Shocking moment a cop throws a Good Samaritan out of McDonald's because he bought a homeless man a meal to eat inside the restaurant

Thank you Darleen for sending me this quite astonishing news story for blog discussion. This one is certain to produce a lot of comment, and quite rightly so.


A McDonald's customer posted a video to social media showing him and a homeless man being told to leave a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, restaurant after he says he bought him food.

  1. I really cannot believe what I’ve read and watched today, since when did buying a meal for a homeless person become a crime??? I am disgusted with the behaviour not only by the McDonald employees, the police officer on the scene who discriminated against the person but with the general public who felt threated by a person who has fallen on hard times eating food that had been bought for him, heaven forbid that anything so terrible should befall them. I shall be boycotting McDonalds from now on at all costs. I really worries and confuses me about the way the world and people living on it are conducting themselves in this day and age.

  2. I agree with you 100%. I don’t think this is the last time we will hear about this story.

    Absolutely appalling behaviour. What harm was this person doing other than eating a meal. Half the time I've been in MacDonalds and there are youths terrorising customers with their carry on and they are never removed. I heard another story like this today where someone paid for rooms at a premier inn for homeless people and when the people arrived they were refused to stay.... again absolutely shocking behaviour from these companies.

  5. I just Can't!!. I'm so angry right now at reading that. All I'm going to say is that karma has its ways.

  6. I won't be checking into a Premier Inn ever again, that's for sure.
