Although
Ronald McDonald is as jolly as can
be most of the time, occasionally he really
trips up.
Yahoo Odd News reports that an
elderly couple
(both in their 80s) had been in the habit
of enjoying what they called “scrunch” (a
snack between supper and lunch) at the Culpepper,
Virginia McDonald’s.
Then
one day a “Grinch” type employee attempted
to whisk them right out of there for
sitting “too long.” She literally and figuratively
slung dirt their way by sweeping
the floor right near to where they
were sitting.
Before
you could say “Big Mac,” the manager
came by and announced: You two have to
leave. Your half-hour’s up and we have to clean
this floor now.
Them’s
fightin’ words. The couple wasn’t
about to take this sitting down. They
got up and left, but not before telling
the manager that he needed additional
training. And not before making
up their minds to do something about
it…
A
letter was afterwards sent to the editor of
the local newspaper. This informed the
public of what had happened. The story
then quickly spread via social media. Pretty soon, a compassionate response
came through loud and clear.
A
local restaurant owner offered the couple
free “scrunch” one day a week for
life. Not only that, he will henceforth be
offering all seniors and veterans
free coffee
on Wednesdays.
