McDonald’s is often recognized for its speedy service rather than its cleanliness. However, one recent incident in the McDonald’s parking lot in Hull, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom, has left a customer utterly disgusted and vowing to never return to the fast-food chain again. The customer, who chose to remain anonymous, was shocked to discover a swarm of rats thriving amidst the trash piled up inside a bin.
With a mixture of horror and disbelief, the customer snapped photos of the distressing scene and took to Facebook to share their alarming discovery. In a heartfelt plea to raise awareness, they wrote: “Feel free to share before someone gets seriously unwell!!! Rat for tea, anyone?! Well, to be precise, seven rats!! Talk about vermin control?! After seeing this , I will NOT be using McDonald’s on Holderness Road. A member of staff went and changed the bin bag without any PPE on and returned to the restaurant.”
The photos circulated rapidly on social media, sparking outrage and concern among local residents and McDonald’s patrons alike. The incident not only highlighted the issue of cleanliness and hygiene standards at the fast-food establishment but also raised questions about proper waste management and pest control measures.
