Actually, as a customer service representative, I find it rather harassing when people do similar things to me. How are we sure if this is not a repeat offense? That, and my job's security department tends to escort people off our preeminence if they're acting idiotic in such a matter.
Really, until you work bloody customer service and see how idiotic people can act, I think it's hard to actually judge things like this. If you told me this two years ago I would've been "wtf, why? That's stupid.", and now I'm sitting here cheering them on that they'll at least get fines for doing crap like this.
I mean, especially at McDonalds. They don't pay them enough to deal with jackasses that play around in their drive-thru taking away time from real potential customers.
Also, tjlemke, I'm not sure how much you know about the law...but I know they arrest people who who start seriously flipping out at the restaurant/store/whatever they're at. ((In fact, one of my douchy customers got arrested for doing it to me, so I pressed charges and had to go to court about it, lawls)). From what I was taught in school, Freedom of Speech doesn't give you the write to spur off whatever you like, but more or less protects you for being able to express your beliefs.
Seriously, rapping about McDonalds to the representative is not protection under freedom of speech. They got arrested for disorderly conduct as they're harassing the employees. And not only that, McDonalds asked them to order properly, they did it again, as well were cursing. This has nothing to do with the freedom of speech. This has to deal with plain teen ignorance that they can't get in trouble for pulling stunts like this.
In my mind at least...
Cursing = Threatening = Harassment. Bottom line.
((Though you're seriously making me doubt you're an adult...and if you are that you never worked a job before if your blissfully unaware that the first amendment doesn't protect you from doing stuff like this.
...or at least the whole "they choose to work there! They can leave if they want!" line. No offense meant, but dang that's surprising to me. ))
