Disturbing Prime Time news show story- McDonald's strip search

Did anyone watch this? Restaurant Shift Turns Into Nightmare - ABC News

Oh i was so disturbed…there is this whole slew of events where a man calls a fast food chain, posing as a police officer and instructs managers to do strip searches AND more of young teenage girls. There have been many of these events all done by the same guy…

The one story they showed was in Kentucky where the security video showed the whole thing…

It is SO disturbing that a normal person…could just fall into and believe some random phone call and follow the perverse instructions without thinking…

The guy did a “cavity search” of the girl, had her jump around naked…just crazy stuff…for 2.5 hours!! it only stopped when the caller asked for another manager to come in and he got on the phone and was asked to do something and that guy refused..

What to me is even more disturbing is the managers the female and male who were involved are blamming mcdonalds saying they were not warned to watch out for this…COME ON!!! you don’t need someone to tell u that it is stupid to belived a random caller!

This isn’t a showbiz item, it’s a society item…it’s more about how people can blindly follow someone in authority and in this case someone who “professes” to be an authority and do illegal/harmful things…

Common sense is not so common after all, tsk tsk. The so called managers should be punished, its not McD's responsibility to teach them common-sense.

you know, 9-11 caused some numbness and dumbness :smiley:

Re: Disturbing Prime Time news show story- McDonald’s strip search

I thought the same…first thought perhaps he had access to the serveilance video but not so…rather he got his kicks from having the power to do so…

I also don't understand why the 18 year old agreed to take her clothes off and do all that stuff. I could see how a 10/11/12 year old CHILD could be intimidated, but an 18 year old??! Especially one the grew up in the US and should be aware of her basic rights?

I watched the episode in PrimeTime and the 18 year old girl was interviewed about the whole incident....she doesn't come across as being dumb or anything....I wish she was asked why she didn't stop the incident during the whole 3 hours....all she had to do is refuse and tell them to call the cops.

Heck no matter what, if someone like my manager or anyone other than a female police office in a police station tried to do any kind of search on me and accused me of a crime, especially at my place of employment, I would outright refuse to take anything off and tell the to go ahead and call the cops.

If at the age of 18 you don't have the common sense or the guts to say "no" to someone in a situation like this, and just tell them "Go ahead and call the cops, I didn't steal anything and I will NOT take my clothes of in front of you" then I don't have that much sympathy for you.
