Florida Man Arrested for Demanding McDonald’s Stop Playing Christmas Songs

Breitbart: A Florida man has been arrested after he threatened McDonald’s staff because they were playing Christmas music and he demanded they play Muslim music instead.

Joseph Allen, 46, walked into the Walshingham Road location in Largo on Tuesday when he heard Christmas music and allegedly started threatening workers over it, the Daily Mail reported.

Allen allegedly cursed out the staff and customers about the “Christian” music being played over the speakers in the fast food restaurant.

The restaurant called the Largo Police Department to the scene, which noted in their report that Allen demanded the staff “turn it off and play Muslim and Hindu music.”  more

  1. Allen appeared drunk and faced off with McDonald’s employees “in an aggressive manner, leaving the employees in fear of their safety,” police say.

    Police searched Allen and found a small bag of methamphetamine in his pants, and then arrested him on charges of disorderly conduct and narcotics possession charges, the Smoking Gun reported.

    Allen is in the county jail in lieu of $2,150 bond because of his history as a convicted felon.

    He was previously charged with assault, robbery, grand theft, trespass, battery, disorderly intoxication, lewd and lascivious exhibition, distributing stolen property, criminal mischief, and carrying a concealed weapon.

    Was wondering whether alcohol was involved here. It was, plus a lot more.

  2. I once pulled in to a McD’s drive through
    and ordered a double whopper with cheese. The
    kid told me they were currently out and suggested
    a big mac.

    I laughed my ass off on the way out.

  3. From having worked in a McDonald’s, I know the staff is not in control of the music played in the restaurant. There is a system that is turned on when the restaurant is open and shut down when closed and McDonald’s corporate controls what is played and how many McDonald’s commercials play between songs.

  4. I have heard “Muslim music.” I was present at the royal camel races in Saudi back in ’86. The king’s royal band tried very hard but the best they could do was sound like a high school band that had had little practice.
    Very much enjoyed petting the camels, though. The females are quite docile, like petting a dog that’s twice as big as you. But don’t go near the bull camel, … nasty.
