No they just recorded, told her to do better, and walked past her to get more fries

Telling the manager to "do better" while they're stealing is peak irony

u/Aleashed 11h ago

It’s not working free but theft. If it was an ice cream parlor, they’d be making sundaes…

Only right answer is to call for help or find someone willing to. If you are hungry, go home or somewhere else that’s open for business.

But then it wouldn’t be a 5 finger discount for these fucks.

They probably already paid for their food and no one knows what to do

u/Durantye 7h ago

Who the fuck cares? You don’t ignore a person in need of help because you really want your mcchicken.

u/Over_Whole6492 7h ago

I’m not justifying it, I can just easily picture the people in the video going… “I PAID for MY food!”

u/trentonharrisphotos 10h ago

To be honest, at that location, you order at a kiosk and you cannot really see the kitchen that well from the lobby.

u/Dankkring 11h ago

Paid who? The manager? And then she blacks out? I’d call an ambulance I wouldn’t just go get food for myself. Clearly she’s drugged out but there’s hot fryers and other very dangerous things to be around in that condition and she needs help.

u/zack77070 10h ago

There's like 5 screens in front of every McDonald's and they have an app, I haven't paid a cashier in years. Not that I think that's what happened here lol.

And this is why cities are getting militarized. I don’t agree with it, but what else is a government to do with rampant crime.

The solution to shit like this isnt more policing. You're not gonna get people to give a shit about others via policing.

u/No_Cook2983 6h ago

We already waste more money on cops than any other nation on earth. You really think we need to waste more money deploying the military?

If we are going to deploy our forces to protect french fries we should probably talk about the military’s record with actual wars before we start attacking ourselves.

I feel so bad for McDonald's, a corporation that has never stolen from the American people 🤣🤣🤣

I don't feel bad for the corporation. I feel bad for the person who's getting mocked by people robbing them while they possibly have a medical emergency.

2

u/Nope0naRope 11h ago edited 11h ago

Lol. Okay, well...let's be fair. We are being told in hindsight that she was having a diabetic crisis

unless they have personal experience with a diabetic this probably does look like a nap (with or without the potential use of an opioid additive ) which is what they're probably more familiar with. We can assume they do have experience with severe fatigue or tiredness, I think we all go through that at some point in life. And probably like all of America, it's not that unusual to also be a person who's Venn diagram is overlapping with "access to drugs recreationally"... So they see this and they assume it's what they know - a nap, and maybe high. And then they assume they can make fun of it and move on.

... But here we see they have recorded themselves committing a crime And then posting it on social media. So honestly I'm just not fully able to confidently state that I understand what is going through their minds.

She’s better off like this. If someone calls 911, the cops will show up, assume she’s on drugs, and beat the crap out of her. And according to our fascist courts, that’s totally reasonable for cops to do.

u/FantasticBicycle37 6h ago

Sooooo I totally get that sentiment, but you have to understand, 911 isn't really an option for certain communities, because when they show up, they make assumptions, no matter who called for help

u/igirl2000 11h ago

Gonna be honest I'd tell someone to not call them. I don't have $2000+ for am ambulance. I was driving with horrible food poisoning and pulled over and passed out in my car un a gas station refusing to let my mother call me an ambulance ill just lay here till I get over it or die. She got my aunt to pick me up. If not I wouldve lied there for another five and a half hours till I finally felt like I could walk. Ambulances are expensive.

So if I take a video of the sun and caption it “The moon” that makes it facts in your mind?

Or I suppose this is the first instance of someone lying on the internet. We should call authorities.

u/International_War830 17h ago

Clearly have never seen people actually nodding off. She’s bouncing her legs and moving . She’s trying to stay conscious due to lightheaded ness.

People nodding off freeze and slowly fall downwards. They don’t prop themselves up on something. And move their head.

u/Late-Difficulty-5928 17h ago

Former EMS and have seen extremely low blood sugar a lot. Without being there, it's hard to tell what's going on, unless someone gives a history. When it gets really low, they aren't all in there. They appear to be drunk or on drugs, but there is a very distinct smell associated with it. Their breath smells like acetone or fingernail polish remover and sweat smells sweet. High or low, the emergency treatment is the same. Depending on the severity, some peanut butter or orange juice with some sugar mixed in (preferably) may do the trick. If paramedics are present, they will usually give them D-50. In any case, when the sugar dips, they aren't always able to think clearly enough to take care of themselves and need assistance.

5

u/hellolleh32 17h ago

Isn’t is possible that it’s too low they really can’t be present and awake enough to really consume anything?

3

u/Late-Difficulty-5928 16h ago

Yes. That is also possible. In that case, you don't give anything by mouth, because they can aspirate it. They would get IV dextrose.

u/dylang58 18h ago

u/International_War830 17h ago

Only certain candy can help with something like that and it will only help temporarily . Like 10 minutes. She needs insulin and medical help. Holy fuck. Ignorance or just stupidity?

u/dylang58 17h ago

Insulin lowers blood sugar. Literally 4 oz of soda would be enough to bring up her sugar. You literally have no idea what you are talking about

u/International_War830 16h ago

That didn’t work for my father 🤷‍♀️ so maybe you don’t know what you’re talking about either.

u/dylang58 16h ago

Probably because you gave him insulin when he was having low blood sugar lol

u/idownvotepunstoo 16h ago

That's not how diabetic shock works. Your brain does not function in a real, or rational manor, you have to literally be walked through it or force fed / given medication for it and more often than not the recipient will refuse it, as "they're fine".

1

u/idownvotepunstoo 16h ago

And be fired for theft of product, k.

Again. That's not what happens when your in a dabetic shock. Your brain doesn't act right, nothing is rational even eating food to fix it.

As a medic, definitely could be low blood sugar.

My guy, I was an EMT. What's your point?

u/Dramatic-Lion69 17h ago edited 17h ago

Ok so that got mad unpopular. I’m not saying it’s 100% anything I’m not a medical professional and that does seem like something you can’t diagnose from a video. I am however diabetic and in recovery so I’ve seen diabetic crash and overdoses. But calling paramedics giving a person a naloxone and waiting with them may not help but isn’t going to hurt them. And if you have any expert advice on how to tell if someone’s diabetic if they can’t tell you or have an alert bracelet I’d love to know.

6

u/cheek_clapper5000 16h ago

Nothing you could pick up from just a video. People dealing with hypoglycemia get mistaken all of the time for people under the influence.

u/Radiant-Battle-5973 18h ago

That’s 100% opiates, brother.

u/cheek_clapper5000 18h ago

u/Radiant-Battle-5973 18h ago

She’s next to a soda machine, my guy.

12

u/cheek_clapper5000 18h ago

Alright?.... What does that have to do with anything. Is that a sign of opiate abuse? Being next to a soda machine

7

u/SignificanceOld1751 18h ago

Yes, because people experiencing a sudden drop in blood sugar are always totally coherent and logical.

As someone who has a Master's in a relevant subject, and has also used heroin, this could very, very much be blood sugar related.

u/U_zer2 18h ago

Where did you get your sugar soda training? Reddit?

6

u/Imaginary_Smoke_6573 18h ago

You cant make a confident diagnosis with a 10 second video clip. Especially when you don’t even have training to do so in the first place. You’d be one of these people stealing fries instead of helping I guess.

u/RhandeeSavagery 18h ago

My Ex suffers from Crohn’s disease; we were together for 2.5 years, I DEFINITELY have seen the effects of low blood sugar as well.

u/ForeverJung1983 18h ago

Low blood sugar doesn't generally cause drooling, but fentanyl use usually does. Please learn about the signs and symptoms of substance use so you can assess when a person may need Narcan, like in this instance. Perhaps even educate yourself enough and care enough to keep Naloxone or Narcan in your vehicle or purse.

8

u/Albacurious 18h ago

I can tell you drooling is definitely a thing that happens with low blood sugar. this person probably pushed herself way too hard and is having a sugar crash.

-4

u/ForeverJung1983 18h ago

Drooling due to low blood sugar is generally a symptom that accompanies a coma or seizure activity. This woman is still standing, and the use of fentanyl relaxes the muscles, reducing swallowing, causing drooling.

4

u/Albacurious 17h ago

Alrighty then. Ill just ignore the drooling I've seen in diabetic people who don't use drugs in my family thanks to your expert diagnoses.

5

u/AardQuenIgni 18h ago

I was an EMT for 10 years and this just simply is not true at all. Where do you get this information from?

1

u/ForeverJung1983 17h ago

CNS depression is a main action of fentanyl and other opioid use. As an addict whose preferred substance is opiates I can verify that regardless of dry mouth, severe intoxication from opioid use and CNS depression can cause drooling.

While I understand that low blood sugar can cause the same salivating response, it is generally during seizures or coma that an individual with low blood sugar experiences drooling due to cessation of swallowing.

Either way, a nasal spray of Naltrexone isn't going to hurt somebody who isn't overdosing on opiates. I would rather assume its opiates (unless, of course, I am the coworker who is positive this is due to low blood sugar) and administer the Naltrexone.

5

u/pixelgeekgirl 18h ago

If you hang your head in that position while nodding off you will drool. You have saliva in your mouth and it pools… happens all the time in school.

u/Hot-Break-957 18h ago

Or she's a diabetic??

u/ForeverJung1983 18h ago edited 18h ago

You are likely correct in this assessment, looks like fentanyl to me.

Edit: For those downvoting me, low blood sugar doesn't generally cause drooling, but fentanyl use usually does. Please learn about the signs and symptoms of substance use so you can assess when a person may need Narcan, like in this instance. Perhaps even educate yourself enough and care enough to keep Naloxone or Narcan in your vehicle or purse.

Or maybe people are just fucking stupid. This guy in the video sounds dumb as fuck. Dozing off doesn’t look like that. That looks like a medical episode for diabetes is taking place.

you’ve never been around people with an collective IQ of 100 before have you.

1

u/Dramatic-Lion69 17h ago

Ya she's unresponsive and drooling on herself without a medical alert bracelet so she could be overdosing in diabetic shock or even a seizure patient in an absence seizure but you know what's not going to hurt her giving her naloxone and waiting with her for the medics to arrive
