SEIU Man: If McDonald’s Strikers Don’t Get What They Want, They May Contaminate the Food

So I guess going to a New York McDonald’s isn’t a good idea right now.

Videographer and conservative blogger Adam Sharp of SharpElbows.net attended one such demonstration and interviewed an SEIU member, easily identifiable as such by his purple shirt.

When asked whether the union member supported the $15 per hour wage increase the McDonald’s workers were demanding, he admitted, “I’m not sure.”

He also said he was there to show his support for the workers rather than the company and expressed a fear that, “if they’re [the McDonald’s employees] pissed off, they could be doing something to that food.”

“So that’s your main concern, is that if they don’t get what they want, they might contaminate the food?”

The SEIU member shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know.”

I’m not one who hates on McDonald’s. You go there, you get what you want at a reasonable price and the product is consistent from coast to coast. Overseas, McDonald’s

You can bet I won’t be doing any business at a joint where they have knuckledragging SEIU employees around.

I have only eaten at fast food places less than 5 times in the last 30 years with one exception. A few months ago my Niece and her family stopped by with Pizza she had bought at Pizza Hut.

I used to not like their pizza but it has improved dramatically. The reason I no longer eat at McD’s Hardees etc. is seeing the people in back. Just don’t want to eat anything prepared by people I don’t trust. I probably should not trust Pizza Hut either.

Poshitus is loving this. Now he’s pitted ‘his’ people against ‘our’ employers.

No prob. For me, anyway, I can cook.

Chick Fil A is A+.

The food is very, very good, the restaurant and restrooms are always extremely clean, the employees are spot on with politeness and efficiency and the food is always freshly prepared.

And the founder is a Christian who closes all stores on Sunday so the employees can worship and spend time with their families.

Hire high school and college kids. My son’s friends haven’t been able to find jobs, and they are hungry for work!

Gee, how is that different from any other day of the week? Why? Because they're always ticked off, ticked off at others because they never hit the books.

They obviously have been doing this,
.... and it has been ignored.
They are just planning a ‘ramp up’
following probable DO”J”- and DNC-green lights.

Based on that interview every single employee on strike should be immediately terminated..... That legal cost will pale in comparison to lost sales and the dozen lawsuits claiming customers food was contaminated....
