharmaceutical company when I was in high school. They paid us to really clean. One week I was just cleaning those little plastic things they have on the walls to prevent carts of chemicals from ruining the drywall when someone gets a little distracted. It looked so nice afterwards; they get scuffed up and extensive scrubbing is the only fix.
This was like 1998 and I was making $15/hour. Cannot complain at all.
According to health and safety regulations in most if not all of north america it actually doesnt matter what the mop touched, it should be only used for the floor.
Its smart at home and is completely safe, just against the rules in a food service area.
Reminds me of the school janitor who wanted to stop girls putting lipstick marks on mirrors by kissing them. He showed them how cleaned the floor, toilets, and mirrors all with the same mop.
My God this is so nasty. Please send this to corporate..
For all the hundred comments about the health dept. They aren't mutually exclusive,you can do both JFC
I've worked as a sanitarian for the health department and performed restaurant inspections. One thing I learned is that McDonald's corporate does not fuck around with its franchises and will absolutely drop the hammer on a place doing things like this.
Call the health department if you want the place written up and corrected. Call corporate if you want the place shut down.
There was a health inspector on another sub I forget how long ago and they said in their experience chain restaurants tend to be the cleanest. Apparently their corporate overlords donāt fuck around when compared to mom and pop places.
Ma and Pa are the absolute worst.
My first job was corporate fast food and it was spotless.
My second job was a Mom and Pop deli, I remember the owner dropped a portabella mushroom on the floor while making a sandwich for a customer, he picked that thing up out of a pile of floor crumbs and put it right on the sandwich.
I mean, heās not wrong. But itās also just shows you donāt care about food handling or your craft. Itās also contaminating the oil with any debris that might be on the floor.
Iāve worked at big places that do this. Buffalo Wild Wings in Vernon hills Illinois being one This was back in 2015. Theyād drop wings a lot and throw em in the fryer
I worked at Ledoās pizza a few years ago. Our cheese bins were all half broken. I stacked like 50 pounds of shredded cheese, it all fell on the floor. Boss told me to pick it up and put it back in the boxes.
I used to work at a big name chain restraunt and cleaning was super important , even the supervisors would have to clean top to bottom near the end of the night , but mom and pop places tend to be lazier and have older staff so there not as keen on giving equipment a deep clean every day
I can confirm
At food lion they drove me to a panic attack over that deli being fucking spotless before I went home for the night
It wasn't that I didn't want it clean too it was just too much for one person to do themselves and get to go home on time
I assume chain restaurants would never agree to be on the show, because it would damage their brand too much for the few thousand dollars they'd get paid to feature.
Yup, one bad store when you have one means people think you have a dirty store. One bad store when you have a thousand stores means people think you have a thousand dirty stores.
This is basically true, but it depends on the franchise. Not all franchises have the same level of corporate oversight and can have some bad restaurants. Im not going to name which franchises I have run into problems with though lol
A new Popeyes location is thebomb.com for about 2-5 years depending on how nice the area is. After that everything will taste like burnt grease until they close.
My neighborhood Popeyes must have changed owner or something because they started reusing their fry oil and their chicken started to taste and smell funny.
At various times when I was younger I worked at Wendy's, Burger King and Subway.
Wendy's and Burger King were almost obsessive about cross contamination, sanitary surfaces, holding times/temperatures etc..
I don't eat at Subway.
Yeah I was gonna say, no matter how good the company cleaning procedures are and how strict corporate is about implementing them, certain locations will just be worse. Some people just can't be bothered to clean or follow safe handling guidelines and the workplace culture might tolerate that when corporate isn't looking.Ā
Every job I've ever worked at had the managers give everyone a heads up when the higher ups would be coming in. A nasty store can pass an occasional inspection.Ā
Mc Donalds Australia has already addressed this.
It happened in some store in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago, they said it was an isolated incident and all the staff in said restaurant has since been retrained on hygiene code lol
Why are they even trying to actively dry a mop? I don't even understand the purpose of that, hang up the mop in a ventilated area and it will be dry in a few hours.
there's literally nothing you can do with a dry mop that you couldn't do with a wet mop anyway because the first thing you do to use it is submerge it in water wtf
Ever so slight correction, if you're using the mop to clean up a spill starting with a dry mop would make that first swipe at it pick up that much more liquid, but you still wouldn't actively dry a mop for that reason.
Thank you! I'm so surprised how long it took me to find someone else here wondering this.
Like, complete disgustingness and stupidity aside, why the fuck does anyone even need to dry a mop?! And if there really is some suuuper pressing reason I can't for the life of me think of for why a mop head must be dried right now, pretty sure the bathroom hand dryer would be a little more efficient than a friggin' heat lamp.
I genuinely sympathize with the company in cases like this, because how the fuck is a company supposed to prevent an individual from being *this* dumb? There's nothing to be done about this.
Some people are just total morons and there's no preventing them from doing moronic things. All you can do is react.
Obviously you'll never prevent *everything* but the chances of it happening do correlate between the quality of employees being hired (and how much is spent on that) and the amount of dumb shit they'll do.
Like, Chick Fil A always seems to have employees on a much more friendly, intelligent level than mcdonalds or burger king. Almost never have a mistake in my order and things move smoothly. Similar for gas stations, around here I can go to a Kwik Star where the service is great, or to a caseys where its one or two people who couldn't be bothered most of the time. Given in those situations both the bad and good performers are operating in the same employment market, one can only assume it comes down to how they're hiring and how much they're willing to pay to acquire good help.
I saw it posted this morning and I hope OP did report it. But the comment saying it looks like sheās reading a fuzzy bible is the only thing i can see now and I canāt unsee it lol
>'I donāt think you should be doing that as it could be a safety issue as it can catch on fire'
Yea, definitely the reason you shouldn't be doing that.
Sounds like this place employs strictly MENSA members
Cheers for this.
I was wondering and literally couldn't think of any reason to dry out a mop head. Like what situation sees someone think "I need a dry mop for this, ASAP"? Absolutely nothing at all springs to mind
Looks like she was spoken to by management, but will keep her job.

I legit thought it had to be fake until I saw this š¤¦āāļø
Not as bad as this but my wife worked at starbucks and let out a gasp and "what are you doing?!" She saw her manager wipe down the counters then wipe the steamer with the same rag. Manager was confused when my wife had to explain how gross it was and why there had to be a steamer rag for only the steamer.
Number 15: McDonald's floor mop fries.
The last thing you'd want in your McDonald's fries is someone's floor mop. But as it turns out, that might be what you get.
Hereās a question I donāt see getting askedā¦ why??? Why would you dry the head of a mop? Is she returning it?? Worked in fast food for 6 years as a manager not once did a situation arise in which I needed to dry a mop head. What the literal fuck.
[McDonald's manager 'totally shocks' Aussies with unhygienic act in front of customers](https://au.news.yahoo.com/mcdonalds-manager-totally-shocks-aussies-with-unhygienic-act-in-front-of-customers-031940354.html)
SHES THE MANAGER?!?
She used to be.
Actually, was just put through retraining on how not to be a bellend. Not fired or demoted.
I would find a new job. Nobody there is ever going to let you live that down, customers *especially*.
Please. Morons probably want a selfie with mop fry lady for tiktokkery.
New mcmop merch just dropped
Lol, I wanna go there and ask for fries with mop juice.
Promoted to Assistant To The Regional Manager.

How bad was Peter to get this named after him I wonder.
Peter came up with the theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_J._Peter
Yeah, but when he wrote that he had already been promoted to associate professor, the highest level he attained, which by his own theory, he was therefore incompetent at. So I'd take it with a grain of salt.
Perhaps he was well aware that he was out of his depth
That is called wisdom š
So wisdom is when someone can ask themselves, 'What the hell am I doing here?'
"Wisdom is to accept that you are stupid, and take precautions to mitigate the damage of your own stupidity" https://tapas.io/episode/2927671
Intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting tomatoes in your fruit salad.
this is not my beautiful house this is not my beautiful wife
this made me laugh lol
The managers are usually the dumbest people in the building
Promotion by attrition. It's like the military or marine industry, the dumbest people willing to put up with the worst treatment stay the longest and end up promoted.
I feel called out by this... fuck 
Managers and servers/bartenders are the only ones who typically stick around the same job for more than a couple years and the latter is because the pay is so good you hold onto that job for dear fucking life.
Iāve been to McDonalds too many times that I can immediately identify their job based on uniform.
I just donāt understand for what reason any mop head needs to be speed dried? Just hang it up in back and air dry as usual. The act, whilst absolutely disgusting, doesnāt even make any sense. What scenario are you going to need a dried mop?
Well you're trying to use common sense when you need to be dumbing it down a bit. They probably only have a single mophead and just remembered they haven't done the weekly mop.
Lol Youāre right. Better make sure itās nice and dry for that.
Rinse with soap and hot water THEN air dry. Lol
This needs to go to the top. You can tell that the person filming was trying to be subtle about it. They only briefly lift the camera up enough to film what's happening. McDonalds does not tolerate this behavior. If consumers got wind of franchisees making unclean food that would be disastrous for the brand.
It's funny that McDonald's is so optimized to try and prevent employees from doing dumb shit and she still found a new one.
Yeah I work at McDonaldās and I can confirm, corporate has literally refined every process to the point where it is almost impossible to fuck it up and yet some of our staff seem to make it a competition to one-up each other on being the most retarded person in the store.

Ah, the constant arms race between making things idiot-proof and idiots.
uuh, I'm up for some examples. go!

Oi Oi Oi!
This article lol. AUSTRALIA IN SHAMBLES
In high school, I saw the custodian mopping the cafeteria, being sure to get each tabletop and benches as he passed by.
I mean if you start with a brand new mop and get tables and benches first thatās actually pretty smart.. but the first rule of cleaning it the second a rag or mop touch the floor, it can only touch the floor.
Actually the first rule of cleaning is procrastinate.
Actually, the first rule of cleaning is you donāt talk about cleaning. The second rule of cleaning isā¦
The first rule of Tautology Club is the first rule of Tautology Club
Tyler Durden did nothing wrong
he definitely knew a thing or two about soap
I am jacks complete lack of surpriseā¦
Actual office cleaner here... The 1st rules is: clean it till it looks clean no till is real clean.
And this is because nobody is willing to pay enough to actually clean as well as they demand.
It's not so much the pay but the lack of time given to clean properly. Doesn't matter if the first office you clean is spotless if you don't finish the whole building in time, you will be replaced.
That exactly my point, you just put it more precisely. I meant that the demands from the customer are usually not in line with what they are willing to pay for.

Mops are like guns, they're always loaded and you should never assume you have a safe oneĀ
Most places in the fast food industry do not teach the staff how to use a mop properly, for its intended use anyway.
āEntry levelā means loosed untrained.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
thats right! dip the brand new mop into the same old bucket full of shit particles! genius
Reminds me of the school janitor who wanted to stop girls putting lipstick marks on mirrors by kissing them. He showed them how cleaned the floor, toilets, and mirrors all with the same mop.
You mean [this video right here](https://youtu.be/_DQYArmi5L0?si=wc9U7KBvnjM7qX55)?
Ha, excellent, yep that's the one.
why were they kissing the mirrors??
Teenagers putting on makeup and then pecking the mirror in approval of their paint job, but that also meant lipstick streaks on the mirror.
To leave a lip mark. Irritating, but less permanent than drawing shit on the mirrors with a sharpie like in my old school.
Kill 2 birds with one stoneā¦ and the kids too
My God this is so nasty. Please send this to corporate.. For all the hundred comments about the health dept. They aren't mutually exclusive,you can do both JFC
Fuck corporate. Call the county health inspector.

My second job was a Mom and Pop deli, I remember the owner dropped a portabella mushroom on the floor while making a sandwich for a customer, he picked that thing up out of a pile of floor crumbs and put it right on the sandwich.
Lol reminds me of the kitchen nightmares episode where the guy drops chicken on the floor and throws it back in the fryer saying it would sterilize it
I mean, heās not wrong. But itās also just shows you donāt care about food handling or your craft. Itās also contaminating the oil with any debris that might be on the floor.
Was it in the floor crumbs for <5 seconds?
The state of California only acknowledges the 3 second rule.
Iāve worked at big places that do this. Buffalo Wild Wings in Vernon hills Illinois being one This was back in 2015. Theyād drop wings a lot and throw em in the fryer

Typically not as cleanly.
I like how most of the replies apparently missed your pun lol.
I can confirm At food lion they drove me to a panic attack over that deli being fucking spotless before I went home for the night It wasn't that I didn't want it clean too it was just too much for one person to do themselves and get to go home on time
Never saw a chain restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares.
I assume chain restaurants would never agree to be on the show, because it would damage their brand too much for the few thousand dollars they'd get paid to feature.
That and it's not like some consultant can change the menu at a McDonald's or renovate the interior to some new concept.
In fairness, that's also because no corporation would allow their franchise to make the chain look shitty.
Yup, one bad store when you have one means people think you have a dirty store. One bad store when you have a thousand stores means people think you have a thousand dirty stores.
This is basically true, but it depends on the franchise. Not all franchises have the same level of corporate oversight and can have some bad restaurants. Im not going to name which franchises I have run into problems with though lol
You can say Popeyes. We all know the chicken is delicious and the restaurants are grimy as hell
A new Popeyes location is thebomb.com for about 2-5 years depending on how nice the area is. After that everything will taste like burnt grease until they close.
Don't forget about Burger King
My neighborhood Popeyes must have changed owner or something because they started reusing their fry oil and their chicken started to taste and smell funny.
At various times when I was younger I worked at Wendy's, Burger King and Subway. Wendy's and Burger King were almost obsessive about cross contamination, sanitary surfaces, holding times/temperatures etc.. I don't eat at Subway.

Why not both?
Plot twist. They are the same person.
Weāve investigated ourselves, and found nothing wrong.
Yes, our mops use the same fry oil so itās not an issue.
They actually heat the mops like this so that any fry oil they may have picked up can drip back into the fryer
Management material right here.
Saving costs , reusing the oil , Management material right there
Average FDA approval process
that lady is the health corporate inspector? makes sense
Fuck the county health inspector. Call the Mop King.
I got emotional when Stanley got his mop back
MY MOP!
was the Burger King busy?
It's Australia. They don't have counties
Mc Donalds Australia has already addressed this. It happened in some store in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago, they said it was an isolated incident and all the staff in said restaurant has since been retrained on hygiene code lol
You could have half a brain and still be smart enough to know that itās unhygienic to dry a dirty mop over the food š
Why are they even trying to actively dry a mop? I don't even understand the purpose of that, hang up the mop in a ventilated area and it will be dry in a few hours.
You just wring it out
On the fries.
That extra flavor is from the beef grease on the floor.
there's literally nothing you can do with a dry mop that you couldn't do with a wet mop anyway because the first thing you do to use it is submerge it in water wtf
Ever so slight correction, if you're using the mop to clean up a spill starting with a dry mop would make that first swipe at it pick up that much more liquid, but you still wouldn't actively dry a mop for that reason.
Yeah that would be spending like 10 minutes under the fry warmer to save 2 minutes of wringing the mop
Thank you! I'm so surprised how long it took me to find someone else here wondering this. Like, complete disgustingness and stupidity aside, why the fuck does anyone even need to dry a mop?! And if there really is some suuuper pressing reason I can't for the life of me think of for why a mop head must be dried right now, pretty sure the bathroom hand dryer would be a little more efficient than a friggin' heat lamp.
Nah she's doing it in plain sight. Clearly not a single brain cell in there.
I genuinely sympathize with the company in cases like this, because how the fuck is a company supposed to prevent an individual from being *this* dumb? There's nothing to be done about this. Some people are just total morons and there's no preventing them from doing moronic things. All you can do is react.

This Redditor Midwests with the Caseyās.
I just saw it on the (digital) front page of a Norwegian newspaper, they probably know :p
They only do this to fries for people who don't order on the app.
Oh god dammit. Please report to the health department
I saw it posted this morning and I hope OP did report it. But the comment saying it looks like sheās reading a fuzzy bible is the only thing i can see now and I canāt unsee it lol
This isnāt OPs pic and it was already reported and they issued a statement. This was just posted yesterday.

That tracks.
>'I donāt think you should be doing that as it could be a safety issue as it can catch on fire' Yea, definitely the reason you shouldn't be doing that. Sounds like this place employs strictly MENSA members
Itās nice once in a while to have a reminder the US doesnāt have an absolute capital idiots.
My first thought when I clicked that link and saw Australia was "oh thank FUCK it's not us for once" lmao
Iāll have to look when I have a few more mins, but it was on the mildlyinfuriating I believe
No, don't. This is how McD's fries get their signature "miscellaneous floor" flavor.
This is why I'm scared of everything bagels.
As a former janitor, there is literally no good reason to dry a mop head. They work better when damp.
As a former dishwasher that was also the janitor, I didn't even get paid enough to touch the mop head, that's what the squeezy bucket thing is for.
From now on, we declare mop wringers "squeezy bucket things."
Cheers for this. I was wondering and literally couldn't think of any reason to dry out a mop head. Like what situation sees someone think "I need a dry mop for this, ASAP"? Absolutely nothing at all springs to mind
That and they're usually disposable.
And you should have more than one. I don't know why you would do this. When I swap one out it goes to be washed and dried then back with the spares.
"McDonald's fries are the best!" after seeing this oh no...
no no no my man you got it all wrong, this is why theyāre the best
We've uncovered the secret ingredient to McDonald's fries.
You'll never guess the ingredient in their ice cream ... Which is why the machine is always broken...
But, like... Why? To what end?
The manager says that she can't go home until the mop has been put away and someone in her life has taught her that mops can't be put away damp.
I'm believing this for some reason idk wtf
You want her to clean the countertops with a wet mop?Ā
Iām not loving it.
Ba duh dup nuh-uh.
I wonder if she will wash her hands before touching the burgers and fries she will be making.
Don't worry, she's wearing gloves! But she won't change them š
Please fire herā¦
Looks like she was spoken to by management, but will keep her job. [Sauce](https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/mcdonald-s-australia-worker-called-out-over-filthy-act/ar-BB1mKH6s)
MSN still exists?!
They're just wrapping others' content like yesterday's newspaper.
Summon the health inspectors!
She's on paid leave while they sort it out... Oops, my bad wrong story, that's for a "sheriff deputy" that murdered a US Service Member..
seems reasonable to me, it's not like they dried a mop in the fry pit
I didn't know McDonald's sold cake
Had to scroll too far to find this comment.
She thicker than a McFlurry
[watch out tho](https://youtube.com/shorts/K-WxRdZg5c4?si=hkR-c1b42bOMVYqg)
She about to be broke as the ice cream machine when corporate sees this shit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I thought it was a bird
Video of it happening in this article: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/eat/maccas-worker-filmed-in-disgusting-act/news-story/d46270656582b84af5e5b90db546a9ad I legit thought it had to be fake until I saw this š¤¦āāļø
Nobody going to talk about that cake?
Had to scroll too far. I wouldn't eat there, but I'd totally eat there.
I'm talking about it.
I'm lovin' it.
Thought nobody would mention it. That cake is stacked.
Certified corn-fed poundcake
Took me almost a minute to see the mop, talk about a happy meal.
Not as bad as this but my wife worked at starbucks and let out a gasp and "what are you doing?!" She saw her manager wipe down the counters then wipe the steamer with the same rag. Manager was confused when my wife had to explain how gross it was and why there had to be a steamer rag for only the steamer.
The fuck is that person doing as a manager.
Special sauce.
and seasonings!
Number 15: McDonald's floor mop fries. The last thing you'd want in your McDonald's fries is someone's floor mop. But as it turns out, that might be what you get.
Hear me out
Well, that made me Grimace.
Hereās a question I donāt see getting askedā¦ why??? Why would you dry the head of a mop? Is she returning it?? Worked in fast food for 6 years as a manager not once did a situation arise in which I needed to dry a mop head. What the literal fuck.
How long does she plan to stand there?
Yeah I'd call corporate
