The North Carolina woman who said she discovered a butter-drawn swastika on the bun of her McDonald’s chicken sandwich feels “bad that someone was fired” but said she still worries that the employee failed to understand the gravity of the stunt.
“I felt so sick,” Charleigh Matice, 32, told ABC News today. “Did someone think this is a joke?”
Matice said she ordered a chicken sandwich at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Morehead City, North Carolina, last week. Just when she was about to put mayonnaise on her bun, she noticed the swastika drawn on the bread with what looked like butter.
“It took me back for a minute,” Matice said of the symbol of Nazism. “It was so offensive.”
Matice said she was later told that the employee drew the symbol because “he was bored.”
“I don’t know how old he was,” said Matice, who entered the restaurant to alert management after finding the symbol. “I went back into the kitchen, I saw two white males who looked like they were both in their late 20s.”
The owner of the local McDonald’s restaurant took swift action after learning of the incident, saying they terminated the employee who allegedly drew the sign.
If this had happened somewhere in Germany, the kid probably would have been arrested. But I do think the woman overreacted, unless she had ancestors affected by the holocaust. Then it might be understandable. I suppose the worker didn't have a grasp of how deeply some people feel about that particular symbol, if he had any knowledge of it at all.
Stupid move, but not worth firing him over unless there were other issues involved.
A. why do people do stupid things? Why would that worker do that? Are people even born with brains nowadays? Honestly. B. the woman overeacted when she went to the press. It was an obnoxious thing to do, of course however no need to make a federal case over it.
Really? I go to McDonald's or Burger King or Subway to eat! I don't go there for political propaganda to be stamped on a piece of bread I am about to eat!
Can you even imagine the type of Lawsuit this woman could have filed against McDonalds?

Apparently you would give this incident way more significance than I would have. I would simply have wiped it off the bun, ate the sandwich, and moved on with my life. What possible grounds would there be for a lawsuit against McDonalds? A more justifiable lawsuit would be for the content of their food.
