In reality, I found it rather sickening.

Altoona McDonald’s slammed with bad reviews after arrest of Luigi Mangione

An Altoona McDonald’s is getting backlash online after an employee called 911, leading to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione was taken into custody at the McDonald’s on Plank Road in Altoona Monday morning, Dec. 9, when a customer noticed a man in the back of the store with a mask, laptop and backpack. The customer then went to an employee who in turn called 911.

A recurring theme for the reviews is “rats,” which likely refers to the employee “ratting out” Mangione by calling 911. Others are also calling it “noisy” because “employees talk too much,” again, likely referring to the employee talking to dispatch/police.

“Mcdiarrrhea of the mouth here. Would not recommend. Unsafe food served by unsafe ppl. Curious what insurance plans employees get working here,” one user from Illinois wrote on Yelp.

“This McDonald’s location is dealing with a serious rat problem. They have rats working the register,” said another from New York on Yelp.

Reviewers slam Pa. McDonald’s after worker tip leads to arrest in CEO killing

“This fast food restaurant houses a traitor among its employees,” the first review posted Monday said. “The working class has betrayed humanity.”

“Very large rat behind the counter,” another reviewer said. “Not very nutritional food. I’ve heard the employees get free food for working a shift--hope they have health insurance to cover the future heart attacks. .! oh wait.”

“The fries were sad and cold, like that snitches heart,” another review said. “Pretty depressing atmosphere too. Feels likes someone might rat out on you.”

“Never eating at this McDonald’s again. Imagine going to grab a Big Mac and witnessing Officer Snitchy McSnitch (Employee of the Month) calling the feds on a HERO. Dude was just trying to enjoy his McNuggets after literally uniting Americans, and this cashier speedran dialing 911 faster than he’s ever assembled a McFlurry.”
