A teenage McDonald's worker says he was fired after posting photos of "disgusting" conditions at the restaurant where he works.

The worker, named Nick, shared photos on Twitter of a tray from the LaPlace, Louisiana store's ice cream machine that was caked in a moldy-looking substance, and the photos went viral with more than 30,000 retweets and "likes."

Last week, Nick was fired from the restaurant, he told Buzzfeed.

"They banned me from that McDonald's," he said, adding that the restaurant's managers asked him to delete the tweets.

In an e-mailed statement to Business Insider, the owner of the LaPlace McDonald's said the restaurant has a long history of passing regular health department inspections.
