Totally disgusting!
When the counter lady brought my breakfast, I refused it and asked for my money back. She asked why, I told her. She turned to the lady who originally made the sandwich, said something to her in Spanish and the lady made me another sandwich, using the tongs this time.
I asked to speak to the manager, related what had happened and the evidence that they were hiring illegals since the worker could not speak English. I then asked for the corporate contact information.
Over the next few months, I tried various MCDONALD'S® around Houston. It was always the same. The workers used their bare hands instead of the tongs.
Do they have an issue with 1) following directions and 2) using tongs?
Then in March 2007 I went to Yucatan, Mexico to see the Mayan ruins. The ruins were magnificent but what I learned there about the hygiene (or rather NON-hygiene) practices of the locals, was shocking and stomach-turning.
(I have vowed to NEVER return to any country south of Texas again!)
Where we went one morning (a Catholic Church) so I could use the facilities was appalling. (No, I didn't use their restroom.) No toilet seats, no toilet paper, exterminate and urine on the the toilets and the floor, no running water and forget soap..what's that? I have seen gas station restrooms, run by middle easterners, cleaner than what I found in the Yucatan (except where the tourist gather). And this is just one example I am writing of, to spare the reader, there were MANY other examples as we were there 10 days, and in several different locations.
These people have NO CONCEPT of personal hygiene, or at least none that I saw.
So, now here comes an invasion of illegals into the USA, most probably from the smaller villages where the income is less, they steal the jobs our teens and elderly use to be able to get (mostly fast food but the trade & crafts jobs have "gone south" as well). They make our food and I'll bet my bottom dollar they aren't washing their hands!
Recently I went into a MCDONALD'S® as I was traveling with another who wanted to stop and we were not in Houston. I noticed the gal wearing clear gloves. I guess someone within MCDONALD'S® finally got the message.
This morning I get a post in my email that MCDONALD'S® is now sponsoring the National Council of La Raza!
MCDONALD'S® ANNOUNCED AS TITLE SPONSOR OF THE 2009 NCLR ANNUAL CONFERENCE
This is my official position on the issue and I ask that every red-blooded AMERICAN and TEXAN search their hearts to join with me, I AM DONE WITH MCDONALD'S®. There are just too many other fast food places to grab a burger or salad, or kids meal...I will not support a company, WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT THE AMERICAN WORKER!
And if I witness the same practices at the other locations, I'll stop visiting there as well.
Just an FYI,at my most recent visits to Wendy's, Jack-in-the-Box and Popeye's, I saw no Hispanics other than those who, when they spoke, spoke perfect English. I am again guessing they are Americans of Hispanic descent.
