Those fire in the whole pranks at fast food outlets

[brettdale]

First, i dont think they should be called pranks because its a case of bullying.

Secondly, how come its always white kids that do it?

1. What is this about?

[ellenfl]

13. it makes more sense as 'fire-in-the-hole' prank. not to mention the whole hole mis-spelling. eom

[brettdale]

4. there is a ton of videos on youtube

These white kids, drive up to the driver thru, order a drink, then throw the drink at the fast food workers face, and scream "fire in the hole"

[Ian David]

5. I think he's talking about this...

6. This is one of them

8. Young Willard Rmoney??? n/t

14. how did our kids' kids get so callous and cruel? eom

[lunasun]

18. Their parents taught them well > to look down on low income workers and that they are open for abuse

All the videos are the same archetype I agree = no one they know will be at the window is a given !

Assault is a crime
I'm surprised fast food places do not pursue of course they also look down on their low income workers and do not treat them nice so I guess why would they??
Now someone who has very little must now spend money/time at a laundromat before going to work long hours the next day for little pay and maybe the same assault.

Out of touch and biased just like their parents who will tell you it was just a joke ( at the expense of another human being is not the issue) and will defend their kid no matter how big an ass hole he is .
I have a friend who is a high school science teacher and they treat him and other teachers like crap in some of these suburban paradises too........ better not complain to the parents if you want to keep your job though experience has proven!!!

[Tsiyu]

40. That does often seem to be the excuse of sociopaths

"I was only joking."

In this case it would only be a joke if everybody laughed at the end.

[Whisp]

23. human garbage

young human garbage.
so there's a lifetime of this kind of shit from them - this is just practice

[spanone]

3. is that a sentence?

[Drale]

7. I don't know about bullying but

its definitely premeditated assault.

[bluestateguy]

9. It always seems to be some frat boyish looking male in a SUV

A few times I have seen the fast food worker successfully retaliate by hitting the assailant's car window with a drink or a glob of food.

10. Leadership training for privileged teens

[brettdale]

11. What would happen if you did this to a white collar worker

If you walked into a lawyers office and did this, or into a forbes top 500 company?

Surly you would be arrested and charged? So why is it okay for fast food workers?

[jberryhill]

12. Tie them up dealing with the police?

[ManiacJoe]

16. It is not "OK". It is just that

fast food does not have in-house security and the crime takes place outside anyway. The chances of getting caught are slim, and the kids know it. The kids are also smart enough to not go inside and try this.

[jberryhill]

20. "smart enough" - license plates, cameras

[AnOhioan]

15. Idiots...being arrested, charged and convicted of assault would be the ideal resolution

[alphafemale]

17. They should be prosecuted.

And I'm pretty sure drive-thrus have cameras to capture images of license plates.

I just don't know why these ass clowns even think this is funny.

[Initech]

24. You should watch the South Park episode "Faith Hilling"

They nail internet memes and the consequences: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s16e03-faith-hilling

[provis99]

19. it's assault with a deadly weapon.

they should be in prison.

Let them tell what they did to their cellmate Bubba, whose daughter works in fast food...

[fishwax]

21. what's the deadly weapon?

Assault, sure.

[provis99]

26. the cup of coke is a deadly weapon.

if you use ANYTHING other than your own body to assault someone, whether a pencil, a snowball, or a twinkie, it is a deadly weapon.

[Art_from_Ark]

27. I don't think either the Coke, or the twinkie, or the snowball qualifies as a "deadly weapon",

at least not in California:

"California’s Penal Code section 245(a)(1) defines "deadly weapon" as an object, instrument, or weapon that is capable of producing and likely to produce death or great bodily injury."[\b]

http://www.shouselaw.com/assault-weapon.html#what

[fishwax]

35. an object other than a body part can be a deadly weapon, but it isn't automatic

Most of the statutes that I've seen, at least specify something being used in a manner that is intended to or is likely to cause serious injury. I don't see that argument being successful in the case of a plastic cup filled with soda.

[NickB79]

29. What are the consequences of having hot sauce thrown in your eyes? nt

[fishwax]

36. Not good, I'd wager, but

that's not what the whole "fire in the hole joke" thing involves, as far as I understand it. Granted, I haven't done a lot of research, but the videos I've seen/seen discussed all involved cups of soda being thrown through drive-through windows.

Hot sauce would be a different issue. I could certainly see the argument that throwing hot sauce in someone's face would be likely to cause serious injury. (I'm not sure how likely the ADW charge would actually be, though.)

22. I hope they're not repeat customers unless they want to find things in their food and drinks.

First rule of the streets: Don't be a dick to food service workers.

[Raine]

25. DISGRACEFUL and these bullies live amongst us

and we have to deal with them as we go about our business.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

28. Screwing with underpaid employees should carry heavy penalties. nt

[tabbycat31]

30. And if the tables are turned

And the fast food employee does something to anger a customer (messes with her drink) then he can get up to 20 years

[Nye Bevan]

31. This guy was *spitting* in drinks.

He got busted when the customers noticed the phlegm.

[tabbycat31]

39. I have enough friends in the restaurant industry and know that far worse gets done

[flvegan]

32. Here's what I'd do

Were I the owner of a fast food place, and wanted to protect my investment from douchebag fucking teenage assholes that would do this sort of thing, I'd spend a tiny bit of money on a quality camera that provided a constant feed of the drive through from around 12 feet back from the window. Just tucked away out of arms length. Then another one at the window to get the face of the person at the wheel (because a crafty lawyer will say "oh, snowflake wasn't driving" at the time of the incident. When some little shitwit felt the need, no big deal. The video gets turned over to the cops, my lawyer contacts the parents of the little fuck behind the wheel with a bill for damages, fees and costs. Then the restraining order for their little bundle of joy from ever coming on my property again.

Have a nice fucking day.

[Nye Bevan]

33. Yep. And just the sign warning the drivers about the video surveillance would probably put a stop

to this stuff.

[flvegan]

34. I wouldn't even warn them with a sign.

I'd post a general sign at the front that video surveillance was being used, but I wouldn't suggest the extent of it. Catch a couple idiots, maybe they think twice about doing it ANYWHERE and not just at my place. Nobody in this day and age should have any expectation that what they do on commercial property is not being recorded.

[brettdale]

37. Can you imagine some 16 year old girl

In her first job, maybe a bit insecure, about whats expected and a bunch of young rich guys, come thru, throw a cup of coke over you and start laughing their asses off.

I HATE all bullying, and I HATE when bullying gets downplayed.

[Nye Bevan]

38. That sucks regardless of how rich or poor the perpetrators are (nt)
