People had mixed responses after the shocking video was shared online<\/h2>\n

A video shared online appears to show a McDonald’s staff member using a heat lamp intended to keep food warm to instead dry the head of a mop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’ve ever visited a\u00a0McDonald’s<\/a>\u00a0restaurant, you’ll probably be familiar with the sight of fries, burgers and nuggets nestled under various heat lamps, just waiting to be selected for a meal.<\/p>\n

It’s usually quite a comforting sight, knowing the warm, salty\u00a0food<\/a>\u00a0is there ready to satisfy your cravings, but a new video might make you feel differently.<\/p>\n

The clip was posted to a\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page called Subtle Bogan Hints after allegedly being filmed at a McDonald’s restaurant in Booval, Ipswich, approximately 18 miles south-west of Brisbane,\u00a0Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The video shows the familiar sight of cooked french fries stored in a metal container, with bags of packed fries stored on a shelf just above them.<\/p>\n

A heat lamp blazing overhead was meant to be keeping the food hot, but someone dressed in a McDonald’s uniform was apparently instead using the warm light to dry off the head of a detachable mop.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear what the mop had been used for prior to being put under the lamp, but whatever it was, you probably wouldn’t want it dripping on your fries.<\/p>\n

The video quickly gained attention after being shared on the Facebook page, with many viewers joking about the sight.<\/p>\n

“The old McMop is back! Must be limited time-only – get in while they are hot,” one light-hearted comment read.<\/p>\n

Other viewers, however, weren’t so nonchalant about the issue.<\/p>\n

The employee was accused by one person of being ‘brainless’ for using the lamp to dry the mop, while another comment described the restaurant as a whole as ‘filthy’.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s has since responded to the footage to make clear that it is handling the matter seriously.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the fast-food restaurant told the MailOnline the company takes food safety ‘extremely seriously’ and that strict cleaning and hygiene procedures should be followed in all restaurants.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson went on to say that the company had addressed the matter of the video with the restaurant in which it was filmed.<\/p>\n

“[We have] conducted thorough re-training for all employees on McDonald\u2019s sanitisation, hygiene and food safety procedures,’ they said.<\/p>\n

“This was an isolated incident, and we will continue to work with the restaurant to ensure this does not happen again.”<\/p>\n

Daily Mail Australia has reported that McDonald’s management have spoken to the staff member featured in video, but that she will keep her job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
