about, not the Class Struggle of the Proletariat.My call is that the boy 'done wrong' with the extra nugget
(remember the nugget?) and so got canned. OK, it's a bit draconian,
but that's McD's for you. They are going to see it as theft, and they're the employer.I don't see that it's necessarily a crime by the poor against the rich: it looks to
me like employee pilferage, but I'll admit that's a lot less sexy than a symptom of
the world-wide class struggle.
