Watch: Vulgarity Filled Diatribe at McDonald's

No, woman tells fast-food worker, she didn't want fries with that. She wanted ice cream. And you won't believe what she said next.

A woman who launched into an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a Michigan McDonald’s apparently hasn’t heard the fast-food chain’s possible new slogan: β€œLovin’ Is Greater Than Hatin’.”

She was certainly β€œhatin’ ” in a 3-minute video captured by Eastern Michigan University student Janae Sims at the McDonald’s restaurant at 1070 Huron River Drive in Ypsilanti on Dec. 23, The Ann Arbor News/MLive reports.

At issue: 40 cents and an order that included French fries instead of ice cream. At one point, the woman told the employee she had a stick in her purse that she was prepared to use.

β€œDo you like your face?” she taunted.

Sims declined an Ann Arbor News request for an interview. A manager at the McDonald’s restaurant in question said he wasn’t present when the woman harangued the fast-food worker, but such treatment of employees is atypical.

Ypsilanti police Lt. Deric Gress told the newspaper authorities received a call about the encounter, but the call was cancelled when the woman left.
