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

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.

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

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.

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 5 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…

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.

[–] maplebar@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

$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

Idiot yes but we can't be too harsh on the pedon... so much education needs to be done, and these recent events is a good time for outreach and education.

Unity is the message. Luigi did the hard work, least the plebs can do it show some solidarity.

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.
