The owner of a McDonald's Corporation's franchise in Michigan said that he was “disturbed” by a video that showed an employee at a Detroit store throwing water at a homeless man. The employee was seen on video teasing the man with a hamburger before throwing the cup of cold water at his face.

The video was uploaded last week on LiveLeak and has garnered thousands of viewed. The employee was seen calling for the homeless man, identified only as Willy in the video, through a drive-through counter window. The video was captioned: “Videographer states that he did this as payback because the panhandler had earlier argued with a McDonald's customer,” according to the Daily Mail.

McDonald’s franchisee Wise Finley said in a statement, cited by NBC News on Monday: “I am very disturbed by the inappropriate behavior of this employee,” adding: “This type of behavior is not tolerated in my organization. I expect my employees to treat everyone with dignity and respect, and this was unacceptable.”

Finley added that he is “taking appropriate action with respect to this individual,” according to NBC News.

6. Three is enough...

Thanks...

8. Well, they do have a job opening.

11. Owner should help

to get this man free medical treatment. Having worked in an area where countless times drunk, homeless individuals would harass & threaten employees & customers, I would think the next step to remedy the situation would be to rehabilitate the homeless guy back into society.

9. Hoping some attorney sees this

and sues McD for the old dude, then he can turn around and buy the franchise.

10. Wanna be disturbed?

Look at yourself


I meant this remark to go to the Owner of the Establishment - Not you

12. Why is it so easy to fire a minimum wage worker and not his boss?

[B2G]

13. Because the minimum wage worker in question

is the one who needs firing.
