Complaint
On July 16, 2023, at approximately 2:30 to 3:00 pm we dined at McAlister’s Deli in Magee. As we were about to finish eating a young lady employed by the Deli began to clean the floors and tables. We observed that she would sweep under the tables and in the aisles with a broom and immediately take that same broom and sweep food and debris from the tables on to the floor. I told her that seemed to be nasty and unhealthy. She said they do that to clean the floors and tables. She said she always comes back and wipes the tables down. It seems that this practice puts the diners in jeopardy of being exposed to bacteria and other health hazards picked up by the broom on the floor and transferred to the table. I am sure it is not a safe food service practice or a common practice condoned by McAlister’s Corporate. I can only imagine that the kitchen and prep area must be as unsanitary as the dining area with this practice.
