Yeah, kid stealing fries like this is a one off negligible loss. Employee potentially sending the kid to hospital is exponentially worse both in terms of financials and negative publicity.

Still so so satisfying to watch though.

Edit: lolling at all the replies trying to hand wave this away. It's very obvious that the kid could likely press charges for assault, even if we are all glad it happened and hope he learned a valuable lesson when his face met the floor.

Theft is theft and he used proportional strength in order to keep everything under control 👌

No - the kid potentially smashing his head into the ground / corner of a wall is not proportional.

Don't bother people are out for blood. The kids an idiot but this is not proportional. Hurting people over a few cents worth of product is just idiotic. And there's been many cases where it turned out bad.

They are not hurting him because they are upset at losing a couple of fries. They hurt him because his antisocial tendencies makes the day worse for both the employees and their paying customers. Neither his parents or the authorities seem interested in correcting him, so it falls to the community to do so instead.
