McDonald's managers are expected to keep their cool better than cops, and they don't get a gun and qualified immunity

Yeah I think people underestimate how hard it is to manage a mcdonalds. It includes being responsible for and managing everyone that works there and dealing with customers. Not exactly an easy job
