NEW YORK, Nov 21 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp employees on Thursday sued the fast food giant and several of its franchisees in Chicago over a store redesign that staffers say has made it easier for angry customers to leap over the counter and attack them.
There's a reason for "Big Mack Attacks" ... it's because the "angry customers" know that the workers have no defense against gratuitous violence.
Either put a cage between the customer and the employees, or arm the employees.
Anybody here have a better solution?
Yeah ... I know. Neither is an acceptable solution.
If I was a McDonald's employee, I would rather my employer find a solution.
I'm not suggesting that teenage employees be armed, but I wouldn't want to work at a place where I was such an easy target.
NEW YORK, Nov 21 (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp employees on Thursday sued the fast food giant and several of its franchisees in Chicago over a store redesign that staffers say has made it easier for angry customers to leap over the counter and attack them.
The suit, filed in Illinois' Circuit Court of Cook County by 17 Chicago-area McDonald's workers, claims McDonald's has failed to protect them from a pattern of violence.
Employees have been threatened with guns, beaten with a wet-floor sign, had kitchen equipment thrown at them by a naked customer, been pepper-sprayed, been flashed and propositioned, and even urinated on, according to the complaint.

Popeye employees attack customers, customers attack employee, and customers' attack each other over Popeye's famous chicken sandwich. It might just be safer to stay at home and fix your own food.

This sounds like normal behavior for Chicago/Cook, Co. residents.

It was on this day a year ago that Jerry's keyboard went silent. Here is wishing Jerry a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I can remember when the Geek was a frequent writer, and he had many posts dissecting range lawyers. Those were the good ole days. Now he has become one of the disappeared.
To the Geek: Wishing you a Happy New Year, wherever you are.
We all miss you Jerry.
Another month has passed as Jerry Da Geek remains silent. No one knows where he is, or why his keyboard suddenly stopped.
Another long month goes by with no word whatsoever from, or regarding the Geek. Where is he? Is he OK?
We are approaching another month with no word from Jerry Da Geek. It has been well over a year since he last spoke. He seems to have disappeared.

Happy Juneteenty, Jerrt
Happy Father's Day, Jerry.
Another month has gone by, with no words from Da Geek. I fear the worst.
A day without words from Jerry, is like a day without books.
Another day goes by without the wisdom of The Geek
Hoping that The Geek is able to enjoy and Red, White and Blue 4th of July tomorrow.
I miss Jerry's bogs and pithy comments.
Based on news reports, I am starting to wonder if Chicago is a place I want to take my family on vacation.
Antipoda
Chicago is no longer as safe place to visit
I wonder what Jerry thinks about the mass shootings that occur every weekend in Chicago?
Curious as to what Da Geek thinks about the mask mandates?
Another month has gone by with only silence from Jerry The Geek. It's sad.
Are Chicago's strict gun control laws reducing gun violence?
Chicago had over a 100 homicides in July,2021.
I agree Chicago is not on my bucket list of cities to visit, or vacation in.
The moral here is, when in Chicago stay out of MacDonald's.
What words of inspiration does Jerry have for veterans in these difficult time?
GGB
Is it MacDonalds, or is it Chicago that is the problem?
Sometimes it seems the country is going crazy. What is Jerry's take on this from the great NW?
The question everyone is asking, has the Covid taken Jerry away from us?
Has Covid silenced The Geek?
Poor service at a MacDonalds has it's consequences.

Today Mayor Lightfoot blamed out-of-state guns for the many gun deaths in Chicago, including the death of a young female police officer.
Many think the violence in Chicago is caused by the communities anger over White Supremacy.
A new day and a new crisis, without the Geek to explain and clarify things.
BLT
According to the news, covid is so rampant in Oregon the the governor has called out the national guard to assist in hospitals statewide. I hope Jerry is safe.
BLT
I am sure that Jerry's local MacDonald's is much safer, and friendlier than many in Chicago.
BLT
The Muse of USPSA/IPSC is still silent.
The Geek is getting a lot of comments to his web site.
Over a year and a half ago Mark O. said Jerry was OK and he was off line for awhile. That was a long time ago. Do we know that the Geek is still OK???
Almost two years ago the Geek went silent. Something is wrong here.
I miss Jerry and his wit/wisdom.
BLT
A day without the Geek's wit and wisdom is like a day without sunshine.
For Jerry The Geek
****** I apologize immediately ******
When will you be back online with your blog?
For Jerry The Geek

Where is Jerry??
Another day and almost another month gone by with no word from or about Jerry The Geek.
BLT
Waiting anxiously for word from, or about, Jerry The Geek.
BLT
Geek please e mail us!
I heard there were only five killed in Chicago over the past weekend by guns.
I wish to once again hear Jerry's comments and opinions on USPSA/IPSC shooting, new rules, range lawyers, and stage design etc.
A new month has arrived and Jerry is still silent.
Labor Day is only a couple of days away. Be safe Jerry and enjoy the holiday.
On the other hand, in our area as least, MacDonalds employees are well paid and have good benefits. I never read about incidents like this at a MacDonalds.
Happy Labor Day
9/11 Never Forget
Almost every weekend in Chicago/Cook Co. is bloodier and more violent than the preceding weekend. Leadership is doing nothing to stop the violence.
BLT
Another month has gone by with no word from Da Geek. Very soon it will be two years since Jerry has spoken to us through his blog. :-(
Please speak to us Jerry.
Maybe MacDonald's should make their food free for those who live in the community. Sort of a reparation for slavery.
Where I live MacDonald's food is juicy and tasty. Good eating.
That is what happens when you do not provide really good service for the folks in the community.
Another month has gone by without a word from Jerry The Geek. Next month it will be two years since he went silent.
Went to a Mac Ds today for lunch. It made me think of Jerry, and wonder whatever happened to him.
Arm the employees with a can of hornet spray.
To Jerry: welcome home veteran.
It has been two years since Jerry last communicated with us!! What happened? Why did he stop?
Happy Thanksgiving Jerry. I hope you spent this day with friends and family
BLT
Food riots happen.
Jerry, did you have a good shopping day on Black Friday?
Does anyone know if Jerry is still attending USPSA/IPSC matches/
What are Jerry's insider comments on what has been happening with the USPSA the past several months?
So far this year, Chicago/Cook Co. has had over 1000 homicides. A very violent place.
BLT
Never forget 07/12/45, Pearl Harbor Day.
A date that will live in infamy.
MsD's burgers and fries are very tasty.
Where is Frank Zappa?
Geek, you are not forgotten during this holiday season.
BLT
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family, Jerry.
Happy New Year Geek, I hope you are enjoying it with family and friends.
Has Jerry The Geek been canceled and disappeared???
Jerry, I hope you had some good lutefiske over the holidays. I think you once remarked it was one of your favorite ethnic foods.
Jerry, hoping you have a very warm and happy Valentines Day.
Today is Mexican Food Day, I hope Jerry enjoyed so of the fine Mexican food that Oregon is famous for.
What is Jerry's take on the war in Ukrain?
Something about Mac Ds. You never hear about these problems at Burger King or Whataburger.
Soon there will be no more hamburger joints do to lack of, or high price of beef. All part to the plan to destroy the beef industry and the Green New Deal.
It's been about 2 and a half years since Jerry's blog went silent. What happened to him? Why did he quit? Where is he?
Chicago does not need gun control. It needs criminal control.
I hope the Geek had a Happy Easter, with family and friends.
The Cook,Co.State's Attorney should quit giving out Get Out of Jail Free cards to all the thugs.
It has been slightly over two and a half years since Jerry went silent. What happened?
Please reach out to your many fans.
In Oregon, Antifa rules. Law enforcement is helpless.
Now that DaGeek is silent, we have no insight into what is going on with USPSA.
I have read that many MacDonald's in Chicago now have armed security guards (off duty cops). That alone is a sad state of affairs when a hamburger eatery needs an armed security guard. There is something wrong with the community.
They must have some really great burgers and fry's if people are fighting to get one.
Mac Ds' is a great American institution. It serves healthy, nutritious and tasty food.
Last night (Friday) 8 people were shot and two killed in an altercation outside of a Chicago McDonalds. Them Chicago folks sure get worked up about their Big Macs and fries.
This is an anniversary of Jerry going silent after this day in 2019.
I hope Jerry is celebrating Memorial Day surrounded by family and friends.
How many will be shot and/or killed during memorial day celebrations in Chicago this year?
Thinking about the Geek.
Does Chicago have a behavior problem with it's black community?
Based on the news, Chicago is a dangerous place. Especially on the weekends.
Chicago (Highland Park) shows us how to celebrate 7/4.
Chicago's gun related death rate continues to climb. Mass shootings are frequent occurrence. The Windy City is beginning to look like a dangerous place to be.
Will the DNC hold their 2024 national convention in Chicago?
The number of shootings and body count in Chicago just keep going up and up. Not a safe place to vacation.
Thirty Five shot, 8 killed this past weekend in Chicago. How safe is Chicago as a vacation destination, or for conventions?
Further woes for Chicago Mac Ds', crime has gotten so bad that they cannot find people brave enough to flip burgers in their establishments. More and more Mac Donalds are closing because of lack of employees. Despite it's strict gun laws, Chicago resembles a war zone.
The Mayor is unhappy with Mac D's CEO and his remarks about Chicago's alleged high crime rate. She advised him to STF up and school himself on the situation.
Has Chicago imploded yet?
Sometime in the near future, Chicago may become a McDonald free city. No more big Macs for Chicago.
Soon you may have to go outside of Chicago/Cook Co. in order to buy a Big Mac or a Sausage-Egg McMuffin.
A recent study has shown that Chicago has the highest number of rats per capita of any large city in the U.S. It is even rattier than NYC. I have taken Chicago off my list of potential vacation destinations.
Chicago's mayor has called for a ban on "weapons of war". That should solve Chicago's/Cook Co.'s crime problem.
Will election day be settled by gunfire?
Chicago just keeps getting more unsafe every day.
Chicago continually resembles a war zone. It can be a dangerous place to visit.
It got so bad in Chicago that their mayor was defeated for reelection. Now the mayoral race goes to a run off election.
Can Chicago be saved, or is it a hopeless case?
based upon news reports, Chicago continues it's downward spiral.
Jerry Da Geek, please respond. Let your fans know that you are well and doing well.
Within a few hours of the summer opening of North Beach in Chicago, they had a major brawl involving almost a hundred youths, with shots being fired. Don't forget Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.
It has been three years and many months since the Muse of USPSA-IPSC has posted on his site. Why? What has happened to the Geek?
Antipoda,
Stick a fork in it, Chicago is done.
Can the Windy City afford all the illegal aliens it has attracted? Get out the popcorn.
life in Chicago just keeps getting more and more dangerous.
In addition to it's usual murder and mayhem, you can add huge antisemitic protests to the things that make you want to avoid a visit to the Windy City.
Things are going from bad to worse in the Windy City.
It was recently reported that Chicago has become a graveyard of dead electric vehicles. These vehicles were killed by unusual cold, which occurred during a period of purported global warming.
Antipoda
Chicago is being overrun by migrants from south of the border. A Big Mac combo meal costs almost $18.00 (US $) and the community is not happy with the situation.
Chicago continues to go downhill.
Is Chicago a Doom Loop City???
Antipoda
There are going to be interesting times when the democrat national convention arrives in Chicago. Stock up on your popcorn.
Antipoda
Is the Windy City entering into a Doom Loop?
I have heard that Chicago-Cook Co. is one the metropolitan areas that people that are able too are fleeing in great numbers.
Miss your wit and wisdom, Geek
Enjoy your $16.00 Big Mack meal.
Thankfully the DNC Convention in Chicago was mostly peaceful.
Chicago has not improved since this summation by Jerry, years ago.
Now Venezuelan gangs are going to war with the Black gangs in Chicago. They are fighting for turf and apartment buildings. Interesting times in the Windy City, the City with Big Shoulders.
Chicago continues to be the same ole Chicago, only worse. Winter is approaching. Maybe that will slow the carnage.
And then Trump worked a shift at Mac D's and there was Joy in Mudville.
