The customer filming on his phone comments on how the cooked meat is being mixed with the raw meat.
“That’s disgusting,” the customer says. “That’s not how you handle meat.”

He has spoken to the owner of this shop.
“I already told the franchisee if he’s not going to fix his act I’m going to shut him down,” says Rana.
Lazeez has 52 locations in Ontario and this is the first time something like this has happened, he says. This particular location has been open for five years, he says.
He says the staff member in the video is a student and he has been fired. And he has asked the owner to have a staff meeting to review policies and procedures.
Lazeez Shawarma opened its first location in Mississauga in 2013.
