Doctor Jordan a mother and alleged professor of developmental psychology recently posted a video of an unconfirmed McDonalds playland area on Youtube. Jordan, at the beginning of the video stated that during a bathroom break, her son requested to use the playland in the McDonalds. Jordan had to accompany her kids because her daughter was underage. What she discovered was much more than the simple dirty floor or tubing. Fecal matter, old and rotting food and swear words and gang signs were amongst some of the things that this mother found while playing with her children.
Disgusted by the state of this playland Jordan allegedly reported the incident to a manager. Upon returning several times she found that nothing was changed. After continually reporting the issue to many different managers Jordan contacted McDonalds main offices and then the health department. She was told by both that McDonalds playlands fall under no such code to be kept clean and orderly.
Jordan than used her own resources to collect and examine the leavings in the tubes and floors. She found numerous amounts of bacteria that can be extremely lethal to children or anyone with a low or compromised immune system. Jordan now hopes to move her cause to the internet, posting the video of her findings as well as showing the playland. Jordan hopes that this will raise awareness of this and other McDonalds playlands and bring resolve to this issue.
Watch the video below.
Tell me what you think? Should all McDonalds have a code of cleanliness when it comes to their playlands or should parents just keep some extra disinfectant on hand? And should the Health Board be involved in matters such as these?
James, have you contacted McDonald’s Canada or Health Canada about their policies on the play areas? Just curious because this video was filmed in Arizona. I recently went on a tour of McDonald’s on North Front Street and the whole place was absolutely spotless, including the place area.
