A McDonald’s employee from Missouri was caught on video sticking her hand down the back of her pants before serving French fries.
The TikTok video, which has been viewed 2.4 million times since December 14, shows a blonde woman in a McDonald’s uniform standing in front of the fry station while reaching down the back of her pants using her left hand.
She then took out her left hand, used it to scoop up some fries, and handed the fries over to the customer filming the nasty scene.
The disturbing video, which was shared by TikTok user Kelsey Kwiatkowski, was imagined as a joke or prank as it appears it was she who appeared on the video while the person is not a real customer.
However, the actions of the 21-year-old TikToker from Springfield, Missouri – sticking her hands down her pants during a shift, and then using that hand to touch the French fry station – are all real.
Kwiatkowski had responded to the outpouring of horror, saying the video was “a joke.”
“This video was taken in 2016, AS A JOKE!,” she said.
“We just closed everything for the night and had to take everything apart to clean it.”
When McDonald’s USA was contacted about the video, they said that the video had “resurfaced from years ago.”
“The individual in the videos has not worked for the restaurant since 2016.”
While the incident is arguably the most shocking and earned the most attention, this is not the first time she shared a video of herself misbehaving at work.
One of her videos shows how she openly smokes a cigarette while sitting in a booth inside the restaurant, while showing no concern for it being recorded.
In another video, she is shown standing on the counter with her shoes on as she danced.
