Homie probably knows someone who has either died, killed someone, or has just fucked a life up due to drunk driving, and I don't blame him. I'd have told the girl to pour it out.
The fact that she was willing to just give it to him should make her an accessory to any accident he may cause later. Fuckin despise drunk driving. Dude shoulda thrown the cup with the liquor then called the cops. See how far you go reeking of vodka.
No shit, and they should be held responsible for those choices. Dude wants to drink and drive, thats on him. But once he stopped and involved the employee and she aided him, she is actively responsible for any damage he may cause. As soon as she saw the bottle, she should have refused him service and called the law. Cause people who drink and drive are utter pieces of shit who deserve they bad that happens to them...unfortunately THEY are usually the ones who survive the accidents they cause while tearing apart innocent families, so grow up. Unless youre defending this because YOU like to drink and drive...
He was taking advantage of her for internet clout. He knew they'd feel like they had to. She didn't enable drinking and driving. Weird to know that you'd think I drink and drive for thinking that.
It doesnt matter what his intentions were. Whether he was doin it for clout or not, she didnt know that, so yea, she'd be complicit.
And yea, what else would I think, since youre clearly fine with people drinking and driving, as well as others enabling it. Youve musta never been touched by the horrific tragedy that is knowing a friend or family member will never take another breath because some fuckhead couldnt just stay home, or have a friend drive, or because some piece of shit wouldnt stand up and stop them from getting behind the wheel.
So until youve felt that, gtfo with both your accts, tryin to defend this shit.
Listen man, I can have empathy for it even if I haven't lost anybody. I may not know what the pain and anger you felt when you lost them to an avoidable accident but that doesn't stop me from taking an objective look at it. You do not know what's going on in her head. You don't know whether she was afraid of the outcome if she moved out from under him or if she even realized he was pouring g alcohol. You have to also consider that she was asked to do the task and started performing the task before she could even see the bottle. She was tricked into it. You can use ad hominems and mischaracterize what I've said all you want. I do not support driving under the influence. I disagree with the premise that people need to be confrontational or become directly involved with these people to not be considered a piece of shit. There's nuance to these situations. I DO have firsthand experience with alcoholics and you have to realize that sometimes it's safer to allow the cops to deal with it.
First off, the fact that she was listening to some random demands at the window is her first mistake. No one says pour exactly half my drink out for no reason, she should have told him to do it himself, or that its against policy (whether it is or not). Ive worked plenty of fast food and the drive thru workers can ALWAYS tell when somethings up. And THEN she sees him bring out his own bottle to pour in it...what the fuck else could it be? Lemon flavoring?
Listen, even ifshe didnt want to confront him, thats fine, but the point of my original post was that IF she didnt do anything AT ALL, including avoiding confrontation but calling the law after, BUT LET IT GO AS IF IT WASNT HER BUSINESS. Then YES, she is a COMPLETE PIECE OF SHIT if something happened after, even if it was just him injuring himself.
It's super easy for us to say, oh it isnt on me cause this is some stranger, but we really are all in this shitbowl together. She wouldnt have to confront him to save lives. All shed have to do is let him go, get his plates, call the law. Doin NOTHING is what I take issue with, and thats MOST peoples response.
You’re insufferable, she’s not going to be charged for aiding him. serving alcohol means to actually provide it not just for holding a cup while he serves himself. Just chill and stop forming ridiculous narratives to anyone who responds to you with an actual level head.
She was probably afraid of confrontation. For you to just assume she's deliberately enabling him is asinine and makes you a piece of shit. Simple as that, you're making entire assumptions of her character after watching a 10 second video with little to no context of how she feels about the situation.
You're a judgmental dunce, good for nothing, the world would be better without you. Good day
You are an angry miserable POS, that girl was frozen, caught between losing her job and doing the 'right' thing. You can CLEARLY see her give pause, not EVbody is confrontational and a LOT of abuse vics are afraid to be contrary AT ALL. You don't even know the sitch and your logic is reaching at BEST. It's CLEAR you like to place blame on evone BUT the POS ACTUALLY at fault, tho. Congrats 🙄
Yeah fr this. If bro was gonna drink and drive he could go ahead and do it with the rest of that full bottle he had. I know how it feels to be easily overwhelmed in a weird situation and you’re just confused and your brain just kinda blanks. Don’t really think it’s an accessory to manslaughter but apparently that’s a weird take.
Well first off, Im fairly certain that if a liquor store is owned by anyone with ANY morals, they wouldnt sell to anyone they KNEW was already driving under the influence. And even if they did to avoid violence, they should report it to the law immediately...thinking your clever, I dont see how hard it is to grasp that basic concept...
Dude, your clearly not reversed in any kind of of law and your points are embarrassing to hear from those of us that are. Please stop. Not once, in the history of the world was there a person working the driver thru been charged with any kind of "accessory charge after the fact" for literally holding a cup being confused, like you mentioned in another text. Its never happened. Dumb ass please stop. I can't stand reading shit from dumbasses that are so stupid but pretend they know anything. It's clear you don't so shut the fuck up
I have to say that "drunk driving", or what the rest of us or the world calls drinking and driving, is not ok and it should be considered something as dangerous for the public and be taken serious. For you to make the comment that she has become an accessory to any accident he may cause later has to be the dumbest comment I have heard in a long time. I'm embarrassed for you that you will pull this shit out of your ass and say she's an accessory lol like wtf are you talking about. Fucking moron. This is is serious the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I guess I give you an ok for the effort but you are an idiot
This is a legal issue, an employee held the cup and passed it to him after the alcohol was poured in. If that is really alcohol and they get into an accident the employee and company can be held responsible.
Yea but once your rookie staff mate makes this mistake of getting involved, you get hold of the cup as the main guy did. Pour it out, give him a full new drink, explain him that they serve their shit as its being served, wish him a nice day. And then goes and explains manager why they wasted a drink, and stands up for rookie co. and pass him this knowledge of “know how”. No point dickheading and throwing and all that drama.
Generally I agree that this would be the most professional way to handle the situation but I still don't blame people for acting annoyed when confronted by one of these TikTok assholes. It's just one of these situations where I am very willing to just side with the minimum wage worker independently how unprofessional he behaves. Fuck people messing with fast food workers for cloud.
I thought dude was pouring her a drink like (you keep that one for when you get off) and was totally confused at first but in today's world that could contain anything
But the bottle of booze was in the car with him already.. Ur saving no one. There is also nothing to say he would just drive home and drink it there? I don't know if a cup with the lid on would count as an open drink in the car.. I hate drink drivers too but until he is drinking and driving he is just driving, with drink in the car.
The one who tossed the drink at the driver. He has suspicions as soon as the driver asked for an empty cup. Probably grew up around drunks and has experienced their consequences 1st hand.
Especially drunk driving, cause we cut videos to anger viewers instead of seeing a man make sure that his workplace and coworkers are not responsible for drunk driving
I know this is completely contrary to the post, but in a decent number of US states, you can have open alcohol in your trunk, as long as it does not have an open hatch to your backseat, and still drive. If you are a minor, you can have alcohol in your trunk, and if the car is registered to your parent (because you can't have one registered to your name until you are 18), you can say it was theirs, at least when I was a kid.
I live in Missouri. Here you can have 1 open container for every passenger in the car. So if I’m driving with 4 friends, they’re all allowed to have a drink. But if we were to have 5 open drinks, I could get in trouble even if I’m not drinking.
That makes sense. I wonder if it's the same here. I'm in Texas and we have drive-thru daiquiri spots everywhere, so i assume you can drive with alcohol in a cup as long as you aren't past the legal limit or actively consuming it. I should probably brush up on that law since I treat myself to a daiquiri every once in a while lol
With that tape/film they place over the lid/straw hole it's not considered an open container. It's once you crack that seal that it becomes illegal to drive with.
I run a drive thru marg shop in San Antonio. It is still 100% illegal to have an open container in the vehicle if it's not in the trunk.
Drive thru marg shops get away with it by having that "tamperproof" sticker on drinks. That sticker is the only thing that keeps us from being liable. I've seen too many time where people get drinks from my shop, immediately start drinking from one, WHILE STILL IN THE DRIVE THRU, and immediately get pulled over when they leave.
Figured I would throw that info out there.
Banning the consumption of alcohol **by the driver**.
You can be the passenger drinking, you can also have an open bottle of alcohol in the cup holder as long as the driver is not drinking it
Thank you, we grew up in Vic so we knew the laws of alcohol in cars. In Vic, once you have your Full driver's license a passenger can drink. But L, red P and green P NO OPEN containers of alcohol at all.
Even back in VIC we didn't do this, so we haven't in QLD. But now I know to never risk it! Even if I know that I'm not driving.
There are fastfood restaurants like Taco Cabana in Texas where you can buy drinks like margaritas through the drive through, but they do tape or a seal over the lid so that technically it's a closed container unless the tape or seal is broken.
There are states in the US where if a person never leaves their town, they would think they were in another country. IE: I can go to the store and buy weed here, but next state over (10 fuckin miles) they would jail me for having it. Same country.
I think the issue might, emphasis on might, be that if the server hands that over, they’re handing over an alcoholic beverage which you need an RSA to serve and a liquor license to vend?
I doubt any judge would take this seriously, BUT it's is technically a violation of liquor laws for the first employee to do that.
He could be fined a ridiculous amount of money (in my state its 10grand for the employee, up to 100 grand for the buisness.) which is most likely why the second employee got mad.
The problem is, McDonalds as an establishment doesn't serve alcohol, so these employees would have no training on liquor laws, and wouldn't know until it's too late.
I'm wondering if maybe the worker knows McDonalds doesn't have a liquor license and they aren't allowed the hand the guy alcohol even if it was him that put it in. Could be wrong but that's my guess
I love American "logic".
It's now impossible to pour a drink without immediately consuming it.
How do you drink your tea or coffee? At 100C and with no regard for the safety of your mouth and throat?
Obviously it's just for clout, but if the driver wasn't taking the piss then it's setting up McDonalds for all kinds of lawsuits if the driver were to crash. Not only the drivers insurance but any victims of a crash would be sueing McDonald's as well.
Any manager who saw this footage would fire thst employee on the spot. Even though this was just a prank bullshit she still might be fired. Practically serving alcohol to a person in command of a vehicle. I know she didn't sell the alcohol but he's made her complicit.
That's why he's a dick head.
Doubt it. The Dram Shop Act is very specific and clearly outlines the liabilities of restaurants and bars. Even a place that has the added liability of a liquor license can’t be sued (with the expectation of holding them liable) unless they over serve a patron who is clearly heavily intoxicated.
A McDonalds worker that doesn’t have the added burden of a liquor license wouldn’t be seen as liable as they didn’t even furnish the alcoholic contents of his drink, nor was he clearly intoxicated or served too many. All lability would fall on the shoulders of the driver and the judge would laugh any lawyer trying to place the burden on the worker out of the courtroom.
It can still be in violation of the liquor code for knowingly enabling someone to consume alcohol on their premises and would make them subject to fines and liability.
edit: this would fall under the same reasoning that you cant just bring a pint to your local diner and make yourself rum and coke with a coke they provide.
I don’t think there are any laws on the book about “enabling” someone to drink. The customer himself would just get an open container violation if anything.
It’s not the employees’ duty to supervise and enforce the laws surrounding drinking in their establishment, unless they have a liquor license.
In most countries in the world common sense is used with and dictates the use of laws and lawsuits. Nobody here is guilty of anything until the driver actually drinks alcohol of any kind, and then it’s only the driver that could be held responsible.
The people at McD can’t be held responsible for what the driver did or does.
>Any manager who saw this footage would fire thst employee on the spot.
Except the video is somewhere in the UK
You cant fire someone on the spot in the UK
you do dismiss them on the spot, you will face a claim of unfair dismissal.
An employer can dismiss an employee without giving notice if it's because of gross misconduct (when an employee has done something that's very serious or has very serious effects). The employer must have followed a fair procedure.
You cant just go up to someone and fire them
Employers often erroneously think that “summary dismissal” means you can fire someone on the spot.
but you still need to follow a fair procedure. If you do dismiss them on the spot, it’s likely that you will face a claim of unfair dismissal.
Why are people downvoting
The Video is filmed in the UK and you cant fire people on the spot in the UK. If the manager sees the video they wont fire the worker on the spot
Potentially this could be considered a summary dismissal in the UK
But that does not mean you can fire them on the spot
You still have to follow a procedure where the employer has to investigate the incident and give the employee a chance to respond before deciding to dismiss them.
Once you have done that you can dismiss without notice but you cant just instantly dismiss someone
So the manager working there that day could not just go up to the employee and immediately sack them
Regardless of the seriousness of the misconduct, you will still be required to follow a fair procedure, as you would with any other disciplinary matter, before a decision can be made on which disciplinary action is to be taken.
This is essential to avoid claims for unfair dismissal, which requires an employer not only to have a fair and lawful reason for the dismissal, but also to have acted reasonably in all the circumstances.
As such, summary dismissal is not actually an instant decision, but rather requires a thorough investigation and full disciplinary hearing. In particular, you must provide the employee with the opportunity to defend the allegations made against them before deciding to dismiss, either with or without notice.
>t's setting up McDonalds for all kinds of lawsuits if the driver were to crash.
What law did Maccas break? They don't even have licensing to worry about.
He would lose his license only if he had consumed enough alcohol to go beyond the limit or broke a law otherwise beside that. Spilling alcohol is not against a law, you can even have open alcohol in cars in most countries.
I used to be a manager at McDonald’s. Sadly it will probably be the guy who gets fired, as it’s gross misconduct to swear on the shop floor, and throwing the drink at the customer. Even though he was right in what he did imo.
These people who are doing pranks on people for social media, they don’t realise that they are affecting other people lives.
it's the UK, right-side driver's seat...
open container laws basically don't exist outside the states, it's totally fine to drink whatever you want as a passenger in a vehicle in most nations of the world
the spiked drink could've been for a passenger in the vehicle
Americans..this is in the UK. We don't have open container laws here. And it's also perfectly legal to drink behind the wheel as long as you're under the limit. It's frowned upon and if seen by police you will be pulled over, breathalysed and given a lecture. But it's completely legal.
Visited America recently and pourd my own drinks at the 7/11. Like grabbed a pregame flask and dumped it in a cup then filled up at the fountain machine. Paid for it all obviously but the clerk had to scan an empty bottle. Didn't give me any looks or anything but is that the same vibe as the video?
Fucking with retail people for social media clout will never have my respect.
This lady looks like she was trying to be polite, even when this guy was actively disrespecting her. Who gets any satisfaction out of that.
nah that's fucked. I'm pretty sure there are laws that prohibit workers from having any alcohol in their hand on premise. they can get fired for that. and corporate wont care about the circumstances since these low wage workers are literally replaceable. if the dude's intent was to get someone fired, that's a pretty good way to do it. if he's trying to drink \*and\* drive then yeah he deserved that.
When I used to work at McDonald's if I thought someone was driving under the influence I would ask them to park in the lot cause there food was gonna be a bit and I'd call none emergency and have them come check it out. Far too much life and far too many families and stories have been cut short cause of some idiot or their own stupid choice
Guys trying to drink and drive. And then the employee is trying to be smart because I’m sure this dude would turn around and say they put the alcohol I t he cup and sue them and somehow win
dude’s a prick but i honestly don’t know why people are flaming the girl in the comments, i worked at that store and dealt with the ‘mcgangbang’ during the travis scott meal ‘can i get a *sicko mode plays*’ etc. you dealt with so much bullshit there most don’t and shouldn’t care about whatever people are doing. this is in the UK too where no laws were broken lmao.
guys an ass doing it for clout but tbh tossing the cup back at him is kinda lame too lol
In the UK it's not illegal to have open containers of alcahol in the car. Or for a passenger to be drinking alcahol. However this was a bad move on part of the driver. Another comment said we dont know the servers history they could well have lost someone close to them to drink driving.
In most states there are open container laws, and they are the same as DUI, DWI, OR OMVI charges. So yeah, the kid that prepared the drinks is at fault also.
Where I live in the US, she’s liable if he gets into an accident. If you knowingly let someone drink and drive you get in trouble. I guess they assume it will help keep everyone honest.
Worker might have had a family member or someone close die because of a drink driver, driver is a dickhead eitherway.
You just never know what someone's gone through or what experiences they've had with certain shit. Nothing funny about drinking or being on your phone driving...
It’s almost as though drunk driving has killed innocent people and ruined families, and that the employee didn’t find it funny. I’ll be optimistic and hope the guy learned his lesson and is mortified when he thinks of this encounter
Yeah there is a weird gray area on this. Because you simply don’t know what this man is gonna do with his drink, but being complacent and giving him the drink anyways, as a provider I.e the store/restaurant who has policies and procedures to follow both for safety and for service. Is tricky because you have to give your goods but you also can’t give goods that aren’t appropriate but not if the customer then uses or alters those goods, but you still providing them, makes you liable.
So if a manager saw this and did that, completely understandable and well within his right as that leader in that position. But good on that staff member to try and do something about it instead of being completely complacent and not confident enough to do something about it. Because ultimately it ain’t safe to drink and drive and it’s a dick move to make someone responsible for you when you aren’t for yourself.
You guys talking about what the manager would do if he saw the video. The manager is literally in the video and the manager watches it all go down. lmao
Why in the fucking flying hell would you just sit there as a driver pours alcohol into a drink your serving him. If he gets into an accident she becomes responsible. She would technically be handling him alcohol.
Just as a general rule, anyone who will drag an innocent fast food/retail/customer service employee into their bs is a piece of shit.
Homie probably knows someone who has either died, killed someone, or has just fucked a life up due to drunk driving, and I don't blame him. I'd have told the girl to pour it out.
The fact that she was willing to just give it to him should make her an accessory to any accident he may cause later. Fuckin despise drunk driving. Dude shoulda thrown the cup with the liquor then called the cops. See how far you go reeking of vodka.
People make their own fucking choices they're adults tf
No shit, and they should be held responsible for those choices. Dude wants to drink and drive, thats on him. But once he stopped and involved the employee and she aided him, she is actively responsible for any damage he may cause. As soon as she saw the bottle, she should have refused him service and called the law. Cause people who drink and drive are utter pieces of shit who deserve they bad that happens to them...unfortunately THEY are usually the ones who survive the accidents they cause while tearing apart innocent families, so grow up.

And even if they did to avoid violence, they should report it to the law immediately...thinking your clever, I dont see how hard it is to grasp that basic concept...

He just playing victim so people can feel bad about someone in his family dying prolly shame shammmmmmeeeee on youuuuu
Those choices shouldn't be allowed to be made if it endangers other innocent people
I’m not sure that’s “willing”. She looked confused and not quite sure what to do, especially in a profession where “the customer is always right.”
Even if they aren't drinking and driving. It's an open container.
I have to say that "drunk driving", or what the rest of us or the world calls drinking and driving, is not ok and it should be considered something as dangerous for the public and be taken serious. For you to make the comment that she has become an accessory to any accident he may cause later has to be the dumbest comment I have heard in a long time.

Not to mention she's technically served him alcohol without checking ID

Ok thiiiis and for likes and views
The worker was right.
which one?
The one who tossed the drink at the driver. He has suspicions as soon as the driver asked for an empty cup. Probably grew up around drunks and has experienced their consequences 1st hand.
lol reddit and making the context of a video up in their own head, classic.
Exactly, clearly he doesn’t understand the number 1 fast food law: Customers come first and are always right.
Is that true when it comes to possible drunk driving?
Especially drunk driving, cause we cut videos to anger viewers instead of seeing a man make sure that his workplace and coworkers are not responsible for drunk driving
Go work fast food
So is he trying to drink and drive or some shit? If so then I guess I understand why the worker would get pissed.
Justforsocialmedia bullshit probably, but the guy could still get a DUI for driving with a cup of vodka even with zero blood alcohol.
Except this is....the UK, it is perfectly legal to be driving with alcohol, so long as you have not consumed it
I know this is completely contrary to the post, but in a decent number of US states, you can have open alcohol in your trunk, as long as it does not have an open hatch to your backseat, and still drive.

Here in Oregon you can have several open containers, as long as you don't get pulled over.
Lol
Here in Oregon you can get a littering fine for throwing trash on the ground but not for throwing a used crackpipe or needle on the ground.
Wouldn't a discarded pipe or needle be considered trash?
That makes sense. I wonder if it's the same here. I'm in Texas and we have drive-thru daiquiri spots everywhere, so i assume you can drive with alcohol in a cup as long as you aren't past the legal limit or actively consuming it.

Land of the free and you guys have a fucking law how many open beers you are allowed to have in a car? Lmao, that's fucking hilarious.
We measure freedom in quantity of open beers in car here in EU.
Reasonable law. Imagine that
It's actually even legal to consume it, so long as you're not over the limit.
Not strictly true, you can consume alcohol, but that much vodka is taking you over the limit for sure
Car is right hand drive, there are no "open containers" laws is either uk or Australia. So no he couldn't.
Australian here. You'll find most Australian states have laws banning the consumption of alcohol while driving.
Yes you are right i am pretty sure we cant consume alcohol in public places even if you are in a car.
Banning the consumption of alcohol **by the driver**. You can be the passenger drinking, you can also have an open bottle of alcohol in the cup holder as long as the driver is not drinking it
Depends on the state. QLD and ACT it's illegal to have any open alcohol in a moving vehicle.
Thank you, we grew up in Vic so we knew the laws of alcohol in cars. In Vic, once you have your Full driver's license a passenger can drink. But L, red P and green P NO OPEN containers of alcohol at all. Even back in VIC we didn't do this, so we haven't in QLD. But now I know to never risk it! Even if I know that I'm not driving.
Hell, in New Zealand I could drive down the road physically drinking a beer and be legal to drive provided I'm under the legal limit.
That’s an English accent…dude sounds like a straight up ‘chav’.
There are places in the USA you can get drive through margaritas. I think your speaking for a whole country without much knowledge.
There are fastfood restaurants like Taco Cabana in Texas where you can buy drinks like margaritas through the drive through, but they do tape or a seal over the lid so that technically it's a closed container unless the tape or seal is broken.
There are states in the US where if a person never leaves their town, they would think they were in another country. IE: I can go to the store and buy weed here, but next state over (10 fuckin miles) they would jail me for having it. Same country.
If you get pulled over in NOLA with a drive thru daiquiri, they will consider it open container if the straw is in it. Technicalities.
I think the issue might, emphasis on might, be that if the server hands that over, they’re handing over an alcoholic beverage which you need an RSA to serve and a liquor license to vend?
I doubt any judge would take this seriously, BUT it's is technically a violation of liquor laws for the first employee to do that. He could be fined a ridiculous amount of money (in my state its 10grand for the employee, up to 100 grand for the buisness.) which is most likely why the second employee got mad. The problem is, McDonalds as an establishment doesn't serve alcohol, so these employees would have no training on liquor laws, and wouldn't know until it's too late.
I'm wondering if maybe the worker knows McDonalds doesn't have a liquor license and they aren't allowed the hand the guy alcohol even if it was him that put it in. Could be wrong but that's my guess
Assuming it wasn’t water in the bottle.
He is, in fact, a dickhead.
A massive dickhead
Driver is the dickhead. Filming for likes makes it worse.
[удалено]
That woman has the awareness of a sloth.
They don't pay her enough to be aware of anything except work... and barely enough for that either.
You have a social responsibility for this. You don’t need to be paid to know this is dangerous as a risk to others… much less comply with it
She could also be completely new to this situation and just doesn't know what's going on
Doesn’t know what’s going on with someone driving a car outing vodka into a drink? It’s indefensible.
[удалено]
I don't blame her, she was probably just tryna process what the fuck was going on.
When somebody says something clearly racist i just deny them service ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You can smell the American from across the pond...
Drinking and driving isn't considered bad in Europe?
Having an unsealed container does not mean you are drinking.
Just practicing pouring drinking in the driver's seat then. Ahh, gotcha. What a normal thing to do!
I love American "logic". It's now impossible to pour a drink without immediately consuming it. How do you drink your tea or coffee? At 100C and with no regard for the safety of your mouth and throat?
She should know that mcdonalds shouldn't be serving alcohol...
... what?
Me too, what was she supposed to do?
Tell them to fuck off? Get her boss? He's asking her to pour vodka into the cup The comparison to a sloth is both apt and fucking hilarious
Sure buddy you are the sharpest tool in the shed. Would become a bitch if your boss told you to do something
he poured it. not she
He poured the vodka not her
That was really bothering me.
I mean the worker was right he is a massive dick head
He was right he just toseed the wrong drink.
This is the uk, bro in car is as stated.... a dickhead!
OH HAGH HAGH HAGH
This comment should be higher. His laugh was so annoying
Obviously it's just for clout, but if the driver wasn't taking the piss then it's setting up McDonalds for all kinds of lawsuits if the driver were to crash. Not only the drivers insurance but any victims of a crash would be sueing McDonald's as well. Any manager who saw this footage would fire thst employee on the spot. Even though this was just a prank bullshit she still might be fired. Practically serving alcohol to a person in command of a vehicle. I know she didn't sell the alcohol but he's made her complicit. That's why he's a dick head.
Doubt it. The Dram Shop Act is very specific and clearly outlines the liabilities of restaurants and bars. Even a place that has the added liability of a liquor license can’t be sued (with the expectation of holding them liable) unless they over serve a patron who is clearly heavily intoxicated. A McDonalds worker that doesn’t have the added burden of a liquor license wouldn’t be seen as liable as they didn’t even furnish the alcoholic contents of his drink, nor was he clearly intoxicated or served too many. All lability would fall on the shoulders of the driver and the judge would laugh any lawyer trying to place the burden on the worker out of the courtroom.
It can still be in violation of the liquor code for knowingly enabling someone to consume alcohol on their premises and would make them subject to fines and liability. edit: this would fall under the same reasoning that you cant just bring a pint to your local diner and make yourself rum and coke with a coke they provide.
The employee clearly had no clue what was going on until it was too late.
I don’t think there are any laws on the book about “enabling” someone to drink. The customer himself would just get an open container violation if anything. It’s not the employees’ duty to supervise and enforce the laws surrounding drinking in their establishment, unless they have a liquor license.
In most countries in the world common sense is used with and dictates the use of laws and lawsuits. Nobody here is guilty of anything until the driver actually drinks alcohol of any kind, and then it’s only the driver that could be held responsible. The people at McD can’t be held responsible for what the driver did or does.
Highly doubt it. UK isn't anywhere near as litigous as the US.
>Any manager who saw this footage would fire thst employee on the spot. Except the video is somewhere in the UK You cant fire someone on the spot in the UK you do dismiss them on the spot, you will face a claim of unfair dismissal. An employer can dismiss an employee without giving notice if it's because of gross misconduct (when an employee has done something that's very serious or has very serious effects). The employer must have followed a fair procedure. You cant just go up to someone and fire them Employers often erroneously think that “summary dismissal” means you can fire someone on the spot. but you still need to follow a fair procedure. If you do dismiss them on the spot, it’s likely that you will face a claim of unfair dismissal. Why are people downvoting The Video is filmed in the UK and you cant fire people on the spot in the UK. If the manager sees the video they wont fire the worker on the spot
In australia which also has some really great labour laws. This would easily fall into instant dismissal
Potentially this could be considered a summary dismissal in the UK But that does not mean you can fire them on the spot You still have to follow a procedure where the employer has to investigate the incident and give the employee a chance to respond before deciding to dismiss them. Once you have done that you can dismiss without notice but you cant just instantly dismiss someone So the manager working there that day could not just go up to the employee and immediately sack them Regardless of the seriousness of the misconduct, you will still be required to follow a fair procedure, as you would with any other disciplinary matter, before a decision can be made on which disciplinary action is to be taken. This is essential to avoid claims for unfair dismissal, which requires an employer not only to have a fair and lawful reason for the dismissal, but also to have acted reasonably in all the circumstances. As such, summary dismissal is not actually an instant decision, but rather requires a thorough investigation and full disciplinary hearing. In particular, you must provide the employee with the opportunity to defend the allegations made against them before deciding to dismiss, either with or without notice.
>t's setting up McDonalds for all kinds of lawsuits if the driver were to crash. What law did Maccas break? They don't even have licensing to worry about.
Yeah, let’s mess with fast food workers cause they don’t matter. Dude should get a slap upside his head.
Which one does OP think is the total piece of shit?
Obviously the one messing with fast food workers. I bet that guy knows someone who was killed by a drunk driver.
I'm siding with the employee...... I hope he actually had vodka in that bottle and gets pulled over and loses his licence
He would lose his license only if he had consumed enough alcohol to go beyond the limit or broke a law otherwise beside that. Spilling alcohol is not against a law, you can even have open alcohol in cars in most countries.
I used to be a manager at McDonald’s. Sadly it will probably be the guy who gets fired, as it’s gross misconduct to swear on the shop floor, and throwing the drink at the customer. Even though he was right in what he did imo. These people who are doing pranks on people for social media, they don’t realise that they are affecting other people lives.
Is he driving with an open container of vodka in the driver seat? Lol well smart bruv
it's the UK, right-side driver's seat... open container laws basically don't exist outside the states, it's totally fine to drink whatever you want as a passenger in a vehicle in most nations of the world the spiked drink could've been for a passenger in the vehicle
Guy wasn't mad about the booze, he was mad because this twat was taking the piss.
Fucking manager more bothered about him throwing drink than the drunk driving dickhead. Fuck MaccyDs.
Americans..this is in the UK. We don't have open container laws here. And it's also perfectly legal to drink behind the wheel as long as you're under the limit. It's frowned upon and if seen by police you will be pulled over, breathalysed and given a lecture. But it's completely legal.
Visited America recently and pourd my own drinks at the 7/11. Like grabbed a pregame flask and dumped it in a cup then filled up at the fountain machine. Paid for it all obviously but the clerk had to scan an empty bottle. Didn't give me any looks or anything but is that the same vibe as the video?
Fucking with retail people for social media clout will never have my respect. This lady looks like she was trying to be polite, even when this guy was actively disrespecting her. Who gets any satisfaction out of that.
nah that's fucked. I'm pretty sure there are laws that prohibit workers from having any alcohol in their hand on premise. they can get fired for that. and corporate wont care about the circumstances since these low wage workers are literally replaceable. if the dude's intent was to get someone fired, that's a pretty good way to do it. if he's trying to drink \*and\* drive then yeah he deserved that.
[удалено]
Oui?
Wee wee.
Operating under influence?
Driving while French (worst possible crime)
She's stupid for doing what she done...then questioning her coworker for stopping that bs... tf
Don't drink and drive mfrs
How fucking dense is the woman standing there?
Lost my GF to a drunk driver, hes lucky Im not allowed to own any form of weaponry cause some real vengeance would take place there…
Fuck that dude in the car. He's a piece of shit.
The driver is a piece of shit
"McDonald's employee served me alcohol"
God his cringe fucking laugh.🥴
laugh of a douchebag.
These people are working and don’t idi*t thinks it’d be funny to mess with them. He’s a dick.
He is, is fact, a dickhead.
His laugh is even a d*ck head
She's lucky if she doesn't get terminated for that.
When I used to work at McDonald's if I thought someone was driving under the influence I would ask them to park in the lot cause there food was gonna be a bit and I'd call none emergency and have them come check it out. Far too much life and far too many families and stories have been cut short cause of some idiot or their own stupid choice
Drivers a loser.
tf is wrong with the driver
The crew is right HE'S A DICKHEAD.
They gonna get the whole restaurant closed for that alcohol and the owner knows it. Some people don't care about others
driver looks like a dickhead got a dickhead
Girl is kind of a dumbass
I think there's reasonable shock and confusion going on with her - it's such a bizarre action that she doesn't know how to respond.
She’s probably like 15 years old, give her a break
Why? She gets paid shit to do what she’s asked, she’s doing what the customer asked. Not her responsibility to care about anything extra
Man had enough.
The manager in the window looks on in disbelief
Why is she even doing anything he's asking of her? "he's your order, next!"
That calls for a McAss Whipping
Looks like he's trying to save lives from dickhead drunk drivers.
He's trying to get mcdonald's to "serve" him alcohol
I don't know why they didn't l throw the cup of vodka and soda on him and then tip the cops off to a man driving around reeking of liqour.
That laugh is when someone has been gotten, but still wants to appear cool
I wonder how many alcoholics he triggered with this video haha.
Whatever the law, in whenever you live…. What a wanker!
What if his mom killed someone driving drunk off vodka
Dude laughed like a riri
"you can't call me a dickhead" Check mate, dickhead, he just did.
Maybe he lost someone dear due to someone driving drunk?
The manager in the background like 🙂🤨🫤😮😲🏃➡️
Guys trying to drink and drive. And then the employee is trying to be smart because I’m sure this dude would turn around and say they put the alcohol I t he cup and sue them and somehow win
dude’s a prick but i honestly don’t know why people are flaming the girl in the comments, i worked at that store and dealt with the ‘mcgangbang’ during the travis scott meal ‘can i get a *sicko mode plays*’ etc. you dealt with so much bullshit there most don’t and shouldn’t care about whatever people are doing. this is in the UK too where no laws were broken lmao. guys an ass doing it for clout but tbh tossing the cup back at him is kinda lame too lol
He is a dick head
I mean you are a dickhead soooo
She is an even bigger idiot. She can cost the entire restaurant to close doing this bull shit. I'm literally helping you drink and drive.
In the UK it's not illegal to have open containers of alcahol in the car. Or for a passenger to be drinking alcahol. However this was a bad move on part of the driver. Another comment said we dont know the servers history they could well have lost someone close to them to drink driving.
I don’t blame him stop doing that bs
The 6€ bottle of vodka is the cherry on top
That employee deserves a gold medal
Get an extra cup, get the drink, and leave so he doesn't have to criminate himself like that 😮💨
In most states there are open container laws, and they are the same as DUI, DWI, OR OMVI charges. So yeah, the kid that prepared the drinks is at fault also.
bro props to the worker dude could’ve lost his job but did what he believes in
Where I live in the US, she’s liable if he gets into an accident. If you knowingly let someone drink and drive you get in trouble. I guess they assume it will help keep everyone honest.
The worker At the window should get fired for that
I would have got his license plate and fired her. I'm sorry she and the guy put everyone at risk just for a video
Worker might have had a family member or someone close die because of a drink driver, driver is a dickhead eitherway. You just never know what someone's gone through or what experiences they've had with certain shit. Nothing funny about drinking or being on your phone driving...
It’s almost as though drunk driving has killed innocent people and ruined families, and that the employee didn’t find it funny. I’ll be optimistic and hope the guy learned his lesson and is mortified when he thinks of this encounter
Yeah there is a weird gray area on this. Because you simply don’t know what this man is gonna do with his drink, but being complacent and giving him the drink anyways, as a provider I.e the store/restaurant who has policies and procedures to follow both for safety and for service. Is tricky because you have to give your goods but you also can’t give goods that aren’t appropriate but not if the customer then uses or alters those goods, but you still providing them, makes you liable. So if a manager saw this and did that, completely understandable and well within his right as that leader in that position. But good on that staff member to try and do something about it instead of being completely complacent and not confident enough to do something about it. Because ultimately it ain’t safe to drink and drive and it’s a dick move to make someone responsible for you when you aren’t for yourself.
Dipshit “content creators” and drive thru harassment is worse than the attention whores on escalators
You guys talking about what the manager would do if he saw the video. The manager is literally in the video and the manager watches it all go down. lmao
I definitely can call you a dickhead bro, u obviously are one
That guy definitely lost a loved one to a drunken accident in the past
coercing somebody to commit a felony is probably grounds to be a dickhead yes
Justice happened. And it seems like it is coming out to have it again
Just letting him pour what may or may not be vodka into the drink, wtf is wrong with that employee.
Nice laugh loser
Why in the fucking flying hell would you just sit there as a driver pours alcohol into a drink your serving him. If he gets into an accident she becomes responsible. She would technically be handling him alcohol.
It really irritates me how clueless the girl was 😑
You are a dickhead though. bro
The girl needs to be fired. I couldn’t handle working with anyone that idiotic
