Complaint
My family and I stopped at this McDonald's on our way through to new Orleans. We ordered our food and while we were fixing our drinks at the self service drink station we noticed a black substance on the ice machine. Upon further review we realized that the substance was indeed mold. Not just the kind of mold that is just mold but the furry kind that tells you it has been there for quite some time. Once we got our food my daughter returned to the counter to get more sauce for her nuggets and when the cashier handed my daughter the sauce it too was covered in mold. This tells me that there is a lack of priority in the cleanliness or in the health of this particular McDonald's consumer. Having been a manager in the restaurant field in the state of ms, I am fully aware of the states requirement for operational cleanliness. Also, being serv safe certified I am also aware of the illness that mold can cause as well as the spores that are released into the air from this type of long term growing mold. I don't usually report things that could be an oversight but this was more than just oversight. Thank you for all that your representatives do for the health of our state.
