Brenda Biandudi doesnt normally go to fast food chains, but it was New Years Eve and she needed somewhere to use the restroom and buy a drink.
So Biandudi stopped Sunday afternoon at a McDonalds in St. Petersburg, Fla. She noticed it was nearly empty inside, save for a middle-aged man who had just gotten his order and was walking over to the condiments.
When the man saw there were no plastic straws, however, he got upset and began walking back to the counter to berate a cashier, according to Biandudi.
She told him that its the law now that theyre not supposed to have the straws in the lobby, Biandudi told The Washington Post in a phone interview Wednesday. He said theres no such law.

Male customer caught on video violently attacking female McDonald's employees

A male customer was arrested for assaulting two female McDonalds employees, grabbing one over the counter and kicking the other in the stomach.
In a spectators video taken on New Years Eve, customer Daniel Willis Taylor, 40, who is white, yelled at a black cashier named Yasmine James inside a St. Petersburg, Fla., McDonalds, reaching across the counter and grabbing her by the collar. She fought back, punching him on the arm and pulling his shirt.
Co-workers pulled them apart, and then someone who appears to be a manager calmly finished the attackers order. And I want her a** fired right now, said Taylor. When James says hes going to jail for assaulting her, Taylor shot back, I was just asking you a f***ing question, b****.
. . .
The other incident was only captured on store surveillance video and shows Taylor being escorted out of McDonalds and kicking a black female employee named Tateona Bell in the stomach while she stood near the door. A representative of the St. Petersburg Police Department tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the security tape is not being released at this stage of the investigation.

His face should definitely be published. People need to recognize who this guy is. He is not prepared to walk around freely if he won't control himself and his defective, primitive, infantile, racist temper.

(160,545 posts)He looks as if he's ready to get right back to assaulting people immediately.
Hope the police will be inspired to keep this monster locked up as long as they can before releasing him.
Hope the judge will throw everyone's books at him.
Thank you for catching that photo, jberryhill.

(5,734 posts)He was so much bigger than her that when he grabbed her, he almost lifted her over the counter. It was violent enough to injure her back, and he could have bruised and abraded her chest. She was absolutely FEARLESS! The manager had to drag her off him. This man is a danger to society, especially to women. I hope the woman he kicked in the stomach on the way out is all right. What if she were pregnant and too early to show?
Effin' sociopath!

(20,202 posts)"The video doesnt show if this particular McDonalds has been serving Avengers-themed Happy Meals, because instead of cowering, Yasmine, ever the industrious young worker, decides to boost the restaurants hygiene rating by wiping the counter clean with the mans spotless, balding forehead as if she had secretly gathered all of the Infinity Stones in her apron pocket.
Someone can be heard repeatedly saying get the police. Meanwhile, the other men on the McDonalds crew watch helplessly, obviously astonished that their coworker was decidedly not lovin it, as their motto implies. Davis did not sustain any bodily injuries, according to the police report.
<snip>
The video ends as Taylor asks for a refund, even though he had just consumed a healthy serving of multiple two-piece combos. Besides drinking a can of whoop-ass, Taylor may have been under the influence of alcohol, according to the police report. Taylor was arrested a few hours later and charged with two counts of simple battery."

I've worked customer service. It's hard. You deal with jerks and rude people all day.
If someone crossed the line into getting physical with me a few of those days, they would have been surprised how this 5 foot nothing chick would have potentially laid into them.

Why would you even ask if she was fired when you should've asked it that thug was arrested?

I still think my bosses would have given me "Badass Award", not fired me.

Just having Trump's racist,hate mongers as their only customers isn't enough revenue to keep it running.

I agree with you on that 100%.
But, after watching the video, I am just not seeing the part where the McDonald's employee caused on action (whatever the hell that means....do you mean she caused the guy to grab her?) that would be (result in?) a civil lawsuit against the company.
I could be missing it. Thanks in advance, for pointing it out.

(767 posts)This nut may have been thinking he could attack people and nothing would happen. This state allows people to kill people for doing LESS harm. It was his lucky day the ladies let him live. Now if he tries something stupid in jail I think JUSTICE will be served.....that guy is just a small sack of shit which should be FLUSHED.......

(62,444 posts)Given that his address is "Transient", then jail is a step up, since we don't have any reasonable mechanism for dealing with mentally disturbed homeless people.

You think she should be fired, then try to make this into a gun argument?!
You think a young black woman attacked for no reason should be fired.
