Why did McDonald’s name its iconic burger the Big Mac?
The Big Mac might be McDonald’s most famous item, but a lot of people don’t know much about it. Check out the history of the fast-food chain’s beloved burger.
An angry McDonald’s customer is getting grilled on social media after footage captured her appearing to assault an employee.
The clip, originally posted to TikTok in late January, shows the masked customer demanding to know the worker’s name before walking behind the counter, ripping the employee’s mask off her face, and shoving her, ordering that she share her name. The TikTok user who posted the video claims the customer was angry over a mistake with her meal.

"Apparently this was over a breakfast burrito they forgot to put in," wrote TikTok user Deicy C in the video’s caption, where she also dubbed the angry woman a "Karen."

The video begins with the customer standing at the counter, repeatedly demanding to know the female employee’s name. The employee responds by saying, "It’s not what you called me," at which point the customer calls the employee a derogatory name.
"OK, b---h, can I tell you something?" the angry customer says while walking behind the register. "I’m gonna come back there — I run a restaurant!" she claims.

The employee tells the customer to stay back "or I will call the cops," but the woman does not budge. Instead, the customer pulls the employee’s mask from her face and pushes her, at which point a male employee intervenes.
The angry customer continues to demand answers from the male employee before leaving a few seconds later, smugly saying that the female employee is "going to jail."
"OK, thank you. Have a good day," the male employee says.

Sgt. Phil McMullin, a spokesperson for the Orange Police Department in California, has since confirmed the incident to Newsweek, but said that police arrived after the customer had already left.
"Officers contacted the employee and conducted an area search for the customer. No further action was requested," McMullin said.
The owner of the McDonald's also provided a statement to Fox News regarding the "unfortunate incident."
"Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our people, and local law enforcement officials have been contacted about this matter," said McDonald’s owner/operator Larry Kaplan. "We are grateful to report no employees were injured during this unfortunate incident."
