Judging by this video, it wasn’t exactly a “happy” meal.
A McDonald’s customer who apparently received an incorrect order got physical with employees, using a “wet floor” sign and a pole as weapons. Note: the World Star video is NSFW for language.
The specific location where this occurred has yet to be identified.
The footage, which doesn’t seem to depict exactly what led up to the confrontation, seems to otherwise be self explanatory perhaps.
According to The Blaze , “It’s unclear what exactly set him off (the video description claims the McDonald’s employees got his order wrong), but whatever it was sent a man into a rage inside a McDonald’s… The people recording the altercation seem to revel in and support the violence.”
The upset customer appears to exit the restaurant before police arrived.
As The Inquisitr has previously reported, this hardly the first incident in which customers have lapsed into fast-food rage when they evidently stopped lovin’ it, although most — but not all — of these outbursts seem to occur at the drive-thru.
In May, for example, police arrested a South Carolina woman who allegedly threatened to shoot up a Burger King over a stale Cinnabon roll . In February, a Michigan woman who twice received the wrong fast-food order allegedly fired a shot at the McDonald’s drive-thru window. Previously, a man smashed the drive-thru window with an axe when he received cold French fries. Separately, a Dunkin’ Donuts employee was pistol whipped after he made a mistake on a drive-thru order. Elsewhere, a man suffered a “meltdown” at the drive-thru window when he received a cheeseburger rather than a hamburger. In November, a man allegedly groped a female Arby’s drive-thru worker as she handed him his food at the window. Police managed to apprehend the man by following a trail of curly fries and sauce.
There has been a lot of talk about raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers among others, although most already get paid at a higher rate than the federal or state hourly minimum. Whether the compensation is enough is another matter. Some restaurants are even installing touchscreen kiosks to replace human cashiers .
Given these violent incidents, do you think it might be getting to the point where fast-food employees should be eligible for hazardous-duty pay?
