McDonald's Manager Allegedly Throws Hot Oil On Customer

At 3:30am on Friday, February 10, a Sydney, Australia McDonald's manager allegedly threw hot oil on a customer, causing serious burns to the victim's face, chest, torso and arms.

The victim was somewhat intoxicated and supposedly swore at the manager and threatened to kill him. The manager allegedly responded, "If you come over the counter, I'll throw oil on you."

You can guess what comes next -- the victim jumped the counter and the manager did what he said he would. Police are reviewing footage investigating the incident.

McDonald's has been in the news a lot lately due to a spate of bizarre customer happenings including one woman getting stunned gunned and another offering sex for McNuggets.

It's his fault for jumping over the counter after he was warned. In America he would probably win a lawsuit, hopefully not in Australia.

McDonalds, Kindles and chihuahuas are all harbingers of the end of human civilization.

Oh. And Sarah Palin.

Well, he was warned not to go over the counter. On a lighter note he now smells like french fries and his girlfriend now finds him irrestiable...

You should also be aware that the eggs that you get from any fast food place could have blood in them. I worked at a fast food resturant & my job was breakfast. We fixed fresh eggs everyday & at times when I cracked eggs there were some that had plenty of blood in them. I brought it to the managers attention, he told me to mix it up because there were a lot of eggs in the container that I had already cracked. One reason I don't get eggs from anywhere except home.

Such a huge difference in doing one egg & can scoop out the bad stuff. When you are dealing with 6 dozen eggs & you get one that is nothing but blood, well. Nuff said.

Another reason as to why I stopped using AOL as a main email address...stop in once a month to check in-box. Between perpetually censoring and taglines that are as accurate as...never mind

Attention health inspectors. If you want to see mouse dropping and mice at a McDonadls go to the Brady's Leap turnpike plaza on the Ohio turnpike. My neice was the manager there. She reported the problem several time but the higher ups did not care. The employees named one of the mice "Stewart".

Why doesn't this article read; "McDonald's Manager has to fend off Drunk Customer who Threatened His Life"? Oh yeah, it wouldn't be as titillating or sell as many ads if it weren't stretching the truth for the almighty buck.

Hopefully the "customer" will have to pay the manager restitution for emotional trauma! Manager 1 Customer with a burnt face 0.
