Heartless McDonald's worker fired for teasing homeless man with free food
A McDonald's worker in the US who was filmed taunting a homeless man with free food has been fired.
The fast food restaurant was inundated with calls to fire the employee after video of the Detroit worker's cruel prank went viral last week.
In the video which emerged online, the man can be seen offering an older homeless man, known only as ‘Willy,’ a free hamburger.
He urges the man to come closer to the drive thru window with a promise of free food.
“Hey Willy, come here, do you want a sandwich. Come on man, I'm going to give you a sandwich man, come on man,” he can be heard saying in footage.
As Willy approaches the window the employee utterly humiliates the man by throwing water in his face and laughing.
The sickening act was filmed by a customer, who was parked beside the window.
What’s worse is the customer can also be heard laughing at the inhumane act.
People took to social media to express their outrage at the employee’s actions.
“What a pair of disgusting human beings, I hope one day they are out of luck and someone does the same to them,” one user said.
“What a disgraceful thing to do to this man. To get personal gratification out of humiliating this man, what evil in us makes us so horrible?” Another said.
