Trump sported neither gloves not a hair net as he worked at a branch of the fast food chain in Pennsylvania

Earlier this year, this location didn’t meet the compliance requirements of the Bucks County Health Department. A health inspection in March at the Feasterville-Trevose location resulted in four violations, including citing employees not having their “hands clean & properly washed.”

“Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils. CFSM must review hand washing requirements with staff. Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in-between,” the health inspector wrote.

The report also noted a lack of hairnets: “Food workers are not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food. Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, that are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles.”

    The restaurant closed down for 30 minutes while Trump played dress up. It’s unclear if the branch’s workers were paid during that interim.

    Is it unclear though? I think we all know the answer to that.

    It’s not even a real job or even a shift, it’s a photo op and he looks like he’s about to collapse in all those photos.

        The MAGoos were trying to manufacture a scandal; they found one of Harris’s old resumes and tried to imply that she was ashamed of her roots. Supposedly, she should have put in her time at McDonalds on a professional resume. If that sounds like a weird overreach, it’s because it is a weird overreach

      Don Jr really can’t stop saying the dumbest things and making himself or whoever he’s talking about look worse in the process. I’d say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but I honestly think he’s actually even less aware than his dad.

    I think we should just forget talking about Turnip and just talk about Kamala Harris instead.

    Did you know her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist who arrived in the United States from India in 1958.

    It doesn’t matter, they’re voting for him anyway. The idea is to boost Kamala enough that planned nonvoters, vote.

    That’s all. That’s the point of the campaigning. One more shitty Trump thing on the shitpile of shitty things that have accumulated in 8yrs won’t change anything.

    What changes is convincing non voters to vote Kamala. And that happens by talking about Kamala, not Trump.

    Thing is, wearing gloves in the first place is part of the issue, it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

    Edit: Downvote all you want, I’ve got my training in hygiene and sanitary practices in a kitchen environment, you wear gloves, you don’t feel that your hands are dirty, you don’t clean them as often. Gloves should be worn when you hurt your hands, that’s it.

      it gives a false sense of cleanliness and makes people not wash their hands as often as they should.

      To expand in that. If someone wears gloves and touches e.g. raw chicken and then something else it’ll contaminate it and anything they’ll touch afterwards.

      People asking for gloves are usually misguided. As said, due to gloves they’ll not charge gloves or wash when needed. And that’s pretty often.

      Strangely there’s some huge craziness where there’s loads of comments that ask for gloves and think it’ll improve hygiene. While to me gloves indicate a poor hygiene understanding.

      Used to work in fast food.

      What you’re supposed to do is wash hands, new gloves, and when you need to change your gloves again (they even have a handy little poster that reminds you when!), you wash hands, put new gloves on.

      It’s… really not that hard?

        Posters are pretty much useless if you don’t feel that your hands are dirty

        My training is the one you get to work in a kitchen environment like a hospital.

          Isn’t that why you have training, and a manager to ensure proper steps are being taken?

          My manager took her job seriously, and if she came around and noticed you:

          A) weren’t wearing gloves B) weren’t keeping to the guidelines by changing gloves at the allotted time C) ESPECIALLY not washing your hands

          You’d get a verbal warning, write up for subsequent violations, and then fired for not being able to properly follow these simple guidelines.

          I don’t want your bare hands touching my food. Period.

          A hospital should be even more strict about these simple guidelines. Seeing you so vehemently against something as simple as gloves on top of washing your hands, makes me so glad I cook at home. Keep on, I guess. Who cares anymore, am I right?

            I don’t understand how you don’t get it…

            Gloves aren’t a sign of cleanliness or hygiene and people using their clean hands is much better than people wearing gloves and not cleaning often enough because they don’t realize their gloves are dirty. It’s that simple. It’s even you see cooks wearing gloves that you should be worried.

            weren’t keeping to the guidelines by changing gloves at the allotted time

            See, from the get go that makes zero sense! Cleaning isn’t based on time, it’s based on what you manipulated!

              I don’t understand why you are having such a hard time grasping such a simple thing as guidelines.

              A guideline, in this case, is something to follow, which all employees should do, to prevent any unnecessary contamination. Gloves are an extra precaution, on top of washing your hands properly, that minimizes the risk of contaminating the very food that someone else is going to be putting into their body.

              Gloves in a FOOD environment, alongside hair nets, are just a no brainer for someone that will be serving food to another human being. On the daily, I see motherfuckers who can’t even be bothered to wash their hands after using the restroom, and you expect me to see someone cooking food without gloves on, and continue to eat that shit???

              The allotted time is for when you haven’t gotten your gloves dirty, or at the very least not contaminated with other food stuffs. That means that if you get your gloves covered in the food you are prepping, you go and wash your hands and put on a new pair of gloves. Simple as hell, and promotes a healthy cooking environment. There are literally no downsides, just the ones you make up in your head.

      I don’t understand this obsession with gloves. When I worked at McDonald’s, we didn’t wear gloves. Do you wear gloves when you cook at home? Of course not. Just wash your hands.

        I don’t HAVE to wear gloves while at home (unless touching meat), because I know I’M the one washing my hands.

        There are so many people in this world that refuse to wash their hands after using the restroom, and you want them to touch your food bare handed??? These same people that might have pulled their phone out to reply or scroll on it for a minute? The same phone that is probably chock full of germs…?

        At least with gloves (especially those that put the gloves on before they prep your food), and proper management, you can at LEAST assume some sort of cleanliness.

        I uhh… I do sometimes wear gloves when cooking at home. Mainly for handling raw meat (especially mixing ground beef and such; helps keep it from getting underneath my nails). I’m still washing my hands after taking the gloves off, but they’re much easier to wash when they’re not coated in fat and raw meat juices

    When I worked at McDonald’s pretty much everyone wore hats but I will admit I didn’t always wash hands in between gloves with how dry it often made them. I will say that from the article that hat the guy is wearing is a genuine joke and he definitely should be covering that inch long beard
