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.

With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald's location? Fired is more like it.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think that McDonald's gives single fuck about review bombing

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

When you're an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have never looked at the reviews for a fast food franchise. They're all much the same, which is kinda the point.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The food and ingredients are the same, but the quality can vary a lot depending on how bad of job they do cooking it. When you've been disappointed enough by buying dry and borderline-burned breakfast, you stop trusting that all locations are equal.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You research reviews of McDonald where you are going to get burger? Really?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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 people Buy burgers in Macdonald's?

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Way ahead of you.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 7 points 1 week ago

that person might get 60k...

maybe because of this circle jerk, regime will pay out to prove a point.

but there is a lesson in this discussion folks.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Neat how that works. Keep the populace poor and they become a wall to wall surveillance system for you. And people worry about technology…

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Off-topic question: are rewards money taxable?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

There's no reason for them not to be treated like any other income.

[–] FindME@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 week ago

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.
