Quick Rant about McDonald's
McDonald's in general--okay. McDonald's in Charleston, MS--awful!!! Since the McDonald's in charleston is halfway between Water Valley and Sumner, it is an awfully convenient point to meet Guy's mom. Louise is keeping Mabry for a couple of days intermittently since Guy and I are back to work. Last night, we went to meet Mabry and Louise for the switch up at McDonald's. When we realized it was five thirty, we thought that we should go ahead and get something to eat. guy got in line and after five minutes asked another girl what was taking so long. At that point, everyone in the restaurant (Guy, four people in line, Mabry, Louise, me, Gabe, two toddlers, and three other people (including a grandmother with two toddlers) realized that all the employees were in the back and were shouting. All of the sudden, we hear two people fighting. We all looked at each other in shock. One girl bursts out of the back and tells the grandmother, "Let's go. i'm not putting up with this s****!" and goes to the other side of the McDonald's, which is a Shell station. Another girl comes out of the back with the other employees following. This girl is holding a broom. The grandmother yells, "You are NOT going to hit her with that broom!" and starts swinging while holding one of the babies. I immediately went with Gabe to the back of the restaurant since mabry was with Guy and Louise. Guy grabbed one of the toddlers (whose mother was fighting at this point in the Shell station) to keep him safe. Someone said to call the cops and right at that moment, someone from the wildlife and fisheries department came in and broke it up. The customers stood there in shock for a couple of minutes until we realized that Mabry was crying because she was so scared. We all calmed Mabry down and decided to leave without eating. We explained to Mabry that people fight when they have no manners and that everything was okay. When we got home, I called the national McDonald's headquarters to complain. I explained the situation (oh, the girls who fought--they were the managers!) and have informed them that we will no longer go to that McDonald's. We will find another place. I think this was the most bizarre fast food experience that we have ever had and feel lucky that none of the children were hurt.
