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."

Don Jr then boasted: “I think my father knows the McDonald’s menu much better than Kamala Harris ever did.”

Yeah I'm sure he does, you fucking dumbass

[–] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago

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 the only reasonable response to that quote would be: “Weird flex but ok…”

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago

Not the flex he thought that was lol

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 63 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Like that’s some kind of flex

He also knows way more about cheating on wives, wanting to fuck his daughter, getting millions of people killed, bankrupting a casino, being impeached, losing the popular vote twice in a row, and being convicted of felonies than Kamala or even most Americans. Y'all should brag about that, too.

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.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 21 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

That's an uplifting fact. Tell me more!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

As the San Francisco district attorney and the attorney general of California, Harris was the first woman, the first African American, and the first Asian American to hold each office.

[–] undercrust@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

More, more!

I hope they made sure he had a fresh diaper before that stunt.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 54 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

It really comes down to what bubble they happen to be a part of.

[–] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 35 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think Trump could pass McDonald's background check, being a convicted felon

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

He couldn't make it through orientation with his shit attention span.

[–] Supervivens@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Good for the workers.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 hour ago

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.
