    I guess that McDonald’s is gonna see a sharp decline in customer volume now which is already probably low since it was like 8 bucks for a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin meal the last time I went a few months ago.

      You vastly overestimate how closely the average person is following this story, or is willing to change their behavior for events like this. Especially in a place like Altoona, Pennsylvania.

        I was wondering if the person who turned him in has been following the overwhelming sense of support for what he did.

        Basically, did they think about that before doing anything, or did they not give it a second thought because they didn’t realize there could be a backlash?
