A video posted online shows a Dunkin’ Donuts employee washing his bare feet in a kitchen sink behind the counter at a Staten Island Ferry outlet. The footage, recorded by a customer who noticed the activity while passing by the shop, is circulated online and has been reposted across social media platforms.

After the video spread, health officials respond by initiating a health probe of the establishment. Both outlets report that the incident prompts scrutiny over food-handling and hygiene practices in the ferry-based location, and that the clip also drives online debate about workplace conduct and customer safety. While the reports focus on the same core incident and its public reaction, they differ mainly in wording and emphasis, describing the act as “caught” or “vile,” and framing the subsequent response as a health investigation.

The reports do not provide details on any findings from the probe or on whether the employee faces disciplinary action.
