Mcdonald's sign comes crashing down

Mcdonald's sign comes crashing down on cars
waiting in the drive-thru today.....good reason
to go inside and not outside. If this happened
while on a shop, would of been your issue to deal
with. Wonder if they would of extended your shop deadline.

WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Two McDonald’s customers in Weatherford were taken to the hospital today after an unusual accident.

According to the Weatherford Fire Department, a large McDonald’s sign fell on two cars that were in the drive-thru, trapping one driver for nearly 15 minutes.

Officials say they do not know why the sign fell.

The drivers in each vehicle were taken to a nearby hospital. Officials say they were both alert with no obvious major injuries.

The fire department says it is a good thing there were no passengers in either vehicle.

Mike Karlin, the interim fire chief, believes the accident would have been much worse had there been any passengers in the first vehicle.

I would have made an executive decison whether to stick with the program, or stray. I would have reported accordingly, maybe sending a note to the Help Desk, following submission of my report.

I think if my car had just been wrecked by a sign crashing onto it the last thing I would have been worried about would be redeeming a $5 mystery shop.

The lawsuit proceeds would more than compensate for it.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

Me: I...uhh...I was unable to evaluate the drive-through.
MSC: Why?
Me: It was inoperable.
MSC: Was there a charter bus on site?
Me: No, but does a firetruck count?
MSC: Didn't you read the shopper show and manual stating to come back?

Could I have a receipt please?

What could have happened:~~~~~~~

Editor: How long were you trapped under the McDonalds sign?

Shopper: About 15 minutes.

Editor: Did the window attendant still greet you?

Shopper: Um. No.

Editor: How long did you wait for the crane to remove the sign?

Shopper: About 15 minutes.

Editor: After the crane removed the sign, how many cars were ahead of you in the drive-thru?

Shopper: No cars, unless you count the other "crushed" one.

Editor: After the crane removed the sign, did you move forward and wait for your greeting?

Shopper: My car was crushed and it could not move.

Editor: Did the window attendant greet you after your car became mobile?

Shopper: My car was crushed and towed away.

Editor: I will confer with my team to find out if we can pay you $3 since you did not complete the shop.

Editor: I would appreciate the $3 because my car has $5,000 worth of damage, thanks

When I was driving back from the ATL conference last year, I stopped at a McDonald's for a sweet tea. I do not like their "food" but I am a sucker for their sweet tea. While I was grabbing a straw, I heard a weird noise from above. I turned to look just as a light fixture and ceiling panels fell down onto a 3-year old boy. The light fixture just missed his head but the ceiling panels did. The family started screaming but no employees reacted right away. After I ordered a manager to come out to the table, she gave a half-ass apology, started to help the mother and grandmother brush the debris off the child and offered to reimburse their meals.

I was shocked. I told the mom to take photos of the incident, get all the store/manager's info and contact the police to file a report. Another reason to avoid the Golden Arches.

I highly doubt that personnel in restaurants, especially young personnel, are trained to deal with medical emergencies. There are probably some exceptions in some chains. When I was volunteering with Red Cross, I took posters of the Heimlich maneuver (since renamed because Dr. Heimlich no longer wanted his name on it) and put them up in numerous restaurants. I have not ever heard of a restaurant requiring any personnel to take First Aid or CPR, but I'm guessing there are cities and other jurisdictions that require the restaurants to do that. Places such as day care centers send their employees to keep up their certifications in those areas. Other places with dangerous jobs do as well.

This is probably why the restaurant personnel didn't know what to do.

Oh.....reminding you, they are boycotting their own stores to increase pay raise to $15 an hour. For that kind of money, they should be trained in CPR and any emergency that would be possible to happen.

Outside of a hospital, CPR is only effective 7% of the time. There's a 93% chance of failure. I think restaurants don't have their employees trained in emergency maneuvers because of the overwhelming risk of liability.

BBird, that depends on the state. Also have to be careful
if you help someone in an accident. In some states if you
can be sued by the person you just saved. Some states have the good citzen law and it blocks
them from doing so.

Yes, my husband shot a dog and was sued by the owners. The dog was attacking a child. The child's parents were the dog's owners. The child required cosmetic surgery, and I guess suing my husband was how they paid for it. He was ordered to pay $8,000... the approximate value of their Rhodesian Ridgeback show dog, plus court fees.

The crazy part was that had he not acted, the child would have probably been killed or suffered more severe injuries. Out of the 20 or so people at that BBQ, he was the only one who acted.

Even crazier, to me, is that he remained friends with them.

The customer two cars in front of me was receiving a VERY large order.

People who shop McDonalds and like the food should have their heads examined.

Wow. I don't really consider it "food" but I shop them all the time. Their money's still green, they are often heavily bonused, and their MSC pays like clockwork.

I guess in a way, I LOVE the food. I look down on my sad little $5 McChicken meal and see a $50 bill.

Where do you get your facts from? I am a first responder and instructor. If you do CPR to the beat of "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees very rarely do we lose one. If you are all alone call 911 first to bring the Calvary and forget about the breathing just do the compressions.

If the victim got a heart attack at a Mickey Dee it was probably from complications of eating the food there.

If you eat enough of them you could get a heart attack.

You can taste (one bite) and toss it or give it to a"homeless" beggar asking for change. Watch how fast they toss it in the garbage because they are not homeless. They got their Caddy parked nearby.

You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want ..Zig Zigler
