David Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Traces of faeces have been found on every single McDonald’s touchscreen swabbed in an investigation by metro.co.uk. Samples were taken from the new machines that have been rolled out at restaurants across the country – every one of them had coliforms. Senior lecturer in microbiology at London Metropolitan University Dr Paul Matawele said: ‘We were all surprised how much gut and faecal bacteria there was on the touchscreen machines. These cause the kind of infections that people pick up in hospitals.

Boycie Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Well they’ve done it now, because they’ve redesigned all counters with only limited tills and all these poo and piss screens. Have a nice die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't expect them to wash the screen after every use. I do question their thought process in installing these, did hygiene not come up? They should have gone down the same path as Wetherspoons, allow customers to order and pay through an app whilst leaving the traditional counters for those that are not into technology. Could even order and pay for your food before arriving, in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it nice as possible for the next person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yeah but it’s a bit like when you get reports that the stop button at a crossing is the dirtiest thing you can touch and your first thought is ‘that’s DISGUSTING’ but when you think about it and it’s not really surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Order it from the app. I don’t eat it,it’s utter poo but the lads like it. Unless we’re going to stop mixing with other human beings this will happen,public transport,shopping trolleys,cinema,pubs etc etc,all covered in poo.

The air FFS. Bacteria is everywhere - It's what your immune system is for. Is there any evidence of anyone falling ill from a McDonalds screen?. Of course not. A couple of years ago, a client of mine was developing a technology to sanitise the cloths you see them cleaning coffee shop milk steamers with. He had all the evidence of the presence of loads of types of bacteria on these cloths - and in high concentrations - but he failed to get any investment or funding because there was no evidence whatsoever that anybody had actually been harmed by it. I lived on a farm for 25 odd years and I never had allergies until I moved out into my own "clean" house. Anti-bacterial wipes etc should be banned. A bit of muck does you good.

David Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 You go to McDonald’s to eat though, make your order then minutes later digging into fries. Holding on in the bus or the tube after fat Harry has been on scratching his anus is a little different. ”Wash your hands before you eat” all Mum’s remind you of that surely? Of cause you have bacteria in public places, you need a little in you for your body to handle. Going squeaky clean can actually be dangerous but still, not sure public touch screens in fast food restaurants is the way to go. People fall ill all the time and spread infections, would be difficult to follow the trail, but would not surprise me if these screens play their part with the fingers to mouth action.

Not banned - but you're right, there is a real danger in over-sanitising stuff. They should at least educate people properly as to when and where they should be using anti-bac products and what the effect is. What next? Anti-bacterial gut wash, that kills all the bacteria in your digestive system? Let me know how that one goes for you clean freaks! Back on topic though - worse than the ordering screens at McDs are the flippin' kiddie tablets that they put on some of the tables. Who thought it was a good idea to let kids use shared touch screens whilst eating greasy food with their fingers? Utterly mingin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Those machines are fantastic. No having to queue, no having to engage with the staff. Just put in your order and come back in 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I expect that the general standard of hygene, from the customer side, in any 'fast food' outlet is poor. People can't even throw the wrappings in the bins provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
