Would you like a Heimlich with that? Hero McDonald's employee, 15, jumps through drive-thru window to save customer choking on a chicken McNugget

By the time I started, hamburgers and fries were both 20 cents. A Big Mac was 55 cents, Filet-O-Fish 40 cents.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

It was 16 in 1971 is all I know. The only other labor-law type thing I recall is that you got a 20-minute break if you worked more than 5 hours, and a second 20-minute break for every 8 hours past 5 hours.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Clumsily phrased. I meant “an additional 20-minute break for every 8 hours past 5 hours”.

Not a dude.

At the risk of sounding rude or something, you are exactly 16 years older than me based on your statement.

A pleasure gabbing with you by the way.

I often wonder what life would be like had I grown up in the 60s.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Yep, born in May 1955. Very nice chatting with you as well.

I, too, wonder what life would be like had I grown up in the 60s. Perhaps I’ll grow up in the 2020s, but it seems unlikely.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Kudos to the dude but geez, that person had to mighty hungry to devour a chicken nugget while waiting for change in drive-thru....../s

Devoured it? Sounds like he INHALED it!

I had to use the Heimlich on my wife in a crowded restaurant, she was choking on a piece of meat. I couldn’t get my arms around the big chair she was sitting in, so I had to do it one handed.
And not one person in that restaurant noticed.

Well done, Sydney! I’m curious, though, when McDonald’s started hiring 15-year-olds. I had to wait until I was 16 before they’d hire me in 1971.

Who cares........Sydney has high level autism

[Old Yeller]

So the customer was snarfing down McNuggets even before pulling away from the drive up window?

[jurroppi1]

Nice! Too funny.

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

Not to demean this, but really, do you have to have autism to recall something you learned four years ago? As long as they are paying attention, most kids would remember that.

Some autistics possess photographic memory. That’s probably what her dad was getting at.
