Anyone who thinks playgrounds are clean either doesn't remember being a kid or is seriously deluding themselves. But one Arizona mom is so fed up with the crap-tastic conditions at the playgrounds found at fast food restaurants that she's turned her summer vacation into a research project.
The mom, who is also a developmental psychologist, first came face to face with the pathogen farm that was her local McDonald's a few months ago when, after stopping for an emergency potty break, her kid asked to play on the big plastic slide.
Horrified by the unsanitary conditions at the McDonald's, she says she made several fruitless attempts to contact management. It wasn't until she posted a video (see below) detailing the horrors — complete with lab results showing all sorts of bad stuff — that McDonald's HQ responded.
well then, how about she cleans them up? no? fine, dont go to the fast food joint either that or dont let your kids play there when you do go. see? she has lots of options!
ReplyDeleteI think you missed the point.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder why kids are so sick these days they don't build up an immune system.i know when i was little my mom didn't follow me around with wet wipes, lysol, and anti-bacterial sanitizers. Gosh i used to eat gum off the sidewalk!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to keep the playground cleaned then get rid of it. Shouldn't that be included in the duties schedule. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead girl. Show them what you can. We are all with you. Never give up. I fought for a new playground in my neighborhood last year and I won the "crusade" against the city hall and their parking lot. Move Out Cleaner.
