America runs on Dunkin’ Donuts … but customers of one particular store may want to run somewhere else to buy coffee — because an employee was caught washing their feet in the sink.<\/p>\n

Here’s the deal … a TikTok video went viral earlier this month after a horrified customer filmed a man washing his feet in the sink of the chain’s Staten Island Ferry\u00a0location.<\/p>\n

Check out the clip … this dude is rubbing his hands all over his feet — just around the corner from where thirsty customers order their morning pick-me-up.<\/p>\n

The New York City Department of Transportation tells TMZ it’s investigating the video … and the New York Post<\/a> reports the city Health Department is also involved.<\/p>\n

Adding another wrinkle to the situation … some online think this may be wudu — an Islamic practice where Muslims wash their hands, face, arms and feet\u00a0as an act of purification before prayer.<\/p>\n

The NYC Health Department states that food service workers can’t wash their feet in any sink within the establishment … each sink has a specific purpose — and none of them are for washing feet.<\/p>\n
