Do you stand up for fastfood employees when a customer is treating them unreasonalbly?

my night was crazy last night, and i unfortunately lost some respect for our german students from my university.

so, last night, i was taking all of my drunk friends to mcdonalds and there was a group of about 10 foreign students eating in the dinning area when we walked in. and one guy was up at the counter being a complete ASSHOLE to the young kid who was at the register. one of the guys i was with stood up for the kid and told him how rude he was being and that this is not how we treat people here in the states. the “dutchy” as we call the germans (dont ask, long story) continued to harrass the staff and my friends and it eventually ended up going outside. the Dutchy was not only talking smack about america, but continued to act like a complete jerk. so after some words were exchanged, my friend ended up punching the Dutchy (in the face, right in the cheeck, i wish you could have seen it! and a fight broke out. then a mcdonalds staff member came out and told my friends to leave because they called the cops.

i do NOT approve of violence, and i acknowledge the fact that it solves nothing. but i could not believe the way that Dutchy was treating that poor kid! he said some really terrible things AND ABOUT AMERICA TOO! im glad they all got their asses kicked. hbu?

and if you went to another country is this how you would treat the locals? ...I thought Americans were supposed to be the nasty ones…
