McDonald's may be facing one of the worst backlashes after an employee made a move that landed the fast food chain in the middle of one of the year's biggest controversies.
The CEO of American health carrier UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, was gunned down and killed outside of a hotel in New York City by a masked suspect during the early hours of the morning last Wednesday.
According to the police, the suspect was captured on security footage heading to Manhattan's Central Park on an electric bike immediately after the crime and then taking a taxi to a bus station to flee the city.
After a five-day search, the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare (UNH) CEO shooting, twenty-six-year-old Luigi Mangione, was arrested Monday on a gun charge at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, thanks to a McDonald's employee who alerted the police after a customer spotted the suspect.
The same day Mangione was taken into custody, multiple users flooded Google (GOOGL) with negative reviews about the McDonald's (MCD) location where the arrest occurred.
These reviews were unrelated to its business. Instead, they referred to political views, with some allegedly glorifying the suspect for the crime and slamming the McDonald's employee for calling the police.
Not only were the McDonald's Google reviews bombarded, but Yelp also suffered the same fate with thousands of negative reviews about the location.

Looks like I'll be eating at McDonald's more often
Nope. No one is suffering because of this. Media is pushing this narrative.
I believe the Mc Donalds worker who notified the cops is eligible for a $50,000 reward.
Wowsa.
Exactly.
“The same day Mangione was taken into custody, multiple users flooded Google (GOOGL) with negative reviews about the McDonald’s (MCD) location where the arrest occurred.”
The nice thing about having 13,000 restaurants is that people will VERY RARELY read a review for a particular location, but instead already know the location and likely have been there many times, or at least have eaten at McDonald’s many times.
Now for a mom-and-pop joint, the reviews are make or break.
So cold-blooded murder is nothing more than a "controversy?"
Do they have to split the reward with the Starbucks folks that gave out the pictures used to identify him?
Where are the calls for a Starbucks boycott?
Just how many people read a review about a McDonald’s?? NO ONE does, just typical leftist bs watch for antifa to start violence
I never read a McDonald's review until I saw this article. Nonetheless, it's revolting that so many look upon this murderer as a hero.
“I believe the Mc Donalds worker who notified the cops is eligible for a $50,000 reward.”
he will never get a dollar.
The whole reward thing was a scam from the beginning.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

BTTT
Seriously sick little lefty scum bag.
“I believe the Mc Donalds worker who notified the cops is eligible for a $50,000 reward.”
A customer made the ID.
How many people here really think the FBI and DOJ didn’t know where he was before the call?
I did not torch McD (those employees deserve the reward money) but I left a negative review for the prep school that produced the murderer. Nice ethics they teach there
Dopes in the media want us to believe McDonalds is like a regular sit down restaurant that people check reviews of before their “fine dinning experience.”
Go away!
Lefties shouldn’t be trashing McDonald’s. After all, Kamala worked there—she said so!
its got to be the dumbest thing the leftist are doing.
