Randy Parker Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Heather Levia is 23-years-old, has twins, works two jobs, and is in nursing school. She works incredibly hard, and therefore has an appreciation for the hard work first responders do. When some firefighters in Olean, New York, came in to order to food after fighting a house fire in freezing temperatures, Levia paid the $83 bill herself. When another round of food was ordered by a different fire department, she asked if the McDonald’s would cover the cost... After already paying $83 for the first order of food, Heather then texted her boss to see if the restaurant would pay the bill, since they regularly gave free meals to police officers. Her boss said no. After checking with corporate, Heather was once again told no. Not wanting the fire fighters to pay, she and her coworkers covered the cost. When the firefighters heard that Heather paid the bill, they called her boss and complained because they thought the restaurant had, “made Levia feel obligated to pay for their meals.” The Olean Times Herald reports when Heather showed up for her next shift, she was fired after 8 years of working for the company. She was told it was because she swore at a superior, but she denies that, telling WIVB, “I did say this is ‘freaking’ ridiculous. But it was not implied [sic] to anybody.” I think the boss is a bit of a turd for firing her
Jumper_Dad Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 This won't last long, either get's her job back with HUGE apology and manger that fired her possibly released or more likely someone else will hire her in a heart beat.
OlDog75 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yes, Boss = :poop: Correct. And with this report out, that Mickie D will loose customers. I dare say a lot of first responder families in Olean will now be going to other restaurants.
theguru Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Another example of jealous firefighters ruining it for cops...
75center Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Not good for Micky D's. They need to make things right but I doubt they do.
lawildcat Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Another example of jealous firefighters ruining it for cops... Give me a hot, sweaty fireman carrying a puppy on a calendar any day over a cop eating a doughnut... :wave: Just kidding! (but not really)
00Rocket28 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Give me a hot, sweaty fireman carrying a puppy on a calendar any day over a cop eating a doughnut... :wave: Just kidding! (but not really) It's easier for firemen to be all in shape. They get paid to sleep and watch TV. Way more free time being the real heroes :lol2:
gold sunrise Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Not good for Micky D's. They need to make things right but I doubt they do. Hope we find out what will come of this.
MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 ........... Am I the only person on BGP who has been in that McDonald's? I feel badly for her and wish there had been some benevolent St. Bonaventure faculty member in there at the time with some loot who could have picked up the tab. Like others have said, she'll have her job back...or one much better.
newarkcatholicfan Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 What is this McDonald's you speak of?

MentschTrachtGottLacht Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like it! Olean, NY...the town that time forgot.
Watusi Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 ........... Am I the only person on BGP who has been in that McDonald's? We need a thread about all the things that MTGL is the only BGPer to do. I'm sure it would be shocking.
