Summary
McDonald’s locations in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and Altoona, Iowa, were flooded with false 1-star reviews after the arrest of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s suspected killer at an Altoona, PA, McDonald’s.
Users posted claims of rats, poor service, and references to the employee who reported the suspect.
Some reviews mocked the arrest, calling the location “Narc-donalds” and joking about the staff’s actions.
The surge in reviews appears to be a mix of humor and criticism tied to the high-profile arrest.
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?
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.
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.
Wait til the building is empty. The good comes from sending a message. The message being that the rat is now allied with the enemy. Hopefully it will prevent further class traitors.
I don’t get it. Why should that McDonalds and its staff suffer?
Because a mob isn’t very nuanced in its judgement.
Maybe put that energy into something useful instead
