Florida man doesn't get straw, attacks McDonald's employee
WCJB ^ | 01/02/2019

Taylor was unaware of a new city law that went into effect on Jan. 1 requiring customers to request straws.

Despite being told of the new law, Taylor began screaming at employees, claiming that the law did not exist, WFTS reports.

Taylor grabbed employee Yasmine James by the shirt collar and pulled her onto the counter. James attempted to defend herself by punching Taylor in the face.

After leaving the restaurant, Taylor returned to yell at the store manager and kicked another employee in the stomach before he once again left the scene.

Taylor was later arrested and charged with two counts of battery.

check out the last paragraph: "Our highest priority is always the safety and well-being of our employees and customers at our restaurants." said a McDonald's spokesperson.

Yes, McDonalds is so concerned with safety and well being of "employees" - so much so that the employee who was so violently assaulted (over a stinking straw) was terminated for defending herself (or so I have read in a couple of places).

Over a straw...This guy is a mental case and is going to pull this kind of thing on the wrong person one day and that person may just cure him.

Yeah, but....

Some pimple face hands you a drink with a lid on it - BUT NO STRAW?

And all because of an idiot new law?

This would not be my breaking point. But it was for this guy.

Why make this about skin color?

It’s about a dumb eco-law.

Yeah, but I bet Yasmine is black. And I bet she left a few marks.

Taylor grabbed employee Yasmine James by the shirt collar and pulled her onto the counter. James attempted to defend herself by punching Taylor in the face.

Least I hope she did.

California has the (similar) law that began on Jan 1.

Amazon has a box 380 straws individually wrapped for $8

I guess I should get a box and leave in the car.

It’s California’s fault. They banned plastic straws and now everyone is falling in line. There was a story about a British man who opened a restaurant in Dallas who not only voluntarily doesn’t carry straws, he provides a environmental lecture to anyone who asks for one. He can stick his restaurant up his bloody bum.

Normal rules don’t apply to Florida.
America’s Australia defies normalcy.

Not slamming you, but there are crazy, unhinged whites out there for sure.

Three recent examples:
MAGA-hating, vape store worker (former)
Transgendered gaming “woman” in Gamestop
9/11 victim-hating Antifa dude in Oregon

And I come up with plenty from the not so distant past.
