    I like the conspiracy theory that the MCDonalds worker doesn’t exist and is just a front to hide illegal government surveilance, the likes Snowden warned about. I hope Snowden is well, all things considered. That man deserves peace of mind, hard to come by when you’re stuck in Russia.

      That’s… not a bad idea. Even if it isn’t true we should roll with it.

      It seems getting people to believe wild and crazy things is how you get your side to win

            The employee “doxxed” a customer in their McDonalds.

            Turnabout is fair play. If they didn’t want the attention, they should have kept their head down and minded their own business.

              She apparently also missed the tip money because she called 911 instead of the tip line. LMAO

              Apparently she also got fired for calling 911 on company time for something not related to McDonalds. (and probably due to the backlash that McDonalds is getting)

              That’s about what I would have expected.

      I don’t see why they need a front. They could just say they tracked him down from regular evidence

      Imagine coming top of your class all through school, you fly your way up the ladder by being great at what you do, you get to be part of a super secret intelligence grabbing mission and you then you find out your the one working the fries.

      60k, between multiple agencies and split between tipsters, once there is a conviction, and subject to taxes.

      If he gets a conviction, McDonalds worker will be lucky to get $20 and a coupon for a free 5-piece tendies. Hope it was worth it.

    Cute but please don’t cheapen the idea of consent by attaching it to this low-quality bait.
