JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Burger King is retraining workers in a Florida franchise after an employee was caught on video cleaning a table with a floor mop.
Disgusted customer Katie Duran shared her video with News4Jax, complaining that she had just eaten on the same table.
A Friday apology from the fast food chain condemns the employee's actions as unacceptable.
The TV station reports that records show the same Burger King location in Fruit Cove was cited for eight violations in February, including moldy kitchen vents, dirty food freezers and people working without hair nets.
A Burger King spokesperson released the following statement to News4Jax:
"The action depicted in the video is unacceptable and not in line with our brand standards or operational procedures. We have strict protocols around cleanliness and food safety. The restaurant owner will be re-training his team on all operational protocols."
