McDonald’s has been a long time staple of American culture. In Oswego, New York, the restaurant branch on Bridge Street is experiencing some difficulties. Multiple incidents have been reported to police authorities concerning college students causing disruption during the night shift of the weekends. In order to solve this predicament, the branch made the conscious decision to hire security to stand guard at the door during these hours.

Management claims that the hiring has had a great effect on the decrease in misbehavior in the establishment. Before the hiring, some employees made claim that some customers have even tried to climb over the counter and assault employees. After the appearance of security, no such incident has been reported. Conor Rielly, a Broadcasting major at SUNY Oswego, shared his thoughts on the employment of security, “I think it’s a smart idea. You get a lot of drunk and disorderly people who come through there every night and I think some get too rowdy and you need to kick ‘em out. I think it’s a good idea.”

With the positive results of this new change, it’s expected that we’ll be seeing security in this McDonald’s branch for a long time.
