Adrian Peterson really had to go, and at three in the morning he had no choice but to stand outside a McDonalds drive-thru and use his puppy-dog eyes to garner sympathy from an employee.
Of course, when a woman recognized Peterson as a NFL star, well, her panties dropped. And in a completely unrelated matter, she let him in so he could do his business. Unfortunately, Ronald McDonald and the head honchos at the Golden Arches came down mercilessly on the willing young woman and fired her.
“He’s a public figure… I know him better than some of the maintenance people that come in and out,” she explained. “I never thought in a million years that that decision was going to cost me my career.”
But that’s exactly what happened later that week, when the mother of three was fired from her gig at the Golden Arches.
She attempted to reach out to Peterson through his Facebook page in the hope that he could say something on her behalf, but to no avail.
A.P. you ahole–your pea-sized bladder got this chick canned and you couldn’t even make a call for her? Damn man. I understand you didn’t want to admit you had the munchies at 3 a.m. but that’s harsh brother.
Luckily, McDonalds figured out that nobody willingly wanted to replace her on the night shift and rehired her a week later. Not easy to replace cheap, midnight labor, is it McDonalds? Yea, I thought so.
