      Every single article I’ve found states the snitch is an employee. Where have you seen it being said it’s actually a customer?

      I saw reports that it was an elderly customer but another report that it was an employee.

    C’mon y’all. You know if you go to a non-chain Latino restaurant nobody’s calling the cops.

    I thought this was a useless red circle situation.

    It’s just the handle for the condiment basket.

    The fact the snitcher worked at McDonald’s is completely irrelevant. Corporate didn’t make them do it. That person doesn’t represent the entire company and their views. It’s just a fuckin person. They could have recognized him, smiled to themselves and moved on and McDonald’s would never have known a thing about it.

      I don’t know how it works where you are from, but it seems reasonable to assume team membership when you wear their costume, get compensated by them, and perform tasks on their behalf to further enrich said team.

        do you work for minimum wage?

        I don’t think anyone is completely devoid of responsability for the work they do, no matter how alienated. but I also think the share of responsability goes up with salary - if you have more options then you have more choice

          I would argue that the lower your salary, the more choice you have in where you spend your time to earn it. Let’s not skip past the fact that working at McDonald’s is not mandated, and there are not job assignments doled out to people with their birth certificate. A choice was made, and the rest follows.

              Of course, but you are being obtuse in moving away from your original argument. Otherwise, why not just get a higher paying job instead of minimum wage lololol. Discarding that, it’s an obvious fact that there are fewer job opportunities at higher wage classes as you proceed up through them, so my point to your diversion stands.

      I asked for vegetarian options at a McDonald’s once. They offered a tomato sandwich. They rang up a hamburger, no meat, add tomato, which means they charged me for the tomato even though they saved the cost of the beef.

      Yeah

      McDonald’s (US), Burger King (US), Papa John’s (US), Pizza Hut (US), WIX (Israel), etc. are now being targeted in some countries by grassroots organic boycott campaigns, not initiated by the BDS movement. BDS supports these boycott campaigns because these companies, or their branches or franchisees in Israel, have openly supported apartheid Israel and/or provided generous in-kind donations to the Israeli military amid the current genocide. If these grassroots campaigns are not already organically active in your area, we suggest focusing your energies on our strategic campaigns above.

          The app is nice too (No Thanks) you just need to scan the barcode to check if something is on the boycott list. Pretty sure it’s on both Android and iOS
