When Maria Resendiz asked a customer to wear a mask while working the McDonald's drive-thru, she had no way of knowing the request would result in a trip to the hospital.

The 19-year-old was working at an Oakland, California, McDonald's on June 27 when a customer pulled up without a mask. Resendiz told Business Insider that she requested the customer wear a mask, as instructed by her manager and as required by the local government.

The customer refused, saying "I don't need no Mexican b---- to tell me what to do," according to an OSHA complaint filed by Resendiz this week. According to the complaint, the man parked his car and began banging on the drive-thru window, screaming at Resendiz that he would kill her.

Resendiz said she originally tried to hold the window closed, as the lock was broken. But, when she went to close the window, the man grabbed the McDonald's employee and began slapping and hitting her. When the man finally left, Resendiz says she called the police and was taken to Highland Hospital.

She was pretty marred up in that attack.
That "customer" needs some time in lock up. A horrible waste of oxygen.

6. What the hell is wrong with people?

The poor woman! Nobody should have to put up with that kind of abuse. I blame Trump for this (not to divert blame from the asshole who actually did this). He is the one who has politicized mask wearing and turned it into something tribal instead of urging the importance of it as a public health issue. Not to mention inflaming racial tensions and condoning violence toward those who are different than you.

He has fucked this country up beyond belief and he isn't finished yet.

"Resendiz says she has faced harassment and assault working at McDonald's in the past, including customers throwing cups of feces and vomit at her and death threats from people who were unsatisfied with their orders. But, she says things have gotten more extreme during the coronavirus pandemic."

I don't even know what to say. I'm not sure how someone who just happens to have a cup of feces on hand to throw at another person is anything other than a piece of human trash. It's also hard to imagine how things could get worse than that.
