Kinda is…
Service in hospitality in the States seems to be a god given right, or at leat that is the impression given by many expat and tourists.
Not legitimizing a Karen outburst, but a 20min wait at McDonald’s!?
If US corporate fast food manufacturers are going to colonize any country they can make a profit out of then they should take the brunt of this ‘outrage’ take responsibility ffs. Karen shaming is a convenient form of scapegoating.
McDonald’s in Australia is currently trying to lower their minimum wage by getting for the cost of employees meals to be deducted from their hourly rate - note that they don’t provide fridges for staff to bring their own food!
Yelling at Maccas is totally understandable, but yelling at the underpaid front-line is not.
