An infamous McDonald’s restaurant is finally closing down after receiving well over 1,000 calls to police over criminal activity including a viral brawl where a customer unleashed a pet raccoon.
A McDonald’s located in Canada’s capital of Ottawa will be shutting its doors for good after years of criminal complaints and debauchery taking place at the fast food joint.
The location, dubbed by many as the “world’s worst,” has seen plenty of wild stories over the years from sexual acts taking place in its washrooms, drug deals and fights between patrons.
As CTV News reports, the police were called to the then 24-hour restaurant 800 times in 2018, prompting concerns about “ongoing criminal activity and social disorder.”
Despite the store changing its hours, in 2022 the location still had over 150 calls to cops as nefarious behavior continued to plague the area.
In 2013, the McDonald’s location went viral after a brawl between multiple customers was recorded on a cell phone.
Amid the chaos and haymakers, one of the patrons even pulled a raccoon out of his jacket. What the raccoon was doing getting involved in such a spectacle remains a mystery.
The video has been viewed nearly 1M times since first being uploaded on YouTube and remains one of the craziest restaurant brawls not involving a Waffle House.
A few years later, a former manager for the McDonald’s held an AMA on Reddit where they revealed the most disturbing moments they experienced working at the store.
“One night, not dissuaded by the locked doors, this guy and girl went the ‘dirty-divot’ (the nook right in front of the washrooms). Via the security camera, we noticed some unusual behavior,” they said.
“At that moment, some random tried to enter the locked bathroom. After no success at opening the door, and completely ignoring the friendly couple, started to poop right on the floor right next to them At no point did either party acknowledge the other. All three finished at about the same time, and went their separate ways.”
The madness didn’t stop there. According to the manager, they were even threatened one night for kicking a customer out after he assaulted a woman.
“He told me he was going to wait for me to get off work and kill me, and proceeded to wait outside the store for two hours,” the manager revealed, adding that the police couldn’t do anything about it.
“The guy came back the next day and apologized, to which I accepted. However, a week later, the same guy came back, assaulted another woman, and now he’s banned for life.”
The current McDonald’s location is scheduled for lease in the third quarter of 2023.
I.e. Greens Point Mall in Houston is now known as Guns Point Mall
American McDonalds now have something to aim for. I’m sure they’ll take the challenge and do a bang up job.
That video is from 8 years ago.
Rocky Raccoon walked into McDonald’s ...
What? A guy can’t bring his pet racoon out for a snack?
Its fight club with a side of McRibs
“I was expecting this closed one to be THAT one.”
maybe that one will now be line as the new “worst McDonalds” in the world ...
They are an invasive species.
It’s MCD. Who cares?
“Suddenly he found himself staring down the barrel of a pearl handled ferret”
Since we’re stuck in this motel due to the fire I’ve been accursed to eating fast food.
The dog will eat Wendy’s but not Burger King or McDonalds burgers.
Ponder that.
Omigosh, that’s bizarre and hilarious. 😂
So, not an assault-style, military raccoon?

I don't quite understand... Could you please expand upon that? What exactly do you mean?
That the Catholic Church had become aware of the fact that people frequently use sacred expressions in their profanities? Is that something new?

I will bet that was the McD’s at the corner of New York Ave. and the Bladensburg Road. That is a very bad neighborhood indeed.
That is a very interesting area. Situational awareness is paramount.
Once I bought a sausage sandwich at an outdoor venue, sat down at a picnic table, and took one bite of the sandwich. It didn't appeal to me, but I noticed a stray cat hanging around. So, I put it down on the ground, the cat sniffed it once, and immediately ran away!
There was about a 5 block strip on the main boulevard stretching from the interstate type highway on the south to the river on the north that was a hot spot for night life. Not my style, never went there. I wonder if this is where this McD was located? There's another neighborhood niche a few minutes from downtown and adjacent to the river that also comes to mind.
It is somehow comforting to know that this stuff goes on in other supposedly civilized countries, too.
Well, yes and no. There’s a reason for the otherwise strange tendency to call vulgar words like the f-word, ‘profanities,’ being that “forbidden” words were often sacred words. The usage was just over-extended from words like “damned” to the F bomb.
But in French Canada, using sacred words is as socially off-putting as using sexual words used to be in America. Saying “tabernacle” came to be like saying vulgar terms for a vagina. “Prepare to enter the sanctuary,” a call to repentance and reconciliation with God, thus sort of comes across like, “Prepare to enter the womb,” but with the offensiveness of something more like, “Prepare to enter the c*nt.”
All the more bizarre is the fact that the Catholic Church has described the Temple of Jerusalem as a mere foreshadowing of the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Temple was merely a construction for housing the written word of God, infinitely inferior to the blessed womb of Mary which actually held and gave form to Jesus Christ. Thus, entering the Holy of Holies was something reserved only for one man, the high priest. But as a priestly people unified in Christ, we may now enter the sanctuary... if we have been made pure by the blood of Christ.
This all served to make French speaker feel very weird when the misuse of sacred terms is brought to mind. The subversion of the Holy by the profane was stood on its end: the very same feeling that it’s not right to use words like “c*nt” was used to establish that the sacred should also be set apart.
