Please, no one burn it down.
Look I’m sad they found him too, and fuck the people who turned him in, but no good will come from burning down the inanimate building where the caught him.
It would be a dispersion of the energies created by his act into a useless thing. Not to mention you might end up killing some people in the process; more or less innocent people. So can we tone it down a notch.
That's still just a chore for the local firefighters. The employee walking away with their $50,000 reward probably won't care that their minimum wage workplace got burned down.
What reward? They didn't get shit.
Is it confirmed that the person didn't get the $50k reward that was posted?
Not 100% until the dust settles, especially given the amount of attention on this story. Someone might pull some levers and get it done for posterity.
But at the same time, yes. At this point the /tipster/ didn't report using the Crime Stoppers line, they called 911. So no Crime Stoppers bounty for them, so say the rules of our corporate masters.
Better luck next time snitches, or just don't help the rich because they'll never have your back!

They’ll care when they need a job again after burning through that 50k. Which might take, oh… about as long as it takes to rebuild a McDonald’s.
It's in a mall.
That does complocate things
I’d argue the original act is far more effective at sending a message
You're right, of course, burning down a building would be pointless.
I hope that everything is well with the McDonald's CEO and that he's safe and happy.
Was it the staff or a customer. That’s still up in the air, depending on the article.
I don't think they want the identity of the rat getting out. I'm willing to bet that there are plenty of people who really want to publicly remind everybody that snitches get stitches. Word on the street is that this rat can suddenly afford a $60k hospital bill, unlike UHC customers whose claims get denied every day.
I guess getting two nights in a hospital is worth throwing a hero under a bus.
My bet: the rat don't exist.
The old dude that reported him was literally full faced giving an interview on TV. Forgot which outlet but I don't think they care about his identity.
Iirc, it was a staff member.
Yeah I think they are pushing this customer thing to take the heat off of another corporation
Last I heard it was a customer who let the employees know and an employee who made the call, so if that's true, both, kind of
Where did you hear that one from?
I'm not positive but I think it may have been TV news, but it does make sense and explains the confusion if true
No. Fuck you.
agreed
I agree with you. Unfortunately for both of us, history says we are wrong. 😔
I don't get it. Why should that McDonalds and its staff suffer?
It's McDonald's. The staff was already suffering.
Bet everyone who works there knows who the snitch is.
"Since the spotting happened in private property, the reward will go to the private owners of said property."
Franchise owner: Good job! -Hands over $100 gift card-
For $60k it could be anyone. That'd probably be double the manager's yearly income, and more than anyone else's there.
I hope they don't pay out.
Because a mob isn't very nuanced in its judgement.
Maybe put that energy into something useful instead
Like?
More ceo's.
Haha. Sure okay. You do one and then I’ll do one.
