Or, and hear me out here, we can view this with a little sympathy: there's $60k in rewards for anyone who turned this guy in, and the person who did it makes peanuts at McDonalds.
Now, I don't know if I would do it, but I can completely and utterly sympathize why someone who makes poverty wages would turn class traitor for what almost certainly life-changing money.
Well then this person is a moron. They won’t see a dime. Maybe a pat on the head and a gift card from the dollar store.

With the review bombing and public hatred of that McDonald's location? Fired is more like it.
I don't think that McDonald's gives single fuck about review bombing
The corporation? Definitely not. But review bombing and boycotting will hurt the profits of that franchised location, and its owner certainly will.
Do people really look at or read reviews of McDonald's?
When you're an out of towner looking for the nearest place to go and get coffee or use a public bathroom, reviews matter.
Probably very few if any. Admittedly the outlier, I read Chipotle reviews because I've had too many of them give a time for pickup then proceed to dilly-dally for 20-30 mins past the time they gave me. Not cool. I'm happy to wait, but don't tell me it's going to be done.
You research reviews of McDonald where you are going to get burger? Really?
If I'm stopping by somewhere out of town, yes. Food quality varies by location, and I'm not going to waste my money on an undercooked meal at McDonald's when the competitor down the street is better.
You do not check the reviews before you go to McDonalds. Just quit.
And you do not speak for anybody other than yourself.
You're insane.
I'm not directing this at you personally when I say this, but what the fuck is so hard for most people to believe about the idea? Is it a foreign concept to treat franchized fast food places run by different franchisees as not equal? I'm not the only one who uses reviews to decide if I should skip a crappy location.

For me, it is a fact that such establishments are first and foremost matter of convenience, you go there because it is close to where you are at that moment and you expect to get fast food of dubious nutritional quality that is about the same (non)quality as in every other similar place. For fine dining worth prior research you go elsewhere than the McDonald's.
You people Buy burgers in Macdonald's?
I meant more like, that's the best accolade you may get as someone working for McDonald's. But yes, McDonald's absolutely has a reason to support the status quo in terms of corporate rule.
They'll let him order anything he wants off the dollar menu!
Which is really just a pack of fries, minus the fries at this point, becaues what store has a dollar menu anymore?
I don't. Might as well just be a cop if you think like that, plenty of room for bootlicking morons in that profession.
Here here. I'm poor as shit, got no insurance whatsoever, 60k would be somewhat life changing for me. I would never ever squeal on a comrade like that, even for millions.
Find out finds everyone
The downvotes on this really make me question my faith in humanity.
Neat how that works. Keep the populace poor and they become a wall to wall surveillance system for you. And people worry about technology…
Off-topic question: are rewards money taxable?
There's no reason for them not to be treated like any other income.
If I remember correctly, they can be anonymous. If that's the case, they wouldn't really be easily taxable. Still, we are talking about the government here, and if they tax lottery winnings, I would bet they tax rewards.
Ah, good ol' "anyone who makes enough money to pay rent is part of the capitalist class, not the working class"
He was a white collar working class guy. His work history is full of positions at various tech companies working as an engineer. It doesn't appear that he was handed any sort of dynasty.
He was upper class, and he had better opportunities than your average American, but he was still a worker.
I dunno. I've never met the narc, and I already don't feel like he's on my side.
