Mother sues McDonalds after her daughter was attacked in one there restaurants

[Ganger]

I have just come across this story. Short story is a 13 year old girl was inside McDonald's when she was attacked by another woman. The mother is suing the fast food giant because she stats the managers and staff did nothing to intervene.

This is kind of interesting, because if the staff did get involved im sure McDonald's would of sacked them and another point is, if any of the staff did get involved, the employer could be seriously hurt or killed. And the other way round, If the attacker was hurt or killed then the employee could be facing a murder charge at worst. It's really a no win win situation.


"I am heartbroken that my innocent daughter was beaten," said Kassidy Jones' mother, Angelina Gray. "McDonald's staff and managers did nothing to intervene. They all stood and watched."

"McDonald's has an obligation to provide a clean and safe place for its customers to dine. Kassidy's injuries could have been prevented, and she should have been given some form of help after the attack. This situation should have never happened,"

If this is California then there is no logic in their laws, only virtue signalling

Yes, money will surely help dry those tears.

1. Sadly, if a McDonald's worker got involved they could be fired. Customer associates are told to not get involved directly.

2. The cops were notified and that is all the workers are expected to do by corporate.

3. Treat of a HUGE lawsuit if you intervene and other people in the crowd are injured, or get involved. You want to deescalate, not escalate the situation. If you jump in, grab the woman, the chance that her friends, partner will intervene will be much greater. And what if the crowd gets involved? Now, you have a large mess. Multiple people involved, injuries, etc.

4. If you jump in you are taking the risk of getting injured, severely injured or risking death. That lady could have a knife, gun or her friends could be carrying weapon(s) on them. You just don't know in today's society.

5. The McDonald workers did the correct thing. They called the police.

Exactly. Some people have to blame others for their mistakes. What did the girl do to provoke the fight? I've been to McDonald's quite a few times and never got attacked, but that's probably just because I eat my burger, my French fries, drink my coke, and then leave the place. Am I missing something here?

McD: How much are you suing for?
Lady: A MILLION BILLION TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
McD: Check ok?

my initial thought is "wow, what if it was a man who attacked this 13 year old girl? this would be something else entirely!"

then my second thought is... "well... maybe they were a man before but now are identifying as a woman?!"

edit: also having worked in retail I'm well aware they tell the staff not to get involved in theft, let alone assault... wouldn't want that liability!

[volusat]

so what race are the ones involved, so i can form my opinion

[Magma Dragoon]

anybody who helps someone getting attacked gets jailed so now nobody helps people who are being attacked

[GunsForBucks]

Well you know about the hot coffee thing.

I expect a check to shut them up and new signs in stores advising you are at your own risk by being there. Maybe scan your phone to make you sign a liability waiver.

Honestly it seems a good way to stimulate fear. Everyone has signs up "shop at your own risk" just to remind you that you are in public.

If you're going to intervene in a fight, make damn sure you're defending the right side.

Hard lesson learned. 😟

McDonalds is a multi-billion dollar company with an Army of lawyers. The mother has no case.

McDonald employees should be the least of their concerns. Bystanders were recording a little girl get beat by a grown women like it was a WWE special like wtf

holy crap! new location for backstage brawls on raw? or maybe smackdown?

[KennyAtom]

man, in all seriousness, that'd be the perfect cross promotion.

wrestlers beating each other up in the mcdonalds. though that'll probably result in a tv 14 rating, which WWE seems so keen to avoid.
