  • McDonald’s Employee Tackles Teen to the Ground and Chokes Her for Going Behind the Counter too Get Ranch Dressing

    McDonald’s Employee Tackles Teen to the Ground and Chokes Her for Going Behind the Counter too Get Ranch Dressing

    A McDonald‘s employee in Florida reportedly choked a 17-year-old girl to the ground after the teen allegedly went behind the counter to get her own ranch dressing, according to police statements cited by the NY Post.

    Akeena Sampson, 31, was on duty at a St. Petersburg McDonald’s on April 4 when she “knowingly or willfully” assaulted the teenager, as reported by the Miami Herald. The girl had reportedly gone behind the counter to grab some ranch after the staff did not assist her, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the paper.

    As the girl was walking away, Sampson grabbed her arm and began to attack her. The teenager attempted to break free, but Sampson then seized her neck, “choking her and taking her to the ground,” police said. Sampson is alleged to have continued choking the girl while she was on the floor, leaving her with “visible injuries” on her neck and elbow, as stated in the affidavit. 

    Authorities also reviewed video footage that reportedly captured the entire incident. Sampson was arrested on a charge of child abuse without great bodily harm. Records from Pinellas County indicate that she was held on a $2,500 bond but has since been released, according to Fox News. A spokesperson for McDonald’s USA confirmed that they are aware of the situation and have placed Sampson on administrative leave while an investigation is conducted. “We do not tolerate violence of any kind in our restaurants,” the chain said in a statement.

  • Anti-Israel QR Codes In NYC Promote ‘Free’ McDonald’s and Starbucks, But Redirect Customers To Disturbing ‘War Crime’ Videos

    Anti-Israel QR Codes In NYC Promote ‘Free’ McDonald’s and Starbucks, But Redirect Customers To Disturbing ‘War Crime’ Videos

    Fake QR code stickers are appearing throughout New York City, misleading people into thinking they offer discounts and giveaways, but instead, they link to disturbing videos of injured children and anti-Israel messages, as reported by The Post.

    This strategy is part of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which advocates for boycotting companies perceived to support Israel. The Post discovered these stickers being placed at various chain restaurants and shops in Midtown this week. One QR code found at a McDonald’s on Sixth Avenue directed users to a flyer accusing the fast-food chain of

    “war crimes”

    and

    “McGenocide”

    for supplying meals to the Israel Defense Forces.

    “Hitting BDS targets including Starbucks, McDonald’s and Zara across 68 storefronts in Manhattan neighborhoods, activists enticed shoppers with coupon codes offering discounts and freebies,”

    a video from the group NJ PalAction explained.

    NJ PalAction is urging its social media followers to contribute to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) or the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF), both of which have alleged connections to terrorist organizations. Those who can show evidence of their donation will receive PDFs to create the misleading stickers at home, which they can then distribute throughout the city.

    New Yorkers are particularly troubled by the possibility of children encountering these messages.

    “This is part of a continuing campaign to shock New Yorkers and to disrupt New York with nothing less than Jew hatred,”

    said Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at The Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred. 

    “They’re spreading disinformation that’s causing real harm,”

    he added. Filitti also pointed out the legal concerns surrounding the vandalism of private property and the unauthorized use of intellectual property.

  • Memphis Woman Stabs Customer in McDonald’s Drive-Thru Meltdown

    Memphis Woman Stabs Customer in McDonald’s Drive-Thru Meltdown

    The Memphis Police Department is investigating a violent altercation that occurred at a McDonald’s drive-thru, leaving one customer injured and another facing serious charges.

    Ashley Davis, 25, has been charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest after allegedly stabbing a customer in the face with a screwdriver during a confrontation at the fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru on Wednesday evening, WLBT reports.

    According to authorities, the incident took place at a McDonald’s, where an argument between Davis and the victim escalated. Witnesses at the scene reported hearing shouting before the situation turned violent.

    “I was in the line behind them when I saw the commotion,” said Jennifer Morgan, an eyewitness. “It was just a typical night until it wasn’t. They were yelling, and then it just got out of hand.”

    Police say Davis wielded a knife and stabbed the victim, whose identity has not been released. The injured customer was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover.

    The motive for the altercation remains unclear.

    Davis is currently being held at the Shelby County Jail. Her bond has not yet been set, and she is scheduled to appear in court later this week.

  • McMix-Up? Civil Rights Group Determines McDonald’s Employees Deliberately Served Pork to Muslim Student Who Ordered Fish Filet

    McMix-Up? Civil Rights Group Determines McDonald’s Employees Deliberately Served Pork to Muslim Student Who Ordered Fish Filet

    In a recent ruling, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) determined that a McDonald’s franchise in Chicopee, Massachusetts, likely served a Muslim child pork in what may have been an act of discrimination.

    The incident involved Ghadir Alahmar, who wears a hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf, and who visited the McDonald’s location in 2021 with her 7-year-old son, intending to order him a Filet-O-Fish sandwich, Law & Crime reports.

    According to the MCAD report, Alahmar had specifically ordered the fish sandwich due to religious dietary restrictions that prohibit the consumption of pork in Islam.

    However, when her son bit into the sandwich, he discovered it contained bacon instead of fish. Alahmar, shocked and concerned, later filed a complaint with MCAD, asserting that the restaurant disregarded her order’s specific nature and the religious implications of the error.

    “It’s upsetting and deeply disrespectful,” Alahmar told local news outlets. “We took careful steps to ensure my son’s food was in line with our beliefs, only to find it completely disregarded. My son was hurt, and it left me feeling devalued as a customer and a mother.”

    Following an investigation, the MCAD concluded that the evidence suggested McDonald’s employees may have knowingly ignored the request and served a pork item regardless. “This is more than a mix-up,” an MCAD spokesperson explained. “The evidence points to potential intentional disregard for this family’s beliefs and rights, which cannot be overlooked.”

    For now, Alahmar and her family hope the case brings about change in customer care. “No one should go through this,” she said.

    “We just want respect for all families and their beliefs.”#Clique, those McDonald’s employees play tew much!

  • Lawsuit O’clock: McDonald’s E.Coli Outbreak Leaves Many Injured In Several States And One Dead; 33 Victims Set To Sue

    Lawsuit O’clock: McDonald’s E.Coli Outbreak Leaves Many Injured In Several States And One Dead; 33 Victims Set To Sue

    The U.S Centers For Disease Control and Prevention have released new info about McDonald’s E. Coli. Per L.A. Times, the CDC confirmed that in Colorado, more than twenty people have been rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, two have been diagnosed with kidney complications. Unfortunately, one victim succumbed to their health issue, giving up the ghost. This state has recorded about 29 cases of E. coli victims altogether.

    Onions on McDonald’s Quarter Pounders Suspected in E. Coli Spread—90+ Affected!

    Meanwhile, the next state that comes close in the number of victims is Montana at 17, followed by Nebraska with 12 cases. Others include Missouri,8, Utah,7, Wyoming,5, New Mexico,5, Michigan, 2. On the other hand, states like Wisconsin, Kansas, Iowa, Oregon, and Washington all have one case each. About 33 of all victims decided to pursue a lawsuit against McDonald’s following the E. coli outbreak.

    One of the heartbreaking cases includes a 15-year-old diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome. The teenager Kamberlyn Bowler from Colorado has been under doctor’s supervision. According to her, she felt symptoms of E.Coli after eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounders. Doctors claimed that her illness was triggered by the McDonald’s E.Coli infection.

    On the other side, fast food outlets including McDonald’s and Taylor Farms have recalled the use of their supplies. Health officials maintain that Taylor Farm’s onions served in McDonald’s quarter pounders might be responsible. Meanwhile, McDonald’s beef patties have been exonerated by the Colorado Department of Agriculture. This has led other outlets like Burger Kings, and Pizza Hut to clamp down on circulating the Taylor Farm’s onions.
