I would have fired her for being a Vikings fan, plus letting some dude use the bathroom late at night.
But despite her poor choice of football teams, an assistant manager at McDonald's was only fired for letting Minnesota Vikings "star," running back Adrian Peterson, use the restroom after hours.
Here's the problem. It was 3 a.m. and only the drive-thru was open, the rest of the "restaurant" was closed. So by letting AP go pee-pee she broke the rules. Its clear cut to me.
It was early-early morning, and the employee noticed a man standing outside the drive-thru window, asking to come inside. When she realized it Adrian Peterson, she opened the doors to let AP tinkle.
A week later, McDonald's dropped the hammer and fired her. In an interview the ex-employee pleaded her case: "He's a public figure... I know him better than some of the maintenance people that come in and out," she said, "I never thought in a million years that that decision was going to cost me my career."
Sorry, you screwed up. I understand AP is a local hero, but she blew it. If store policy is to lock the doors at night, she broke the rules, and as an assistant manager she should know better.
What if some gun-wielding maniac rushed in as she opened the door, then McDonald's would be facing a lawsuit, not just some bad PR for firing this mother of three.
That's why I belong to the Raider Nation. My boys don't need a toilet at 3 a.m. They just pass out in the parking lot of the bar, and let nature take its course.
