A fast food worker in Detroit has been receiving outrage from all over the world as his video becomes viral. Social media users have expressed their disgust at this 'heartless prank'. Apparently, he was caught on camera luring in a homeless man - offering him free food (supposedly).
In the video clip, the young man is seen working at the drive-through of McDonald’s in Detroit. His prank video, gaining over 80,000 views and still counting, was posted on the social media site LiveLeak.
According to Mirror Online, furious calls have been made for the McDonald's worker to be sacked after he was captured on video as he was cruelly humiliating a homeless man by tempting him with a hot hamburger and then chucking cold water all over him. Days after this video was shared, hundreds of people would like the crew member to be identified and reprimanded.
Watch the video and see for yourself.
The video was taken by a customer in a car. The person taking the video was also observed to be laughing all throughout the 'prank'.
In the video, you would hear him baiting the man with a free food while saying:
“Hey Willy, come here, do you want a sandwich?”
“Come on man, I’m going to give you a sandwich man, come on man.”
The worker left the window for a while and got back with one McDonald’s burger box, which he held out for the homeless man. He was also seen preparing a cup of water, which you would think he'd give the pensioner along with the food.
Unfortunately, as the homeless man approached and reached out for the burger, the employee snatched it back and threw the cup of water over him instead. During this scene, you'd hear the passengers in the waiting car laughed along.
Here are some reactions:
“He is the meanest worker in McDonald's. He should be fired,” one user wrote.
Another one asked, "How could he throw water to the face of an old, hungry, and homeless man?"
As of this writing, McDonald’s has not yet commented on the incident.
The employee who played a prank on the homeless guy is perhaps the opposite of this kind-hearted crew member in Chicago. Now, this video is so inspiring that it could put you in a better mood.
