The Hamburglar didn’t start the trend. Chicago was gangster ridden for decades before him.

I wonder if McDonald’s Hamburger University will be shut down in Chicago and be relocated to a Red State.

McDonald’s will stay in all the areas of Chicago where decent, God fearing, honest, family oriented good people live. Where employees and customers can feel safe.

Headline:
Last Chicago McDonald’s closing down signals end of an era.

The Hamburglar wants a lot more than your cheeseburger in Chicago.

All joking side, this is indeed a new issue for McDonalds. You may or may not know that "Hamburger U" is in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.

This dovetails into the stories about locations that have installed doorbells at the entry to inside dining areas, and those areas are for for over 21 and above.

Could the University of Chicago move? Or just rename themselves? “University of Chicongo”?

I think they’re going to start shutting down everywhere, and not just because of the crime. In recent years, their prices have soared, the quality of the food has gone down, and the customer service is the worst it’s ever been, I suspect, because of staff shortages. There are lots of other fast food places now that I can pay a buck or two more for a much better product and service.

“I’m lovin’ it...”

More like “I’m leaving it...”.

I wonder how present day Chicago stacks up to the Capone era in terms of gang crime

Ohio.

MONROE, Ohio (WKRC) — New details have emerged regarding an assault at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Monroe, where a woman allegedly attacked an employee over issues with her order.

New details have emerged regarding an assault at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Monroe, where a woman allegedly attacked an employee over issues with her order. (WKRC, Monroe Police Department)

According to Monroe police, 43-year-old Tia Hatch assaulted a McDonald’s employee after becoming upset with her food order and the wait time. Surveillance footage showed Hatch backing up her car at the drive-thru from the third window, exiting the vehicle, and approaching the second window. She is seen speaking with an employee before returning to the third window, where the assault took place.

Police reports indicated that Hatch twisted the employee’s wrist and swung at her.
A manager at the restaurant called 911 to report the incident.

“She was just down here threatening everybody, just threw a pop at my third window, and was threatening to fight one of my managers to come outside and was literally screaming and throwing a huge fit. We gave her her refund for her food and everything. She only waited like 10 minutes, but she wanted cooked ordered food,” said the manager.

Hatch drove away following the altercation, but the manager provided police with her license plate number, leading to her arrest. Hatch has been charged with assault.

Police body camera footage has been requested but will not be available until next week.


Note, MANY other stories.

It’s the usual story. Weak politicians + weak judges = hardships for the average person. And the troublemakers? They’ll just move on, and terrorize someplace else.

But my local McDonald’s has no plans to shut down. It’s an orderly place. Maybe that’s because the local Ronald is a 2A kind of guy.
