On social media, many viewers were stunned after a McDonald’s customer claimed he was kicked out of the restaurant 30 minutes after getting his food, when staff called the police.
A viral TikTok video showing the customer’s claim of unjust eviction left viewers shocked.
A recent incident at a McDonald’s in Providence, Rhode Island, has sparked controversy. A customer was reportedly kicked out of the restaurant just 30 minutes after receiving his food.
The customer, Jensen Harris, has shared a viral video detailing his confrontation with staff, which led to the involvement of police.
McDonald’s customer claimed he was kicked out of the restaurant
In a video that has garnered significant attention online, Harris details his experience at the McDonald’s branch.
According to Harris, he was told he could not stay in the restaurant for more than 30 minutes after eating.
This claim has raised questions, as no such policy is mentioned on the McDonald’s customer service page.
“I’m here in McDonald’s in Providence, Rhode Island,” Harris says in the video. “I’m told I cannot sit here for more than 30 minutes after I eat. I’ve never seen this. This is very misleading.”
In the footage, Harris was seen asking to speak with a manager, but his requests were reportedly ignored by the staff.
One member of staff responded to Harris: “What does that have to do?”
The TikToker subsequently replies: “What it has to do with why would someone come inside, already buy food, get food.
That’s not the policy of McDonald’s.
The visible signs in the restaurant seem to indicate a 30-minute rule, which Harris disputes. While, he noted that this policy is not listed on McDonald’s official website.
McDonald’s customer was confronted by police after the incident.
As the situation escalated, Harris was seen demanding answers from the employees and refusing to delete his video when asked.
The staff then called the police, leading to the arrival of four squad cars.
Harris captures the police’s presence in his video. The video has the caprion: “4 cop cars and 5 cops later they asked me to leave and to stop recording. McDonald’s policy clearly does not state anything regarding their so-called ‘30-minute policy’ nor does it state getting the police involved.”
The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media.
The video has prompted a range of reactions from viewers.
In the comments selection, many suggested that the policy might be enforced selectively.
In response, Harris reaffirmed his stance: “McDonald’s policy clearly does not state anything regarding their so-called ‘30-minute policy’ nor does it state getting the police involved.”
Additionally, this incident raises questions about restaurant policies and their enforcement.
Harris’s experience at McDonald’s highlights a potential issue with unclear or selectively enforced rules.
It also underscores the importance of clear communication and customer service in fast-food establishments.
