McDonald's Employee Allegedly Fired After Posting Pics of Moldy Trays

A former McDonald’s employee is claiming that he was let go from the fast food chain after posting photos of an ice cream machine that contain a large amount of mold. The 18-year-old Louisiana resident posted two photos that showed trays from the ice cream machine that were filled to the top with mold.
According to Buzzfeed, the employee said, “I tried to clean the machine after I spilled it, so I pulled [the trays] out from the side. I was completely shocked by what I saw. I thought it would be cleaned regularly.” The employee went on to say that no one on the staff at that location was ever instructed to clean the machines. Since then, a spokesperson from McDonald’s headquarters has issued a statement, saying, “This is a part of our soft-serve equipment that does not come into contact with any food and is required to undergo regular and timely cleaning.”
Despite knowing a company-wide policy that McDonald’s has barring employees from posting anything online that will, “undermine the goodwill, reputation, development and/or operation of its brand,” the employee still posted anyways and was fired not too long after.
