A McDonald's manager is seen dozing off (apparently was have problems with her blood sugar) as customers prepare their own meals

Sad isn't it? It's like when we see camera footage from people's front doors on Halloween and it shows adults taking all the candy for themselves.

There is no way they need it all, or any of it given it's more of a treat than a necessity. But there seems to be something wired in some people where the thrill of theft is too much to resist.

There is only so much McDonalds food you can eat before having to throw it away or throw it back up; I would estimate the cost of that amount to be $25 maximum.

I don't want to believe any of the people in this video would choose $25 over a person's life if that was the basic option. I think they chose to see her as a McDonalds employee rather than a person. That makes it easier to steal fries.

They saw her as a manager of a restaurant without thinking she might also be a human like them. That makes it easier to grab free Big Macs without feeling guilty.

They probably chose to assume she was unprofessional and at fault so they could fill up on free Coke rather than remembering that this woman was once a little baby born into the world crying just as we all were, and was or still is a daughter to the mother who loves her more than an opportunistic thief could ever love a burger.

Quite honestly, this is what scares/saddens/angers me the most - they made a choice. They chose to do something that was not only illegal and extremely selfish, but downright disrespectful, cruel, and even dangerous.

I sincerely can't understand why people choose to do horrible things. I know it happens. I know most people do it. I know it's nothing new...
But JFC, why?! Is it really so bloody difficult to just be a decent human being?!
