Bizarre footage has emerged of two McDonald’s employees brawling behind behind the counter.
The two women reportedly began brawling following a McArgument over who was going to cook the apple pies erupted into McFisticuffs, reports The Mirror.
The video was filmed by Noah Smith who was patiently waiting in line for his McChicken sandwich when the fight kicked off at the McDonald’s in Chester County, South Carolina.
He said:
I’m thinking oh man something’s about to really happen right now.
The footage shows the women pulling each other by the hair, punching and shouting at each other, while another woman desperately tries to break them up.
Apparently police had to be called in to deal with the incident and although no one was seriously injured an investigation is ongoing.
According to the official police report it all started when a 30-year-old employee asked a 25-year-old employee to start baking Apple Pies – and she refused.
The older woman asked the younger employee to leave the restaurant saying she would cover the rest of her shift, but the 25-year-old allegedly refused to leave – at which point the tensions boiled over.
McDonald’s Director of Operations Chris Sparks said in a statement:
We take the care and safety of our employees very seriously and have zero tolerance for violence.
At this time, we are cooperating fully with the police during their investigation into this matter.
Fortunately it didn’t come to this:
