Previous bad behavior.
He had been previously trespassed.
The good Samaritan didn’t know this.
Just when you think, but nah ...... ten good cops get done in by one stupid cop.
I’m lovin’ it.
They should have let him take his sammich.
I visited three cities in the last month that were literally over run with the homeless. The more you tolerate the more you get.
Shame on McDonald’s. Whatever the guy’s plight, this was a paid meal, he was a paid customer. Mindless police don’t help. Shame on them all.
I do this regularly.
I make sure the manager and I have a gentleman’s agreement that the homeless guy can take as much time as he wants, and drink as much coffee as he wants. Then I double or triple tip the waitresses.
Never a problem.
Maybe the settlement will get him on his feet
When a homeless person is after food give them some food. Money is another matter. If its food you know its not gonna be spent on drugs or booze. And I dont give a crap if they have been a nuisance, for the love of God its no reason to make them go hungry.
Matthew 25:35-40 New International Version (NIV)
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
I read that they recently broke up up a homeless encampment near Diisneyland and found over 5,000 hypodermic needles. The OC sanitation people cleaned up 250 tons of trash and 1,100 lbs of human waste. I’’m tired of this! They are a huge public health and crime problem in any city they take over!
Right to refuse service to anyone.
I am sure there is a history.
He’d orobably been banned from there previously.
Must be he was previously banned from the store and was committing criminal trespass.

Maybe he should have ordered the food for takeout. Don’t let your tears blind you too quickly.
While compassion would have seemed to be in order, if he had been trespassed out of there before for whatever reasons, businesses do reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for legitimate reasons .. or used to be able to.
Businesses get bad raps all the time, sometimes justifiably, sometimes, wellll... Good thing it wasn’t a Burger King or the King would have crowned him on his way out.
Lose millions? I don't think so, but they sure did screw up by not just letting the guy eat and giving him a little time before asking him to leave. I know that's how I ran my store. Maybe you haven't been in close proximity to a really dirty homeless person, not only is the odor foul and pervasive, it is also really hard to get rid of from the furniture. Now that's not really so much the homeless persons fault as just the result of the way they live.
Sometimes it's hard to accept, but the business is private property and is there to make money, which is hard to do when a foul odor drives people away. We weren't there so don't have the full story or the smell of it.
There may be a history with the person. Can’t take one instance and make a case.
What happened to all the bums and hobos?
He has a history. Plus, If one hasn’t been around a number of actual homeless, then one has no idea of how bad they can reek if they do’t bath - can get so ripe that nobody around would be able to eat a bite.....don’t know if this was so for this guy but it would kill a business to let them hang around inside.
