Reported by a worker at McD. Wtf, they're the group that would benefit the most from a change in the healthcare system. Idiot.

Or, and hear me out here, we can view this with a little sympathy: there's $60k in rewards for anyone who turned this guy in, and the person who did it makes peanuts at McDonalds.
Now, I don't know if I would do it, but I can completely and utterly sympathize why someone who makes poverty wages would turn class traitor for what almost certainly life-changing money.
Well then this person is a moron. They won’t see a dime. Maybe a pat on the head and a gift card from the dollar store.
Employee of the Month
With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald's location? Fired is more like it.
I don't think that McDonald's gives single fuck about review bombing
The corporation? Definitely not. But review bombing and boycotting will hurt the profits of that franchised location, and its owner certainly will.
Do people really look at or read reviews of McDonald's?
When you're an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.
Probably very few if any. Admittedly the outlier, I read Chipotle reviews because I've had too many of them give a time for pickup then proceed to dilly-dally for 20-30 mins past the time they gave me. Not cool. I'm happy to wait, but don't tell me it's going to be done.
You research reviews of McDonald where you are going to get burger? Really?
If I'm stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I'm not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald's when the competitor down the street is better.
You do not check the reviews before you go to McDonalds. Just quit.
And you do not speak for anybody other than yourself.
You're insane.
I'm not directing this at you personally when I say this, but what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea? Is it a foreign concept to treat franchized fast food places run by different franchisees as not equal? I'm not the only one who uses reviews to decide if I should skip a crappy location.
You people Buy burgers in Macdonald's?
I meant more like, that's the best accolade you may get as someone working for McDonald's. But yes, McDonald's absolutely has a reason to support the status quo in terms of corporate rule.
They'll let him order anything he wants off the dollar menu!
Which is really just a pack of fries, minus the fries at this point, becaues what store has a dollar menu anymore?
I don't. Might as well just be a cop if you think like that, plenty of room for bootlicking morons in that profession.
Here here. I'm poor as shit, got no insurance whatsoever, 60k would be somewhat life changing for me. I would never ever squeal on a comrade like that, even for millions.
Find out finds everyone
The downvotes on this really make me question my faith in humanity.
Neat how that works. Keep the populace poor and they become a wall to wall surveillance system for you. And people worry about technology…
Off-topic question: are rewards money taxable?
There's no reason for them not to be treated like any other income.
If I remember correctly, they can be anonymous. If that's the case, they wouldn't really be easily taxable. Still, we are talking about the government here, and if they tax lottery winnings, I would bet they tax rewards.
Simply a lack of class consciousness. America has worked hard since the rise of the USSR to topple workers power through union busting and destruction of community.
Basically we are built by our material conditions.
One doesn't have to go far to find a boot-licking class traitor who thinks if they run the rat race well enough they'll get a piece of cheese.
But to be fair to the McDonalds worker, the cash reward is designed to do just that.
$50k is 1-2 years pay for the person who reported him. For them, that short term relief was worth more than the highly improbable outcome where this man's actions actually impact their life in a positive way in the next few months. Money wins almost every time
I'm glad the rat will most likely get denied their pellet.
We can't tell you who squealed, but it was one of the dozen employees at this McDonald's. Probably the one that's going to change jobs soon...
I'd be pissed and scared if I was an employee at that McDonald's
America's working class has a long history of buying into propaganda and acting against their own interests. It's a huge reason why the medical industry has gotten so bad.
That being said, it's important to keep our anger focused on the system, not people who are getting suckered by it.
It pains me to see so many people ready and willing to beat up their Trump voting neighbor who fell for propaganda designed for them but not the Trump financing ceos
He had everything on him to get caught and convicted. I don't think he wanted to run forever.
Because they rely on "tips" , as the corporation is unable to pay a wage that is sufficient to support a basic standard of living. If only capitalist weren't so greedy they wouldn't be relying on the tips to survive.
I worked at McDonalds for a few years when I was younger. They didn't let us get tips.
Also worked there. There is no McDonald's that has ever allowed tips. It's against their corporate rules. I even saw an employee get written up for accepting a tip, once.
