The video begins with an employee, in his uniform, allegedly cleaning the drain with what looks like a big frying net. In the video, what shocked us even more was the fact that the person seemed to ignore and continue with the job even after noticing someone filming the incident. We could see him covering the drain after cleaning it properly.
