The McDonald’s restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.

The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.

Trump, a big fan of McDonald’s food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were “nice and clean.” According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.

Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

    Well… add McDonalds to the growing list of companies that won’t be getting another cent from me.

      Probably not endorsed by the brand, but a move by the restaurant owner. McD is a franchise, which means McD is renting the brand to a company under some rules.

        If you let your dog off the leash and it proceeds to maul someone, YOU are liable, not the dog.

        If McDonalds is willing to rent its brand to shit people, it’s a shit brand. I don’t care what the official corporate stance is if that stance isn’t represented by the actual restaurants.

          I am not pro corporate - quite the opposite, I’d like to see this backfire. But if the restaurant owner behaved well up until this point I can’t blame the corpo who he signed the agreement with.

            True dat! Until then, I’d encourage everyone to vote with their wallets and abstain from purchasing so much as a french fry from McD’s. If they put out a meaningful response, adjust accordingly.

            Failing that, there are plenty of other options to source a salty heart attack.
