I worked at a 40year old movie theater and we were responsible for disassembling the drinking fountain nozzles and emptying the ice buckets/machine EVERY NIGHT. Everything would be left to dry at the dryrack next to the sink over night and placed back on for the morning. Our machines might’ve been old but were spotless! 😐 there is no excuse for a McDonalds who likely has more employees throughout the day. I remember complaining about having to do our nightly cleaning during closing but after watching this now I feel proud
Ah but you must understand, a majority of mcdonalds workers are teenagers who couldn’t give a sh*t and do the minimum to get paid. And it’s been confirmed multiple times by different ex mcdonalds workers that the reason the ice cream is always unavailable is because of workers who don’t clean it even though it’s part of their job.
I managed a McDonald's. Ours was spotless. Our drink stations were cleaned and sanitized daily. Our ice was changed nightly. No excuse for what you're seeing here. I don't believe some of what you're seeing here either.
About the drink nozzles: I've never worked at a McDonald's, but places I've worked at that have had those same drink dispensers were easily cleaned at night in a soaking solution. Then rinsed. It is not hard to take care of them and should definitely be routinely cleaned every night.
I’m also pretty sure it’s not in every country.. the worst thing that i noticed when i worked there for like a week was that our establishment often kept the burgers on the plate longer than what was actually allowed.. the only issue it caused however was dry burgers so it wasn’t a big health issue (now i do live in Europe so standards are often different from the US and other countries)
I worked at McDonald’s as an opener. Yes the nozzles are soaked over night I rinsed them off and put them together every morning. An I wiped the machine underneath where the pop comes out
That’s what happens when you hire a bunch of kids at minimum wage to run your restaurants. I worked in fast food when I was young. I remember seeing theft, people hooking up in the bathroom, some doing drugs on their shift, not washing food prep areas properly, etc.
That has absolutely nothing to do with age. I worked at a restaurant when I was 19 years old and I was cleaner than a 40 year olds. I also worked in a restaurant in my early 30s and I was cleaner than the 60 year olds
I just realized, I could’ve bitten a worm too, here’s my story: I used to eat at McDonald’s every week, mostly for its spicy chicken sandwiches. I had ordered 2 and started eating at home. A little while after I ate the first one, I was eating my 2nd one. ( I was hungry okay ) Half way through I bit into my sandwich and there was a weird black-ish brown thing in my sandwich. I didn’t stick around to find out what it was, but whenever my teeth felt it, it was kinda like rubber. I started to puke up both sandwiches into the bag. I never plan on eating there again, though I still buy drinks there. ( McDonald’s is in Crockett Texas )
That's disgusting I went to my local McDonald's took a napkin and whipped the nozzles of the soda machines and loading behold I found mold lots and lots of mold. But McDonald's says "We take complaints very seriously"it's funny that they say that because when I told them about the problem the manager was like "Well, there's no mold in your drink so I don't see what's the problem" like WHAT?!
Mold is inevitable. I used to work at an ice cream shop and we would clean nozzles and machines every night . They were behind the counter. But think about it soda machines are always wet and dark on the inside, they need to create a machine that’s maintainable by workers.
Im so happy my McDonalds has a good manager. Its always spotless or at least as much as it can be with kids constantly running around and all those people 😂
Not just fast food chains.. the worst ones are often chinese takeout places at least it’s that way in my country. Most of Those kitchens are a lot less clean than a mcdonalds kitchen
@@litchtheshinigami8936 it’s funny you mention that because that’s just another form of fast food here in the USA, and just recently I heard some nasty thing about my local Chinese restaurant but can’t speak for all restaurants.
From my experience wendys is probably more cleaner than McDonald's or any others like burger king I've been to a ton of them and none of them I've had problems at and yes maybe certain food places because ik their is some that do actually care for the customers
The situation is real, but some of these specific people's claims are definitely false. 8:00 is a piece of shredded lettuce. If you've ever disassembled a McDonald's chicken sandwich, that's exactly what some of the lighter crisper pieces (usually the lower part of the lettuce head) look like. The first lady at 4:22 is questionable at best. I've had McDonald's get my order wrong, and had to scrape off the mayo from my McChicken before, and that's what it looks like once you've gotten most of it off. They slather it on the bun, and since their lettuce is shredded, some still gets on the party. Unless you're scraping into the nooks of the deep fried batter, there's always remnants. Not to mention that, since they are deep fried, worms/maggots wouldn't still be that white; they'd be crispy and much darker. There's plenty of evidence for that from a common sense standpoint, as well as the multitude of people across the globe that eat fried worms, maggots, and other insects. They're definitely not bright white after cooking of any kind
@@Amarianee yeah I agree but what’s your opinion on this We live in a society where people are getting good paying job offers without any and I MEAN ANY INTERVIEW PROCESS WHATSOEVER, If you have a heartbeat and are a walking zombie 🧟♀️ you’re HIRED SO WHO IS REALLY TO BLAME?! In other words peoples morals are no longer accounted for when it comes to the hiring process and I feel that truly is a sad thing to see. That work ethic is no longer questioned because is it assumed that everyone has morals or is a good person? Or even has good work ethics?
This doesn't happen to me with burgers, bc I always have to take them apart and realign them, as they're always just slapped together and I like my burger to be stacked properly. Also, I worked at a corporate McDonald's, and it was very clean. We had to take everything apart and clean it, everything was cooked at proper food temperatures and stored properly. Idk how this happened at these locations.
Without proper regulation and checkups, this is what you get. In my country, EVERY place that serves food will by law be randomly inspected at minimum once a year, usually two if they're a restaurant and maybe even three if they're at high risk. This types of inspection prompts all places to keep clean properly, all year around. Self-regulation alone is NEVER enough in *any* kind of industry.
Yeah, I worked at a franchise and we were relatively clean, we cleaned materials in between morning and lunch and then over time we continued cleaning the kitchen every 30 mins sweeping, temping, wiping down, and everything was stored properly and we had a HUGE fridge, cold though, and we took down the fry machine at 4pm and did fries manually after cleaning and defrosting it, and everything old was thrown away and if burgers ended up being undercooked they were thrown away or just flipped and cooked a tiny bit more.
Let me just tell you this. This is not only at fast food locations. This stuff happens in restaurants also. Especially if it's a summer time. If y'all knew what y'all were eating, you would never eat out ever again. You would learn how to make everything yourself. Trust me.
I do lol. I do not eat out at all. Unfortunately some people cannot afford doing this tho whether it be time or money consuming 🙁 even though I don’t eat out, the people definitely deserve better than this 🤦🏾♀️
Thankfully the place is closed, but yep. I worked at a shady burger place for like 3 days and the guy literally had a bucket under the grill to dip his hands into between burgers and touching everything else in the kitchen instead of going to the sink to wash his hands. That place (and the manager honestly) was nasty!!! Plus, he never paid me and just used me for free labor before I left 😅
It’s so funny to me that these places think you want gift cards or replacements when you find something so gross in your food. The last thing your gonna want after that is more food from the same restaurant 😰
Never give your tainted food back to the restaurant. Keep it to have it tested for your lawsuit! If you give the restaurant the food back, then you're basically forfeiting the only evidence that you have. Of course they don't want you to have proof of their health violations!!!
1. Don't order drinks that are from a drink fountain, ever. 2. Avoid ice at all cost. 3. Always check your food, even if you did it in your house. This is such a basic instinct we have stopped doing for so long.
Guys, remember. If your ice sinks in your water or beverage, DO NOT DRINK IT. also, bonus points if your drink smells like a bit of cinnamon. Cinnamon scents is usually used to cover up poison. If you are suspicious of the drink, ask for ice in it to see if it sinks or floats. Sometimes, the ice can still float so i would recommend after doing a search to pour it out.
As an ex McDonald's employee, I feel like there are several things that could be causing this. #1: employees are often expected to do multiple tasks at the same time everyday and all day. For instance, as a cashier you have to take orders, money, make drinks, cook fries and sometimes food, clean your area and sometimes other areas throughout the day and keep all ingredients, cups, napkins, and other things in stock, all the while being yelled at by customers and higher ups (at my location, we had to go into a basement at the very back of the store to restock things). #2 Employees may be REALLY lazy. I'll give you a few different experiences. A kitchen employee bringing out cold meat from the freezer and leaving it out for extended periods of time AND a kitchen employee dropping a big Mac on thefloor, putting it back in the box and trying to get me to put it in the customers bag. Me and the other employees told him off until the manager can back and he got fired. #3 Employees not being properly trained. This one is a big deal and it happened so much it wasn't even funny. I made ice cream in a Christmas tree looking way instead of a swirl because I was never taught how to make them properly. I also clean the drink machine constantly because we were never taught how to clean the nossels. The were several times where I would start my shift and whoever was there before me left a sticky moldy mess and I couldn't stand it. I was a day shift employee. This is just my two cents. I don't like McDonald's anyway. Word on the street is that they're the lowest of the low when it comes to fast food.
A sticky mess maybe but mold takes many days to establish and grow, so assuming you worked more than once a week, it'd be impossible to grow mold that fast
Never eating from a fast food place again . Absolutely vile and disgusting, I put it down to lazy employees who can't be bothered to make sure that work areas and drinks machines are kept clean . Would they treat their own kitchens at home like that 🤢
It disgusts me how little regard these workers have for the health of others when they decide to just keep not cleaning things like this 😔 this is not okay.
"mold on the patty" bruh my science teacher literally pinned a McDonald's burger to the wall for like 4 semesters and none of it ever molded, it only ever turned into a mcstone burger lol
Mold only form in moist places if the patty was dried first then it would mold It's just like dry aging a beef if you leave a piece of beef in the rain it rots
Bruh my brother literally left one under his bed for fifteen years and it never got old even after my mom found it while cleaning A DECADE AND A HALF LATER
They're pretty strict and they have to show that the store is compliant with he Food Act. McDonald's /KFC /hungry jacks usually stick at 5 stars. But you can keep an eye on them
I like people address McDonald’s as if it’s a person who needs to fix this. I’ve been a manager for few years, it’s not bad policies, it’s bad people. And that’s just a fact I’m stating. Most workers are students who don’t care or were not explained why is it important to clean those drink towers. Hiring right people is extremely difficult especially when the pay is rubbish. That’s something McDonald’s could actually work on. Good pay attracts the right staff.
Yeah you right it's just kids the pay is really poor and they treat you like a dog. That's why I will never work at any fast food places. You want respect then show some.
I'm not saying some of these allegations aren't true but when I worked at mcdonalds we removed and cleaned the nozzles of the drinks after closing. Also the meat is stored fine. And thats cause I live in the poor side of town. Not all mcdonalds are like this I promise. 🤢
McDonald’s be getting a bad rep because employees don’t do their jobs, in a way, I can understand. It’s such a busy environment. I think they should hire one person specifically for cleaning around, machines, utensils, around and everywhere
They can be especially short staffed, the ones where I live are basically running skeleton crews all the time. But at least the one I work at super hard to keep out place as clean as possible
@@pichufan0314 I bet, I’ve noticed it’s started to become very short staffed in my area and it’s a big city. I am glad, I’m so glad that you care, and I hope they notice it, because there amazing.
@@rockisrx I'm in a kinda small town and a few people who work with me are highschool students so they work short hours. Even with short staffing we all make sure to keep it clean
My dad's friend reported to find a cockroach or some big bug inside of his burger bun in a McDonalds I used to go during high school lunch times, he was able to file a law suit to McDonalds for it after they tried to offer £75 in gift cards. At the time I didn't pay much mind because I was 14 at the time, but now after working in multiple fast food joints, I find it disgusting that some even don't clean their drink machines properly after being reported on the issue, I would get sacked if my manager finds out I failed to do my job after being told to clean it! After this video, I just feel sick and I do not wish to go into any place to eat at, and will just really on making my own food at home or going to places that actually take hygiene and food safety seriously.
@@elaxiia17 Apparently so, I talked to my dad recently about it, and he told me that he actually took a bite of it and felt something very crunchy. I think thats where the high money amount came 🤢🤢🤢
My question is: How the heck an earthworm ended up in a burger or a drinks?! It doesn't make sense to me that they are in a building in the first place.
As a former employee at a local McDonalds, I can say that we did try to keep the place clean, but there are certain things that probably should have been done more often. And we did have worms, but I only ever saw them in one location, which was a drain that was way back under the counters. Cleaning that area required pulling all the workstations out of the area, so it didn't get done often. However, this drain wasn't connected to any machines or placed near any food storage/prep stations. That said, not every shift cared to do as thorough a job, and on several occasions things that would normally get done fairly early ended up having to wait hours or even get left for the next shift because one or more tasks hadn't been done the prior evening. I also don't think all our staff, including some managers, actually knew how some things needed to be cleaned. Certain things just can't be taken care of by grabbing a spray bottle and a few napkins. All that having been said, one reason this kind of thing has been happening in multiple locations is simply because there are so many locations. It's simple math, if there's a 1% chance of something going wrong at any given location, and you have 200 locations, you probably have at least 2 problems. McDonalds is one of the biggest chains in the world, so even things that would only happen once out of any 10,000 locations on any given year are almost guaranteed to happen somewhere. And the reasons why are many. Not all locations adhere to corporate's standards of cleanliness, or even bother trying to keep up to local code. Others are the very model of cleanliness, but fall victim to a problem in the distribution system. Refrigeration in the shipping trucks could fail, not in a way that would alert anyone to a problem, but just enough to let a small amount of product start to turn bad. Poor labeling, poor stocking habits, poor worker (or even customer) hygiene, and the cycles in local ecology all play a part.
The McDonald's that my sister works at, they have to have everything professionally cleaned every morning and every night to prevent things like this from happening.
I worked in a restaurant before. You have to dismantle the entire nozzles to properly clean them. The restaurant I use to work at didn't properly dismantle them for months, once a new girl arrived and dismantled them to clean and soak them is when I learned that's how you're supposed to clean them. And the next day OMG did it taste SO MUCH BETTER
I mean there's a reason why you pay more at an upper end restaurant: you're not just paying for fancy made food: you're paying for cleanliness, quality ingredients and care of your food. This is why a lot of people are starting to really learn how to cook now.
I worked in fast food before the employees are not being trained by the manager to clean the nozzles at either never occurred to them or they just don’t care either too busy
I have to disagree. There are times where people are running late and need a quick snack and every restaurant around is popping off but McD’s is kinda slow, or the affordability of it or even just craving a Big Mac. I don’t think this is okay under any circumstance. Im surprised the workers don’t seem to care so much considering they get free lunches there.
I work at McDonald’s and I don’t even understand how there would be bugs on the food in the first place. For starters, how are there live worms in the burger patties when the meat comes out of the -1 degree freezer and then grilled at 500 degrees😂 Not sure how worms would be able to survive being frozen and then cooked at such a high temperature. And then the caterpillar on the apple pie. The apple pies are frozen and then baked in a 450 degree oven for 12 minutes. Then they come out the oven and are placed in the boxes. So an employee would have had to see the caterpillar on the pie and then placed it straight in the box without cooking it from the freezer😂 Makes no sense to me. These videos are totally faked.
Agreed I worked at a McDonald's and I hated it. We had to clean constantly. We ALWAYS had to be doing something. We were not allowed to talk to each other or just stand around if we didn't have costumers. The woman said the pie wasn't cooked but how would that even happen? Just like the cookies the pie comes from the fridge/freezer I don't remember because I worked there like 13 years ago. Nozzles are also cleaned so those McDonald's weren't doing their jobs like they should be.
I'm not surprised. I use to work at a McDonald's. One day we came in and one of the trashcans in our lobby had maggots crawling all around the bottom. Nothing was done about it, next time I came in they were gone and nothing changed.
@@FlabbyAbi when I was there the big boss was talking about it and what to do so I didn’t touch it besides that’s night crews job. At the time we weren’t open inside most of the time anyways.
Used to work in burger King and McDonald's, we always got AT LEAST 24 hours notice before any kind of environmental health person was coming round. More than enough time to get things cleaned.
Im taking culinary class right now. Not only do we learn how to cook, but the dangers of preparing food the wrong way, and also a lot about the service and hospitality industry. I’m very sure that the staff need to clean the drink dispenser every night, and change it out. Especially ice since it is easy for pathogens to get into it. Also if it’s true that they are giving expired food, they need to date the items and move the items closer to expiration to where they’ll be used first, and those with a later expiration date to the back. Anything even a day after expiration NEEDS to be thrown away. After closing time, the staff needs to clean the kitchen, and all the equipment. And before opening the kitchen should be clean again. But McDonalds is very interesting. In the past I have had a bad experience with the chain. I’ve gotten RAW beef in my burger, my fries felt cold as if they were sitting out for a while (fries are a TCS food and should remain above 135°F, and not left out. Pathogens can get into there), I have also gotten drink that taste funky, and overall just not a restaurant up to standards. Even though it’s fast food and should have low standards, it doesn’t look even meet those low standards! But yea that’s all I have to say.
I remember working for a fast food restaurant in my teen years. I was in charge of cleaning the soda fountains at night. After a whole day of using those machines they get pretty gross from the buildup of the syrup inside the nozzles. So imagine just letting them sit there for Days, even weeks! It’s disgusting and a health hazard!!
2:30 yeah but I kinda don't believe this.. this is a rain worm, which is unexplainable to me how it got there. They come from underground when it rains and unless it was brought with some pile of mud I don't know how could've happen. It would be more logical to find some sort of food related animal, like fruit worms which are commonly found in fruits and vegetables.
Wait, health department gets a call about unsanitary food and the very next day they close the case saying that nothing was found? Kind of fast... Almost like they were paid to close the case fast? I can hardly believe such allegations would be settled so quickly. A couple of days investigation would seem more normal or am I wrong on this?
@CreativeUnoriginals It's viable on short-term for the personal benefit of the person who's accepting the bribes. It's very possible that it's happening more often than we expect.
Very unlikely that it’s overstock as someone who works in fast food everything is dated on when to throw and if warehouses start sending expired food stores are quick to report that because if they don’t they get charged for it and if they report it they get a refund
@@raggosaki That's not good. There's some easy recipes young teens and adults can do thats super tasty online. Easy tortilla soup is my favorite. I barely eat fast food anymore I cook and bake what I want to eat.
Now I'm scared I ate something parasitic without even knowing! That's horrifying!! Edit: I'm at the end of the video and I seriously feel so gross, imma go take four showers and brush my teeth for like ten minutes 🤢🤢🤢
Now I'm going be worried about any restaurant I go to whether or not the nozzles are cleaned >.< If this worm issue was at one or two locations, maybe that would be one thing but this seems very widespread
You honestly aren't missing much. Like you I haven't had McDonald's in at least a decade. Last week I got Covid and was way to tired to cook so I ordered McDonald's and literally everything I had was trash. I really miss when McDonald's used to actually be good
As someone who works at a McDonald’s, I’ve had a shift where they had left the orange juice machine MOLD because it sealed shut from a spill. It took me and another coworker to pry it open with spatulas
My friends brother is a good friend of mine as well. He’s 18 and when he was 16 he worked at a Mc. Donald’s. Apparently his brother saw a worm in the deep fryer with some fries and had to remake them for the persons order. I believe it now.
Attention to those nozzles! As a McDonald’s night shift worker every night we clean the nozzles, that is 100% fault of the McDonald’s. We take the nozzles off and soak them in water and then clean them at the sink and put them back in a small bucket to dry, the next day they are put back on by the morning shift. This McDonald’s clearly doesn’t clean their nozzles. For the rotten food with worms, as a kitchen worker I am required to make sure to notice if anything is wrong with our burgers and we would notice if they have worms when we cook them because they are not hand cooked. We put the frozen patty’s on a grill and it cooks the pattys in a little under 60 seconds. For the pie: As a person who has cooked pies before that pie should be frozen. At least at my location our pies, cookies, patty’s, fries, nuggets, chicken meat and fish fillets are cooked right out of the freezer. So those worms and parasites are either put there on purpose by the people who filmed the video or they are put there by the workers. This is just at my location and at my location we are required to clean the nozzles, the grill, behind the grill, the frozen drink machines, soda machines, coffee machines, ice cream machines and behind the frozen drink, ice cream, coffee machines and soda machines. If you think it can be cleaned, we clean it, and yes, unfortunately, that includes the play place *shivers* luckily due to covid this hasn’t been an issue though.
This is a complete sidenote, who tf comes to McDonalds every day for their kids?? I was also shocked about the parent who bought their two kids burgers for breakfast and two more for the afternoon. Clean or not that’s terribly unhealthy.
Unfortunately In some areas they don't have much choice like for example near sheppey train station the food in Tesco's prices have skyrocketed so I've had to start buying McDonald's instead because I can't afford to keep paying those prices just for some food
I was shocked by the mom who got Mcdonald for her 1 year old?? Like the heck? Sure, you gotta do what you gotta do... but isn't that a bit young for McDonald's?
@@3amhellbeast technically no depending on where u are getting it from you can get baby freindly meals that are specifically made for young babies my sister has had to go to McDonald's to get one before because she was on the brink of homelessness and couldn't afford proper food it usually comes with liquidised foods and milk to help the baby digest it and not have to worry about chewing to much
There was a Hardees where I used to live, my daughters friend worked there and they're were maggots in the shake machine!! They were being ground up as the machine was grinding them when the machine was turning the ice cream was blended. Til the regional mgr came in unexpectedly and checked the machines and found them and mold also!! He tore the machine down and told them they were not to sell shakes again!!
but are we gonna forget that the FDA allows maggots and maggot eggs, worms, insects etc in food we eat everyday? peanut butter? tomato sauce? coffee? rice? I could go on? everything is gross, let’s all starve together
Aussie McDonalds employee here.. Never had this issue over the 5-6years of working at my store.. All our burgers are raw before cooked on the grill or deep fryer.. After being cooked they are put in a pan/tray with a timer that says when the burgers are no longer allowed to be sold to customers.. Our drink nosals are assembled and disassembled every day/night and soaked ( same as our coffee machine ) Fast food stores and restaurants can get a little gross and sticky at times from all of the oil and syrups but I've never seen bugs at our store or anything contaminating our food or drinks.. Honestly these stores seem lazy and unhygienic.. They probably leave the burger patties in the trays for days just to get rid of product or if the store is quite busy they might cook tooo many patties and instead of wasting the patties they keep them in the trays to ' save the product ' or just because they couldn't care less about cooking new patties
Because in America the FDA let's us eat all kinds of food they don't care about our safety. Same thing with hygiene products and make up. They let companies load them with unsafe chemicals. For instance in the UK they only allow natural food coloring but here they let us eat food coloring in our food that's not natural and has been proven to effect brain activity. Our patties aren't even real on most of our burgers here at McDonald's. 😔
I think it also partially happens depending where you are because we've never had any of these problems from any of the fast food restaurants I've gone to including McDonald's
Ok this is the perfect opportunity for a story... So my mom's friend went to McDonalds with her kids and they got food there. They sat at the table, AND THERE WAS A COCKROACH INSIDE ONE OF THE BURGERS. There is evidence (we have photos). Not sure if we sued them or something but I don't like McDonalds unless I'm getting a cinnamon roll. I always get soggy, cold fries and thin cold patties. Never taste good :( 0 stars, McDonalds. You've done "great"
Oh come on.. Seriously, it is kind of funny that this only always happens in America, why don't we ever find something like that in Austria or Germany?
You didn't watch the video then cuz the very first story was located in London England but you're probably one of those people who are awesome at geography so you think since both countries speak English they're probably American.
We live in a society where people are getting good paying job offers without any and I MEAN ANY INTERVIEW PROCESS WHATSOEVER, If you have a heartbeat and are a walking zombie 🧟♀️ you’re HIRED SO WHO IS REALLY TO BLAME?! When Morals are taken out of the interview process assuming everyone has them that’s where we started messing things up.
I’ve worked at 3 different McDonald’s. Only 1 of them cleaned drink machines frequently. My last location I saw something gross in the water at the drive thru one and so I went to clean it. It was disgusting. I checked the cleaning log book, closing shift hadn’t cleaned it over 6 months. They said it was because we were under staffed, which we were because our owner didn’t want to hire people. The only thing getting done daily was mopping the lobby floor, cleaning the grill, and doing dishes. Our frappe machines hadn’t been cleaned more often than the drinks machine, anything that breaks easy or gets clogged easy always gets cleaned more than once a week cuz cleaning it is what fixes it.
Im sorry but how is it even possible for earth worms to be in the food etc? I don't know about this.. Earth worms don't just randomly appear in food and such unlike maggots if it's unclean/old.
@@noxnoir Yeah something is not adding up with the earth worms, its just not their normal environment at all lol. Someone has to literally put them there
I once had pieces of hard blue plastic cooked into my McChicken sandwich. I took it back inside right away and they gave me a new sandwich and had me call their safety board and they sent me a few free food vouchers. Plastic is one thing, but if I ever found bugs I don’t think I could ever eat there again!
I don't get how dirt worms get in there, the only choice that the creator of the video put it in there or the one who made the food, but they don't spam out of nowhere
Still going to McD cuz in my country it’s fine, I live in Europe. Never are there any problems never heard of such disgusting things in any fast food restaurants here. So it really depends where you live. Y’all take care 🙏
As a Mcdonalds manager we always have a main rule if you are not cooking then clean we always clean in the morning and when we don't have customers and closing time, this is disgusting
Jeeze, making me want to work as a cleaner at mcdonalds so I know it's properly maintained. Guess I'm not willing to give up the fries or something. 😂 But in all seriousness, I hope mcdonanlds will properly look into this and see why it's even happening in the first place. Then actually try to fix it instead of saying they fixed it.
I never order my drinks with ice because I've had several people tell me that the ice makers don't get cleaned regularly. Moldy ice is not surprising. These other issues too, though 🤢
Not all McDonald’s have these unsafe foods. I live in Canada and no McDonald’s had any worms or bugs on my food. I’ve been eating at McDonalds for a long time, still nothing bad has happened
It's really bizarre that EARTHWORMS out of every type of contaminant to end up in a kitchen, don't you think someone's purposefully trying to sabotage McDonalds or something?
I worked at a 40year old movie theater and we were responsible for disassembling the drinking fountain nozzles and emptying the ice buckets/machine EVERY NIGHT.

And it’s been confirmed multiple times by different ex mcdonalds workers that the reason the ice cream is always unavailable is because of workers who don’t clean it even though it’s part of their job.
I managed a McDonald's. Ours was spotless. Our drink stations were cleaned and sanitized daily. Our ice was changed nightly. No excuse for what you're seeing here. I don't believe some of what you're seeing here either.
You should feel proud
They don't make people do side work anymore.. IT'S SO GROSS!! The drink nozzles are supposed to be taken off and soaked in bleach and rinsed A LOT..
Let's get something straight, just because their food is cheap doesn't make it ok for them to violate the health code!!!
It might be cheap where you are, but in Australia it's a massive rip off!
Cheap??

@@lrw121 facts there's no McDonald's where I live in in tasmainia we have local restaurants much healthier better food :)
About the drink nozzles: I've never worked at a McDonald's, but places I've worked at that have had those same drink dispensers were easily cleaned at night in a soaking solution. Then rinsed. It is not hard to take care of them and should definitely be routinely cleaned every night.
I worked at Texas Roadhouse and we had to clean them daily. Not sure why they wouldn’t Takes 5 mins max
I’m also pretty sure it’s not in every country.. the worst thing that i noticed when i worked there for like a week was that our establishment often kept the burgers on the plate longer than what was actually allowed.. the only issue it caused however was dry burgers so it wasn’t a big health issue (now i do live in Europe so standards are often different from the US and other countries)
@@litchtheshinigami8936 I dont know how different US standards are to different countries but we dont always follow standard that I've noticed
I worked at McDonald’s as an opener. Yes the nozzles are soaked over night I rinsed them off and put them together every morning. An I wiped the machine underneath where the pop comes out
I worked at an Australian McDonald’s and we used to have to do this. So it is strange that other countries McDonald’s might not do that
That’s what happens when you hire a bunch of kids at minimum wage to run your restaurants. I worked in fast food when I was young. I remember seeing theft, people hooking up in the bathroom, some doing drugs on their shift, not washing food prep areas properly, etc.
@Shhhhh some are but i think that procedure should be only applied to teenage workers who have violated rules
That has absolutely nothing to do with age. I worked at a restaurant when I was 19 years old and I was cleaner than a 40 year olds. I also worked in a restaurant in my early 30s and I was cleaner than the 60 year olds
@Jake From State Farm lol...cool story bro
and me not even gettin hired that love mcdonald and wanna take seriously but i didnt get hired
That’s nasty
I just realized, I could’ve bitten a worm too, here’s my story:
I used to eat at McDonald’s every week, mostly for its spicy chicken sandwiches.
I had ordered 2 and started eating at home. A little while after I ate the first one, I was eating my 2nd one. ( I was hungry okay )
Half way through I bit into my sandwich and there was a weird black-ish brown thing in my sandwich.
I didn’t stick around to find out what it was, but whenever my teeth felt it, it was kinda like rubber.
I started to puke up both sandwiches into the bag. I never plan on eating there again, though I still buy drinks there.
( McDonald’s is in Crockett Texas )
that sounds utterly traumatizing
TLDR: they were hungry and ate two sandwiches then found a black-ish brown thing that felt rubbery in the second sandwich then threw both of them up

That's disgusting I went to my local McDonald's took a napkin and whipped the nozzles of the soda machines and loading behold I found mold lots and lots of mold. But McDonald's says "We take complaints very seriously"it's funny that they say that because when I told them about the problem the manager was like "Well, there's no mold in your drink so I don't see what's the problem" like WHAT?!
When I worked at McDonald's the drinks stations was never cleaned. It's always best to get bottled drinks to be safe.
That’s when you say ohh my god you have microscopic eyes???? We need to call the news!! If it’s running thru mold, mold is going into the drink
*lo and behold
Mold is inevitable. I used to work at an ice cream shop and we would clean nozzles and machines every night . They were behind the counter. But think about it soda machines are always wet and dark on the inside, they need to create a machine that’s maintainable by workers.
Im so happy my McDonalds has a good manager. Its always spotless or at least as much as it can be with kids constantly running around and all those people 😂
If you think this is only at McDonald’s it’s at ALL FAST FOOD CHAINS, don’t get it twisted this is REAL!
Not just fast food chains.. the worst ones are often chinese takeout places at least it’s that way in my country. Most of Those kitchens are a lot less clean than a mcdonalds kitchen
@@litchtheshinigami8936 it’s funny you mention that because that’s just another form of fast food here in the USA, and just recently I heard some nasty thing about my local Chinese restaurant but can’t speak for all restaurants.
From my experience wendys is probably more cleaner than McDonald's or any others like burger king I've been to a ton of them and none of them I've had problems at and yes maybe certain food places because ik their is some that do actually care for the customers
The situation is real, but some of these specific people's claims are definitely false. 8:00 is a piece of shredded lettuce. If you've ever disassembled a McDonald's chicken sandwich, that's exactly what some of the lighter crisper pieces (usually the lower part of the lettuce head) look like. The first lady at 4:22 is questionable at best. I've had McDonald's get my order wrong, and had to scrape off the mayo from my McChicken before, and that's what it looks like once you've gotten most of it off. They slather it on the bun, and since their lettuce is shredded, some still gets on the party. Unless you're scraping into the nooks of the deep fried batter, there's always remnants. Not to mention that, since they are deep fried, worms/maggots wouldn't still be that white; they'd be crispy and much darker. There's plenty of evidence for that from a common sense standpoint, as well as the multitude of people across the globe that eat fried worms, maggots, and other insects. They're definitely not bright white after cooking of any kind
@@Amarianee yeah I agree but what’s your opinion on this We live in a society where people are getting good paying job offers without any and I MEAN ANY INTERVIEW PROCESS WHATSOEVER, If you have a heartbeat and are a walking zombie 🧟♀️ you’re HIRED SO WHO IS REALLY TO BLAME?! In other words peoples morals are no longer accounted for when it comes to the hiring process and I feel that truly is a sad thing to see.

Fish have ate worms since time began so of COURSE you’d find a worm in your Fish sandwich… 😒🪱🤢
This doesn't happen to me with burgers, bc I always have to take them apart and realign them, as they're always just slapped together and I like my burger to be stacked properly. Also, I worked at a corporate McDonald's, and it was very clean. We had to take everything apart and clean it, everything was cooked at proper food temperatures and stored properly. Idk how this happened at these locations.
Some people are lazy =
Relies on the manager really.. dirty managers cause dirty restaurants.. clean managers however cause clean restaurants
Same, currently working at a McDonald’s and we’re constantly cleaning
Without proper regulation and checkups, this is what you get.
In my country, EVERY place that serves food will by law be randomly inspected at minimum once a year, usually two if they're a restaurant and maybe even three if they're at high risk. This types of inspection prompts all places to keep clean properly, all year around.
Self-regulation alone is NEVER enough in *any* kind of industry.
Yeah, I worked at a franchise and we were relatively clean, we cleaned materials in between morning and lunch and then over time we continued cleaning the kitchen every 30 mins sweeping, temping, wiping down, and everything was stored properly and we had a HUGE fridge, cold though, and we took down the fry machine at 4pm and did fries manually after cleaning and defrosting it, and everything old was thrown away and if burgers ended up being undercooked they were thrown away or just flipped and cooked a tiny bit more.
Let me just tell you this. This is not only at fast food locations. This stuff happens in restaurants also. Especially if it's a summer time. If y'all knew what y'all were eating, you would never eat out ever again. You would learn how to make everything yourself. Trust me.

I do lol. I do not eat out at all. Unfortunately some people cannot afford doing this tho whether it be time or money consuming 🙁 even though I don’t eat out, the people definitely deserve better than this 🤦🏾♀️
Thankfully the place is closed, but yep. I worked at a shady burger place for like 3 days and the guy literally had a bucket under the grill to dip his hands into between burgers and touching everything else in the kitchen instead of going to the sink to wash his hands. That place (and the manager honestly) was nasty!!! Plus, he never paid me and just used me for free labor before I left 😅
Agreed... after working in a couple restaurants I would rather not eat out!!!

O-omg i-i- LITERALLY HAD ICE IN EVERY DRINK E▪︎~▪︎
Guys, remember. If your ice sinks in your water or beverage, DO NOT DRINK IT. also, bonus points if your drink smells like a bit of cinnamon. Cinnamon scents is usually used to cover up poison. If you are suspicious of the drink, ask for ice in it to see if it sinks or floats. Sometimes, the ice can still float so i would recommend after doing a search to pour it out.
I already don't like ice cuz i never finish my sodas and the ice makes all watery

They don't really care about food safety
As an ex McDonald's employee, I feel like there are several things that could be causing this. #1: employees are often expected to do multiple tasks at the same time everyday and all day. For instance, as a cashier you have to take orders, money, make drinks, cook fries and sometimes food, clean your area and sometimes other areas throughout the day and keep all ingredients, cups, napkins, and other things in stock, all the while being yelled at by customers and higher ups (at my location, we had to go into a basement at the very back of the store to restock things). #2 Employees may be REALLY lazy. I'll give you a few different experiences. A kitchen employee bringing out cold meat from the freezer and leaving it out for extended periods of time AND a kitchen employee dropping a big Mac on thefloor, putting it back in the box and trying to get me to put it in the customers bag. Me and the other employees told him off until the manager can back and he got fired. #3 Employees not being properly trained. This one is a big deal and it happened so much it wasn't even funny. I made ice cream in a Christmas tree looking way instead of a swirl because I was never taught how to make them properly. I also clean the drink machine constantly because we were never taught how to clean the nossels. The were several times where I would start my shift and whoever was there before me left a sticky moldy mess and I couldn't stand it. I was a day shift employee. This is just my two cents. I don't like McDonald's anyway. Word on the street is that they're the lowest of the low when it comes to fast food.
They used to be really good when they were one resturant in California back in the day. Not anymore.
@Ethan and Lane Hall are u 80 years old? Serious question btw.
@@madipies No my grandpa told me. He said that when the old mcdonalds cooked burgers they were like someone had actually cooked them on a grill
A sticky mess maybe but mold takes many days to establish and grow, so assuming you worked more than once a week, it'd be impossible to grow mold that fast
Dang acting like you've never multi tasked before. But i see the point.
Never eating from a fast food place again . Absolutely vile and disgusting, I put it down to lazy employees who can't be bothered to make sure that work areas and drinks machines are kept clean . Would they treat their own kitchens at home like that 🤢
It disgusts me how little regard these workers have for the health of others when they decide to just keep not cleaning things like this 😔 this is not okay.

I like people address McDonald’s as if it’s a person who needs to fix this. I’ve been a manager for few years, it’s not bad policies, it’s bad people. And that’s just a fact I’m stating. Most workers are students who don’t care or were not explained why is it important to clean those drink towers. Hiring right people is extremely difficult especially when the pay is rubbish. That’s something McDonald’s could actually work on. Good pay attracts the right staff.
THANK YOUUUU!!! I work there and we clean our store heavily every single night and make sure everything is clean before we serve anything

Thank you like what are the workers doing.
Worms can squirm their way in weird places like rats
As a former employee at a local McDonalds, I can say that we did try to keep the place clean, but there are certain things that probably should have been done more often. And we did have worms, but I only ever saw them in one location, which was a drain that was way back under the counters. Cleaning that area required pulling all the workstations out of the area, so it didn't get done often. However, this drain wasn't connected to any machines or placed near any food storage/prep stations. That said, not every shift cared to do as thorough a job, and on several occasions things that would normally get done fairly early ended up having to wait hours or even get left for the next shift because one or more tasks hadn't been done the prior evening. I also don't think all our staff, including some managers, actually knew how some things needed to be cleaned. Certain things just can't be taken care of by grabbing a spray bottle and a few napkins.
All that having been said, one reason this kind of thing has been happening in multiple locations is simply because there are so many locations. It's simple math, if there's a 1% chance of something going wrong at any given location, and you have 200 locations, you probably have at least 2 problems. McDonalds is one of the biggest chains in the world, so even things that would only happen once out of any 10,000 locations on any given year are almost guaranteed to happen somewhere. And the reasons why are many. Not all locations adhere to corporate's standards of cleanliness, or even bother trying to keep up to local code. Others are the very model of cleanliness, but fall victim to a problem in the distribution system. Refrigeration in the shipping trucks could fail, not in a way that would alert anyone to a problem, but just enough to let a small amount of product start to turn bad. Poor labeling, poor stocking habits, poor worker (or even customer) hygiene, and the cycles in local ecology all play a part.
I haven't eaten fast food in 5 years, I've never regretted it.
The McDonald's that my sister works at, they have to have everything professionally cleaned every morning and every night to prevent things like this from happening.
Ok
Not all McDonald's clean
I worked in a restaurant before. You have to dismantle the entire nozzles to properly clean them. The restaurant I use to work at didn't properly dismantle them for months, once a new girl arrived and dismantled them to clean and soak them is when I learned that's how you're supposed to clean them. And the next day OMG did it taste SO MUCH BETTER
I mean there's a reason why you pay more at an upper end restaurant: you're not just paying for fancy made food: you're paying for cleanliness, quality ingredients and care of your food. This is why a lot of people are starting to really learn how to cook now.
Agree,
I worked in fast food before the employees are not being trained by the manager to clean the nozzles at either never occurred to them or they just don’t care either too busy
So fun fact, fast food SHOULDN’T be inherently gross in terms of cleanliness. We have this thing called HEALTH INSPECTORS
I have to disagree. There are times where people are running late and need a quick snack and every restaurant around is popping off but McD’s is kinda slow, or the affordability of it or even just craving a Big Mac. I don’t think this is okay under any circumstance. Im surprised the workers don’t seem to care so much considering they get free lunches there.
In America, we have FOOD regulation laws.
Places that aren't clean get closed down.
I work at McDonald’s and I don’t even understand how there would be bugs on the food in the first place. For starters, how are there live worms in the burger patties when the meat comes out of the -1 degree freezer and then grilled at 500 degrees😂 Not sure how worms would be able to survive being frozen and then cooked at such a high temperature. And then the caterpillar on the apple pie. The apple pies are frozen and then baked in a 450 degree oven for 12 minutes. Then they come out the oven and are placed in the boxes. So an employee would have had to see the caterpillar on the pie and then placed it straight in the box without cooking it from the freezer😂 Makes no sense to me. These videos are totally faked.
True😂
Agreed I worked at a McDonald's and I hated it. We had to clean constantly. We ALWAYS had to be doing something. We were not allowed to talk to each other or just stand around if we didn't have costumers. The woman said the pie wasn't cooked but how would that even happen? Just like the cookies the pie comes from the fridge/freezer I don't remember because I worked there like 13 years ago. Nozzles are also cleaned so those McDonald's weren't doing their jobs like they should be.
PHEW, you just made my day a lot better
So true i also work at McDonald's and i was like how is this possible
Keep in mind this might have been after the cooking.
New fear unlocked: getting sick by McDonald’s
I'm not surprised. I use to work at a McDonald's. One day we came in and one of the trashcans in our lobby had maggots crawling all around the bottom. Nothing was done about it, next time I came in they were gone and nothing changed.
Im not asking in a judgey way, I've never worked there so I'm just curious why you or any others didn't clean it?
@@FlabbyAbi when I was there the big boss was talking about it and what to do so I didn’t touch it besides that’s night crews job. At the time we weren’t open inside most of the time anyways.
Used to work in burger King and McDonald's, we always got AT LEAST 24 hours notice before any kind of environmental health person was coming round. More than enough time to get things cleaned.

Im taking culinary class right now. Not only do we learn how to cook, but the dangers of preparing food the wrong way, and also a lot about the service and hospitality industry. I’m very sure that the staff need to clean the drink dispenser every night, and change it out. Especially ice since it is easy for pathogens to get into it. Also if it’s true that they are giving expired food, they need to date the items and move the items closer to expiration to where they’ll be used first, and those with a later expiration date to the back. Anything even a day after expiration NEEDS to be thrown away. After closing time, the staff needs to clean the kitchen, and all the equipment. And before opening the kitchen should be clean again.
But McDonalds is very interesting. In the past I have had a bad experience with the chain. I’ve gotten RAW beef in my burger, my fries felt cold as if they were sitting out for a while (fries are a TCS food and should remain above 135°F, and not left out. Pathogens can get into there), I have also gotten drink that taste funky, and overall just not a restaurant up to standards. Even though it’s fast food and should have low standards, it doesn’t look even meet those low standards! But yea that’s all I have to say.
The maggots are one thing, but I'm highly suspicious about the earth worms. . .
I remember working for a fast food restaurant in my teen years. I was in charge of cleaning the soda fountains at night. After a whole day of using those machines they get pretty gross from the buildup of the syrup inside the nozzles. So imagine just letting them sit there for Days, even weeks! It’s disgusting and a health hazard!!
2:30 yeah but I kinda don't believe this.. this is a rain worm, which is unexplainable to me how it got there. They come from underground when it rains and unless it was brought with some pile of mud I don't know how could've happen. It would be more logical to find some sort of food related animal, like fruit worms which are commonly found in fruits and vegetables.
Why would I go to a McDonald's and buy there garbage to check. I think I'll pass. " How about Boycotting McDonald's all together.
Remember it’s not just McDonald’s, it’s any place assumed to have bad management
Honestly doesn’t surprise me if McDonald’s does this
Wait, health department gets a call about unsanitary food and the very next day they close the case saying that nothing was found? Kind of fast... Almost like they were paid to close the case fast? I can hardly believe such allegations would be settled so quickly. A couple of days investigation would seem more normal or am I wrong on this?
It seems like they are putting a blind eye to it. Im sure somethings going on.
@CreativeUnoriginals It's viable on short-term for the personal benefit of the person who's accepting the bribes. It's very possible that it's happening more often than we expect.
Very unlikely that it’s overstock as someone who works in fast food everything is dated on when to throw and if warehouses start sending expired food stores are quick to report that because if they don’t they get charged for it and if they report it they get a refund
Right, I had to laugh at that guy. Everything is dated, and wasted food is refunded by the supplier. This guy has clearly never worked food service.
Yeah we all keep a close eye on expiration dates where I work

Carry this on to any place where someone else cooks your food. It can happen anywhere 🤢
@@hmmmidk6690 oh I know, it’s just gross
As someone who works at a McDonald’s, I’ve had a shift where they had left the orange juice machine MOLD because it sealed shut from a spill. It took me and another coworker to pry it open with spatulas
My friends brother is a good friend of mine as well. He’s 18 and when he was 16 he worked at a Mc. Donald’s. Apparently his brother saw a worm in the deep fryer with some fries and had to remake them for the persons order. I believe it now.
I am scared of worms and this freaks me the heck out
Attention to those nozzles! As a McDonald’s night shift worker every night we clean the nozzles, that is 100% fault of the McDonald’s.
We take the nozzles off and soak them in water and then clean them at the sink and put them back in a small bucket to dry, the next day they are put back on by the morning shift.
This McDonald’s clearly doesn’t clean their nozzles.
For the rotten food with worms, as a kitchen worker I am required to make sure to notice if anything is wrong with our burgers and we would notice if they have worms when we cook them because they are not hand cooked.
We put the frozen patty’s on a grill and it cooks the pattys in a little under 60 seconds.
For the pie: As a person who has cooked pies before that pie should be frozen. At least at my location our pies, cookies, patty’s, fries, nuggets, chicken meat and fish fillets are cooked right out of the freezer.
So those worms and parasites are either put there on purpose by the people who filmed the video or they are put there by the workers.
This is just at my location and at my location we are required to clean the nozzles, the grill, behind the grill, the frozen drink machines, soda machines, coffee machines, ice cream machines and behind the frozen drink, ice cream, coffee machines and soda machines.
If you think it can be cleaned, we clean it, and yes, unfortunately, that includes the play place *shivers* luckily due to covid this hasn’t been an issue though.
where is your location
@@operator0101 That's personal information.
@@anonuser1279 ah i apologize for my insensitivity
thats not a maggot...thats an earth worm.
This is a complete sidenote, who tf comes to McDonalds every day for their kids?? I was also shocked about the parent who bought their two kids burgers for breakfast and two more for the afternoon. Clean or not that’s terribly unhealthy.
Unfortunately In some areas they don't have much choice like for example near sheppey train station the food in Tesco's prices have skyrocketed so I've had to start buying McDonald's instead because I can't afford to keep paying those prices just for some food
I was shocked by the mom who got Mcdonald for her 1 year old?? Like the heck?
Sure, you gotta do what you gotta do... but isn't that a bit young for McDonald's?
@@3amhellbeast technically no depending on where u are getting it from you can get baby freindly meals that are specifically made for young babies my sister has had to go to McDonald's to get one before because she was on the brink of homelessness and couldn't afford proper food it usually comes with liquidised foods and milk to help the baby digest it and not have to worry about chewing to much
Well, what my parents do is that we eat fast food maybe every 2 months? Or 3? Well I actually like my mother's home made food than fast food hehe
There’s a reason why I haven’t eaten McDonalds burgers since 2016
There was a Hardees where I used to live, my daughters friend worked there and they're were maggots in the shake machine!! They were being ground up as the machine was grinding them when the machine was turning the ice cream was blended. Til the regional mgr came in unexpectedly and checked the machines and found them and mold also!! He tore the machine down and told them they were not to sell shakes again!!
but are we gonna forget that the FDA allows maggots and maggot eggs, worms, insects etc in food we eat everyday? peanut butter? tomato sauce? coffee? rice? I could go on? everything is gross, let’s all starve together
I want to move to Europe for this reason.
There is a game called don't starve together now u make starve together
You maybe I should participate in Ramadan
Aussie McDonalds employee here..
Never had this issue over the 5-6years of working at my store..
All our burgers are raw before cooked on the grill or deep fryer.. After being cooked they are put in a pan/tray with a timer that says when the burgers are no longer allowed to be sold to customers..
Our drink nosals are assembled and disassembled every day/night and soaked ( same as our coffee machine )
Fast food stores and restaurants can get a little gross and sticky at times from all of the oil and syrups but I've never seen bugs at our store or anything contaminating our food or drinks..
Honestly these stores seem lazy and unhygienic.. They probably leave the burger patties in the trays for days just to get rid of product or if the store is quite busy they might cook tooo many patties and instead of wasting the patties they keep them in the trays to ' save the product ' or just because they couldn't care less about cooking new patties
i'm from the UK and never saw worms in any food i've ever had from maccies
Because in America the FDA let's us eat all kinds of food they don't care about our safety. Same thing with hygiene products and make up. They let companies load them with unsafe chemicals. For instance in the UK they only allow natural food coloring but here they let us eat food coloring in our food that's not natural and has been proven to effect brain activity. Our patties aren't even real on most of our burgers here at McDonald's. 😔
I was expecting you to say "when cooked on the barbie"
“We all have our guilty pleasure food”; NOT AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO 🤣
Ugh, this makes me want to avoid eating out anywhere ever again!
I seriously would NEVER beg for mcdonalds again. NOT worth it.
Found a WORM in the food and you’re gonna make up for it with $10 to get MORE WORMS??😭😭
I think it also partially happens depending where you are because we've never had any of these problems from any of the fast food restaurants I've gone to including McDonald's
Yea most mcdonalds are safe and good but there always one that is a little sketchy and that probably a few ate avoided.
Ok this is the perfect opportunity for a story...
So my mom's friend went to McDonalds with her kids and they got food there. They sat at the table, AND THERE WAS A COCKROACH INSIDE ONE OF THE BURGERS. There is evidence (we have photos). Not sure if we sued them or something but I don't like McDonalds unless I'm getting a cinnamon roll. I always get soggy, cold fries and thin cold patties. Never taste good :(
0 stars, McDonalds. You've done "great"
Some of those workers sadly just don't do their jobs how they are supposed to be and get paid.
Never known there were cinnamon roll at mcdonald
This is why you learn to do things yourself people
Actually the chicken/meat is moving because of muscle memory.
Oh come on.. Seriously, it is kind of funny that this only always happens in America, why don't we ever find something like that in Austria or Germany?
Because America has sh!tty food hygiene standards.
If you watch the whole video, they show incidents for all around the world so I’m not sure what you are going on about.
@@lizzyinhawaii5713 right
I think they fail to see it’s all part of McDonald’s special sauce. After all it is advertised so what’s the problem? 🤷♂️
You didn't watch the video then cuz the very first story was located in London England but you're probably one of those people who are awesome at geography so you think since both countries speak English they're probably American.
We live in a society where people are getting good paying job offers without any and I MEAN ANY INTERVIEW PROCESS WHATSOEVER, If you have a heartbeat and are a walking zombie 🧟♀️ you’re HIRED SO WHO IS REALLY TO BLAME?! When Morals are taken out of the interview process assuming everyone has them that’s where we started messing things up.
In turkey, Mickey d's its hygienic. America is kinda dirty.
@@bumb.wingman did you not watch the video? Over half of the stories were from other countries.
@@JM-mr6pz oh well, too lazy. But its clean here
@@bumb.wingman it’s not only in the U.S. it’s in London and other places
You need to be a GM or higher to get pay that's considered good at McDonald's.
I've had good experiences with McDonald's so far in all my life, but now I'm scared.
You should demonenitize mcdonalds then if something happens
I’ve worked at 3 different McDonald’s. Only 1 of them cleaned drink machines frequently. My last location I saw something gross in the water at the drive thru one and so I went to clean it. It was disgusting. I checked the cleaning log book, closing shift hadn’t cleaned it over 6 months. They said it was because we were under staffed, which we were because our owner didn’t want to hire people. The only thing getting done daily was mopping the lobby floor, cleaning the grill, and doing dishes. Our frappe machines hadn’t been cleaned more often than the drinks machine, anything that breaks easy or gets clogged easy always gets cleaned more than once a week cuz cleaning it is what fixes it.
Ice cream machine not cleaned, make me go to hospital 🤒
Worker’s negligence 100%. Those drink machines should always be cleaned but many people cut corners.
Im sorry but how is it even possible for earth worms to be in the food etc? I don't know about this.. Earth worms don't just randomly appear in food and such unlike maggots if it's unclean/old.
@@noxnoir Yeah something is not adding up with the earth worms, its just not their normal environment at all lol. Someone has to literally put them there
@CreativeUnoriginals Yuuuup!
Was it intentional :O
@@14.ghoullz Most likely. Maggots however comes from flies which lay their eggs in decaying food etc.
I once had pieces of hard blue plastic cooked into my McChicken sandwich. I took it back inside right away and they gave me a new sandwich and had me call their safety board and they sent me a few free food vouchers. Plastic is one thing, but if I ever found bugs I don’t think I could ever eat there again!
Dear god, I'm thankful that the McDonalds here in Canada I order from DoorDash is always sanitary and never have any creepy crawlies in the food
Same
6:50 that's not worm, that's maggot 🤢
I don't get how dirt worms get in there, the only choice that the creator of the video put it in there or the one who made the food, but they don't spam out of nowhere
Phew
Still going to McD cuz in my country it’s fine, I live in Europe. Never are there any problems never heard of such disgusting things in any fast food restaurants here. So it really depends where you live. Y’all take care 🙏
You're delusional if you think this doesn't happen in Europe. The person from London literally just showed maggots in his meal.
@@JM-mr6pz oh sure it happens in Europe that’s why I said in my country I just wanted to to clarify that I don’t live in America. I live in Germany
@@mewtou I live in spain
It still can be possible so just stay safe🤍!
Love you and Jesus loves you more 💕
I’m biting my nails. This sounds disgusting! But how many local fast food restaurants does this happen at? How often does this happen.
Probably ALOT
Just check your stuff before you eat
As a Mcdonalds manager we always have a main rule if you are not cooking then clean we always clean in the morning and when we don't have customers and closing time, this is disgusting
Not McDonalds too! Guess I will stick to cooking at home from now on!
Jeeze, making me want to work as a cleaner at mcdonalds so I know it's properly maintained. Guess I'm not willing to give up the fries or something. 😂
But in all seriousness, I hope mcdonanlds will properly look into this and see why it's even happening in the first place. Then actually try to fix it instead of saying they fixed it.
I never order my drinks with ice because I've had several people tell me that the ice makers don't get cleaned regularly. Moldy ice is not surprising. These other issues too, though 🤢
It depends on the franchise
@@M4el1n that's true. I don't think I'll take any chances though. And I don't drink sodas fast enough, so they get watery 🤣
Why the earthworms tho... those don't just show up or hatch out of fly eggs like maggots.
This is so confusing.
Not all McDonald’s have these unsafe foods. I live in Canada and no McDonald’s had any worms or bugs on my food. I’ve been eating at McDonalds for a long time, still nothing bad has happened
It's really bizarre that EARTHWORMS out of every type of contaminant to end up in a kitchen, don't you think someone's purposefully trying to sabotage McDonalds or something?
I can understand maggots but not earthworms 🪱 no way.
