>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 Matewele 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.
A screen at one branch was found to have staphylococcus, a bacteria that can cause blood poisoning and toxic shock syndrome. Dr Matewele said: ‘Seeing Staphylococcus on these machines is worrying because it is so contagious.
>‘It starts around people’s noses, if they touch their nose with their fingers and then transfer it to the touchscreen someone else will get it, and if they have an open cut which it gets into, then it can be dangerous.
Metro.co.uk’s study with the university’s school of human sciences involved swabs taken from eight McDonald’s restaurants. Six in London and two in Birmingham.
Listeria bacteria was found in Oxford Street and Holloway Road branches. It can cause listeriosis which can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women. Dr Matewele said: >‘Listeria is another rare bacterium we were shocked to find on touchscreen machines as again this can be very contagious and a problem for those with a weak immune system.’
Dr Matewele said: ‘Proteus can be found in human and animal faeces. It is also widely distributed in soil. It can cause urinary tract infections and is also one of the hospital acquired infections where it may responsible for septicaemia.
McDonald’s does clean the screens with disinfectant but Dr Matewele said it ‘could not have been strong enough.
I frequently use my hand to wipe my ass then use my unwashed shit hand to order touch screen McDonalds. Is this a problem?
Jose Evans
That's what they get for letting in so many people from the India(n subcontinent).
Oliver Barnes
I never use those machines, even when they have a girl there trying to persuade people. Ill handle my faeces in cash, thank you very much.

You can find traces of feces on literally everything in your house. What do you think happens when you fart? Traces of fecal particles fly out. When you flush your toilet? Traces of feces get sent flying everywhere. Just wash your fucking hands before you eat and use your elbow/sleeve to pop the door open.
William Garcia
Wtf I love McDonald's now!
Xavier Peterson
I'm not surprised, plenty of people don't hold themselves to basic hygiene standards. At my workplace a good number of people don't even wash their hands before they eat despite working in a warehouse. How much bacteria do you imagine is on a random door handle anywhere?
They deserve it for eating fast food anyway though the fat bastards.
Carter Brooks
1 in 10 people don't wash hands after using toilet Of those that do, 1 in 3 do not use soap. The vast majority of those don't wash long enough. There is shit everywhere.
big fucking deal. our ancestors used to play in dirt, butcher killed animals, shit in holes and so forth. Germaphobes are the fucking worst and deserve the death penalty

Kraut expat?

Oh blow it out your ass you fucking retards. You need to expose yourself to this shit in order to have a strong immune system. Unless you plan to live your life in a plastic bubble you're going to come in contact with bacteria.
Austin Edwards
>Poo found on every McDonald's touchscreen tasted wait...
kek i love how niggers start punching shit when they don't understand it if you've ever watched a gorilla look at itself in the mirror this is the same shit
Joseph King
>eating fast food prepared by pissed off niggers recently I have been doing wifi upgrades at McShitholes - I knew it would be dirty but holy fuck - its absolutely beyond disgusting
Ryder Carter
Good one, Pajeet.

British Raj is beautifull raj means paradise in Polish btw
Everyone's a pussy these days. Perhaps challenging your immune system makes it strong instead of cowering in feer because of some particles your eyes can't even see.
I think a lot of us westerners forget to wash our hands because we've gotten used to the luxury of antibiotics.
Matthew Lewis
It's the UK. Muslims dude.
Jayden Barnes
What is the point of using soap? Hot water is enough.
Brandon Mitchell
>Is this a problem? no only niggers eat mcdonalds. and only double niggers go INSIDE mcdonalds
Angel Jones
Corona feces
Noah Butler
This isn't surprising. You will find the same on everything people touch all day, like the money in your pocket. I realized people are disgusting when I was just a little kid. It's just the way it is.

I mostly go to rural McDonald'ses at highways or main roads, where it's almost exclusively white workers. I never got sick from the food. This doesn't necessarily mean it was handled in a hygienic way but when I lived in The Hague I got a big mac at a McDonald's in the center where almost only niggers and other garbage works and the day after I had a sore throat (as in, the beginning of a cold). I can never be sure it was even related but it was the only time in my life I could expect something was wrong and I've been going to McDonald's for over 3 decades (not regularly but it must be over 100 times by now).
My ex girlfriend got something from a Turkish bakery nearby and got so ill she needed antibiotics.
Jason Cox
I don't wash my hands until I get the order paid and ready, by the time I come back from taking a shit of my own the food is ready. If you're not doing this you're doing it wrong, you been eating nigger shit forever
>bongs don’t wash there hands Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the shit
John Ramirez
It's just something you have to accept cause you can't do anything about it. If you start worrying about what goes on in restaurant kitchens (OK, with the exception of a restaurant that has Michelin star(s) maybe), you won't eat anywhere anymore.
Matthew Hernandez
Hardly anyone washes properly anyway. If you have finger nails long enough for shit to accumulate under it, you need to wash that too. But even if you do that and you work for instance at McDonald's and clean up some assholes table cause he left everything, chances are you will have bacteria on your hands again. Shit is everywhere.
Bacteria gets killed by how hard your scrub while washing your hands.
Juan Reed
please elaborate

That what happens if you outsource your software development to India

As a turk, i want to remind you that if god liked arabs he would not have put you in a fucking desert, don't compare us with you fucking camel fucker, you're dirtier than any other country on this earth
Evan Turner
100 °C water should do the trick, but that's a bit painful. Average soap isn't good either, you need something that actually kills bacteria, not just get sweat, dirt, grease, whatever from your hands. Using normal soap is still better though. It will probably get most bacteria off.

Uh hello? Based department?

God doesn't exist, but you're retarded as a people to be traveling all over the world and then still settle in the desert.

Honestly, If i was dutch i would also have lost faith in god, that's okay bud

It is the UK, Europe. Yas Forums will blame on foreigners and refuse to acknowledge their own peoples problems.
Had it been Asia, Africa or Latin America Yas Forums would blame the local population. But since it is an European country, Europeans dindu nuffin.

I worked in mail sorting over Christmas. My hands would be black by break time. No-one else washed their hands before eating.
