  1. They should change their sign to now say award winning “killer” shakes

  2. OMG cleaning shake and soft serve machines is very easy and just butt lazy for not doing it every 24 hours. They have to be sanitized. This laziness is beyond comprehension. Any food service that puts at least 3 deceased and 6 people in the hospital needs to be shut down for a thorough cleaning and reopening upon inspection. edit for spelling

  3. Stopped eating fast food 5 years ago.
    Lost 40 lbs.
    Lowered blood pressure.
    Lowered cholesterol .
    Hardly been sick.

    Don’t miss it a bit.

  4. I worked at a place that sold shakes and it was cleaned daily. Whatever shift I had I’d volunteer to empty it and clean it because it gave me a break from dealing with customers.

  5. I got super sick from a Milkshake I ordered at a McDonald’s. I was in the hospital for 16 days. The wife and I sued and we settled out of court. Then we tired in our mid 40s. However I would never want to go through that again.

  6. The kids (and adults) that work in these places pick their nose, don’t wash hands, god only knows what else?!?! HUGE PASS (on ANY fast food….plus, it’s TERRIBLE for you!!). 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

  7. Perishing of listeria in Tacoma. What a horrible demise.

  8. I haven’t ate put in a month, I cool all my own meals, I’ve never felt better !

  9. WHY are people still eating there ?

  10. They don’t clean the machine at all.

  11. Didnt know anything could really grow in cool places like that

  12. OH NO!!!! Another fast food chain I'll never get to try because it's not where I live ;_;

  13. So what happens to the families and friends of those affected by the deaths? I mean, death by negligence? What's the punishment? Is there no accountability? Just a Whoops?

  14. Give people 40 hrs a week and some benefits and they might care to do their jobs.

  15. If they're not cleaning the ice cream machines, what makes us think they're not cleaning all the other machinery in the restaurant? I say close the restaurant.

  16. AA hires can’t even get ice cream right

  17. Tacoma's Milkshakes brings people to the grave ?

  18. THREE WHOLE PEOPLE DIED AND THIS PLACE HASN'T SHUT DOWN??????

  19. And the workers want $20🤦🤦🤦🤦

  20. Shut them down. Three people died at least. My god.
