A man is seen washing his feet in front of a sink.

However, this place is a kitchen where donuts are made.

This footage was captured at a famous donut shop in New York, United States.

Below the employee washing his feet, a mat that appears to be an Islamic prayer rug is laid out, suggesting he may have been performing "Wudu," an Islamic ritual purification.

Wudu is a ritual of washing the hands, face, arms, and feet before prayer.

Controversy has erupted over hygiene concerns, not because of the religious ritual itself, but because he washed his feet in a kitchen sink where food is prepared.
