Nach einem Wahlkampfauftritt von Donald Trump in einem McDonald’s-Restaurant in Pennsylvania hat der Fast-Food-Konzern klargestellt, dass er keine Wahlempfehlung für den republikanischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten abgebe. Die Einzelheiten. In einer Nachricht an seine Belegschaft teilte McDonald’s am Montag mit, der Betreiber des Restaurants in einem Vorort von Philadelphia habe Interesse bekundet, Trump einzuladen und die Konzernzentrale habe zugestimmt. Einer der zentralen Werte des Unternehmens sei: „unsere Tür steht jedem offen“, hieß es in der Nachricht von McDonald’s. Das Unternehmen habe aber nie Stellung im Wahlkampf bezogen und werde das auch diesmal nicht machen. Einige McDonald’S-Restaurants hätten auch Trumps Rivalin Kamala Harris, ihren Vizepräsidentschaftskandidaten Tim Walz und Trumps Vize J.D. Vance eingeladen. (…) Trump behauptet seit Wochen unentwegt, dass Harris sich das ausgedacht habe – Beweise dafür hat er nicht. Die „New York Times“ schreibt, dass McDonald’s Medienanfragen zu dem Thema ignoriert habe. Die Zeitung sprach eigenen Angaben nach mit einer Jugendfreundin von Harris, die sich daran erinnere, dass die heutige US-Vize bei der Kette gearbeitet habe

Donald Trump’s obsession with questioning Kamala Harris’ work experience at McDonald’s peaked over the weekend when he worked the fry cooker at a Pennsylvania branch — without a hairnet or gloves. McDonald’s workers have now given their verdict on the former president’s performance – and came away less than impressed. Trump has baselessly called his Democratic opponent’s summer stint at a McDonald’s “a lie,” so he decided to try his hand at the fast-food chain himself, shutting down a Bucks County restaurant to do so. While serving food through the drive-thru window and working the fry cooker, some have pointed out that he wasn’t taking proper precautions — at a location that has previously been cited for health code violations. 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.” This Sunday’s photoshoot of the former president captured him in a white button-down shirt, ketchup-colored tie and a blue apron with yellow stripes — but without gloves or a hairnet while working at the McDonald’s stop in the swing state.
