That asshole is so fucking fired. I'm certainly no McDonalds corporate apologist, nor even a fan of their mediocre products, but this doesn't strike me as their style necessarilly. That said, I can't ever begin to understand the scale of the discrimination suffered by transgendered people every single day.

So McDonalds had best bend over on this one... so to speak of course.

Can you flip a burger and keep a smile? Hired. It shouldn't be any more complicated than that. Our logical mentality will soon become the norm, we are too many and growing too fast. Fuck the majority of the 20th century.

While I agree that this was a crime, and a horrible act of discrimination, suing McDonalds just makes her look like a gold digger. The manager should be sued, because he said it, not McDonalds. McDonalds never would have done something so libellous. Yet they are suing the thing that will get them the most money, instead of rectifying the act by suing the liable party. How is that helping anything, except making her rich?

Not too sure she would have wanted to work there anyway. Might have been a good thing...

very sexy.

while i'm not a lawyer (nor do i play one on t.v.), i'm pretty sure that since the person was a representative of McD's, and was responding as such, that makes McD's, as a whole, the responsible party.

Discrimination is out there.

However McDonalds shouldn't allow for pockets of discrimination in their ranks. And if it appears, they should be culpable. Makes total sense to me.

Of all the countless cases of discrimination that go uncontested, you are seriously suggesting she should exercise legal restraint? With her clear evidence in her favour?

Wadever dood.

You all saw it.. Jigga is now a woman!

This makes me extremely angry. I'm a manager at McDonalds in England (it's a good job for a uni student), and this sort of thing is taken very seriously within the company. My store manager is gay, so from my perspective I have never seen the kind of discrimination in my job. Hope this dick head gets taken down, and fast.

I just think that the manager is getting off easy by them going after the corporation. I just thought that they should go after him personally to make sure an example was made of him. If he just loses his job, he'll probably get another and go on doing what he does, but if he is sued, and harassed then maybe he'll keep his sick opinions to himself in the future and other people will think before doing something similar.

Ka-ching! Dunno about US laws but else where ...such a clear discrimination employment greivance... that is pretty much gauranteed 5-6 digit payout.

Meh going after McDonalds is lame, they would have zero tolerance for this managers behaviour, you can't tell if everyone one of your employees is an angel until they're guilty, that would be just as bad as what this manager did to this women.

It's unfortunate but I don't see this as McDonalds fault, it's very clearly an isolated incident and there is something wrong with the world if in fact this does result in 5-6 digit payout, we need to lose this mentality if we are to approve things like this.

From my own personal experience, McDonalds is one of the best equal opportunity employers that I've seen, from disabled, mentally disabled, young, old, any shape, size and colour. Seen it all, I live in Australia though.

There are all sorts of reasons why you sue the corporation not the individual. An example would be if you slipped on a wet floor that had been badly cleaned in McDonalds. So, by your logic you sue the cleaner. But it turns out they aren't allotted enough time to do a good job, which makes it the manager's fault for not getting the system sorted. So now you have to bring a new case against the manager. But it turns out he's following directives from head office. Now you have to find the person responsible at head office and sue them. See where this is going?

The problem is McDonald's responsibility and it's right that they should be the one's to be sued. It encourages big corporations to take responsibility for their staff and policies. If you don't punish the big corp then they have very little incentive to put in place anti discrimination practices and training. They'll just let people get on with it and sack the ones that get sued. No real hardship for them.

Not gold digging, just common sense and the way the world works.

Anybody else see the irony in a black man discriminating against somebody for something they have no control over?

If the discrimination case is won, can McDonalds, in turn, sue the employee as miss-representing the company at large? It doesn't sound like the employee was following any company policy - in fact, I'm sure he was going against policy, so does that make him liable?

McDonalds don't serve faggots either.









...they're not on the menu.

God doesn't like gays and transgenders.. that is why 'he' created them to begin with. Along with absolutely everything else in the universe. Eh? Huh? Perfect logic I see.

That manager is so.. so.. fired and they are so sued for discrimination.

Sounds like he was trying to hire an underage prostitute instead

Except the people that work for McDonald's represent them, and Mickey D's is legally responsible for their actions as an employee.

I very much doubt MD's would be able to sue the employee, they would just be dismissed (or if a franchise, might have their franchise revoked).
