Who is Driving that McDonalds?
Just after high school I was working third shift at McDonalds at the end of our city’s busy bar area, so strange encounters were not uncommon. One night sticks out in my mind vividly though. I was working the last window, where you are handed your food.
It was around 2:30-3 am when an older man, I’d say in his 50’s or so pulled in. He drove up and ordered at the speaker like normal, paid for his food (I think) then pulls away from that window and drives straight into mine. Not up to, into.
He crashed his mid 90’s red jeep cherokee directly into the window at an angle, so it was head on nor a sideswipe but that happy 45 degree medium. He hit it hard enough that I seen part of the wall buckle and light shine through briefly. I popped the window open and asked if we was alright.
Stone cold serious the man says “What the hell is wrong with you?!” Then starts going on about calling the cops and I better not leave. We go back and forth and the police show up (they frequented this location). Jump to the end of the ordeal, the man filed a police report that I had crashed into him.
Yup, told the cops I hit him with Mcdonalds; and they had to follow up as if I did in fact drive the building into him. Turns out he was on some heavy sleeping pills, not sure if my store manager went after the guy for anything though.
To top it all off the store manager doc’d me for driving Mcdonalds into a customers vehicle, and informed me if it happened again I’d be fired; obviously was a joke, he was a pretty cool guy. Story credit: Reddit / reloaded05
