A McDonald's in Brooklyn has instituted a policy requiring customers under 20 to present ID or be accompanied by an adult due to an uptick in violence and crime, including assaults on staff. The fast-food restaurant, notorious for its history of violence, has seen frequent disturbances from teenagers who vandalize the premises and engage in criminal activities. The manager noted the chaotic environment and the store's connections to broader crime trends in the neighborhood, prompting this unprecedented policy change to enhance safety for staff and customers.
"It was a crazy scene," recalled Hussain, 19. Every day after school for the year she's worked there, somewhere between 15 to 20 teenagers come in and "trash the store" - throwing ice at customers, snatching bags of foods from Uber drivers and smoking weed inside the restaurant, Hussain told The Post.
"If you're from that area, you know that McDonald's is horrible," said Sania Bolasingh, who grew up in Flatbush. "People fight in there - it's not just kids being kids. People get stabbed, a delivery worker got jumped, he passed out."
