OMG, this is just as discriminatory as anything else out there. Just because someone shops at Walmart does NOT mean he/she is a 'class' of person. It doesn't mean they are even poor, just that they want to buy something there.<br /><br />I even have to defend, albeit in complete ignorance, the franchisee in question. Sure, there may have been other incidents at that location, which might have been fostered by a franchise culture, (I don't know one way or another), but the former employees may well have never displayed such bad behaviour, so that it all came as a surprise to him. He has taken action, and it seems like the correct action, so it is not really fair to judge him too harshly. He could well have defended those misbegotten idiots like some others are doing.<br /><br />I haven't watched the video, and never will. Violence and discrimination appal me, but so does the verbal abuse subsequent to such events. I think that removal of the ugly posts and comments is a good thing, but removal of those peoples' right to even access that publicity should be the next step.Trabnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983486988084014062.post-19812006092829752032011-04-24T06:09:45.265-04:002011-04-24T06:09:45.265-04:00Macdonalds 'restaurants' are not, generall...Macdonalds 'restaurants' are not, generally, frequented on a regular basis by those who are above such name calling. They are not normally opened in areas of wealth. They provide high calorie fast food to the great unwashed as well as to real people. We all use them when there is nothing else open or available. The WalMart classes use them habitually.<br /><br />How unsurprising that unpleasant words are used on both sides of the alleged discussion about the beating of this 22 year old human being.<br /><br />So the two staff have been sack. Big deal. The issue is not the termination of their employment. It is, instead, the culture that the franchisee has allowed in his franchise. Questions need to be asked about Mitchell McPherson, the owner. Let;s hope he has answers. He is the boss, and thus the behaviour of his employees is his absolute responsibilityTim Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698536468287397610noreply@blogger.com
