A Charlotte, North Carolina McDonald's employee has been fired after video of her verbal attack on a customer went viral. Wendy Rios recorded the altercation and posted the video to Facebook on September 9.
Rios began recording as she sat outside the drive-thru window. The video shows the McDonald's employee shutting the window in Rios' face and giving a rude hand gesture. Rios sits outside the window, trying to get the employee's attention. When the employee returns, she opens the window and begins her tirade. The employee says "Donald Trump" repeatedly to Rios before asking, "Can you spell deportation?"
