Version 0 of 1. A Detroit McDonald’s worker who pranked a homeless man by throwing water in his face after promising him a meal has been fired. Video emerged earlier this week showing a McDonalds employee calling over a homeless man known only as Willie, saying he will give him a sandwich. Initially, Willie refuses but after being shown the food packaging, he moves towards the window where the drive-thru employee was standing. The worker then pulls back the sandwich and throws a cup of water over the homeless man. Franchise owner Wise Finley said in a statement: "I am very disturbed by the inappropriate behaviour of this employee." "This type of behaviour is not tolerated in my organisation. I expect my employees to treat everyone with dignity and respect, and this was unacceptable. “This individual no longer works for my organisation." |
