McDonald's McScrews Hero Out of Money
Eyebrows are raised as high as golden arches at the colossal cold-heartedness that McDonald's has shown in regards to the treatment of its employee, Nigel Haskett. Last summer Haskett was working at a McDonald's in Little Rock, Arkansas when he jumped from his post to take down a man who was abusing a woman in the fast-food joint. As the two men tussled, Haskett was shot multiple times. His recovery has required several operations amounting to $300,000 in medical bills. A hero? Not according to Mickey D's. "Come to McDonald's, We'll Always Turn A Blind Eye!" Chances are McDonald's will be shamed by the press into playing nice with Haskett. That would be wonderful for him, I'm sure. But it's incidents like this that should be eye-opening to all Americans. Lately we've been asking people to do their part and pitch in, that we need to look out for each other no matter the personal cost. A 21-year-old kid heeded that call and nearly died in the process. Corporations, apparently, haven't gotten the message yet. It is not length of life, but depth of life.

What do you think?
Do you involve yourself in a situation like this?
Would you stand aside at your place of employment while a man hits a woman just because they say don't get involved?
They say he just wants medical bills paid, he is not asking for a large settlement.
Is he a true Hero? I say he was raised with Good Morals....

TM, I agree with you. Would like to know the rest of the story to date.

Foodie please feel free to share.. It would be great to know if this fine man was taken care of for all his efforts to help....

As a domestic abuse survivor, I call that man a hero, maybe if someone would have came to my rescue when I was in that situation, I would have gotten out of it long before I did. McDonalds is supposed to be a family place, a place for kids, now would you want your kids witnessing domestic violence? I think not, pay the bills, call him a hero, he is deserves that!
That is terrible. I think it was teb that emailed Mickey D's corp ofc to see if they would help the fire vic here in town that has worked for them for a couple years. The above story should give us a clue as what they will do to help this girl who has lost everything.
It will be a big fat zero!
I think some of the time it is the local owners that might help, at least I am hopeful for that poor girl.
Talking to Kristi at AFD yesterday I think they might get involved.
YEAH!!!!!!
Here is the response I got from McDonalds in reference to the fire victim and her daughter. Sounds like help could come at some point after the investigaton is completed.
Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's to let us know your thoughts on this unfortunate incident.
Because this restaurant is an independently owned McDonald's and a claim is still pending, it is not appropriate for us to comment. The owner of this restaurant hopes this claim will come to a quick resolution and the right thing will be done.
Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's.

What kind of claim would there be concerning McDonalds? I'm not understanding their reply.
