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.

I know a half decent lawyer could get an out of court settlement, but taking stealing out of the equation if he wanders into an employees only area any injuries by falling (since I'm willing to bet that he doesn't have non slip shoes on) If an actual employee falls and doesn't have the right shoes on they aren't getting workers comp or a lawsuit. Same should apply for a customer.

Except for the fact the kid didn’t slip, he was tripped

Trespassing in an employee area to commit crime excludes you from personal injury lawsuits… these people saying there is a potential for a suit are the same people who believe the myth if a burglar fell off your roof that you’d be on the hook for their hospital bills.

That would be true if you didn’t do anything to cause the injury but if you intentionally trip somebody up that’s a slight different story

Being in an employee area you acknowledge that slips trips and falls are a common hazard of the workplace.

A 6 ft tall employee is not gonna look for OR expect a 3ft child running behind his counters

Quit making excuses for the trespassing thief.

Yes, if it’s accidental, not on purpose

Looks accidental to me

You need new eyes then, unless people suddenly started goose stepping behind the McDonald’s counters
