Normally, Larson first gives the cashier her debit card to pay for the order and then grabs the food and drink with both feet. But at McDonald&#8217;s she said they took her money at one window but wouldn&#8217;t give her the food at the next window. Larson says she felt degraded. &#8220;I reached my foot out the window to grab the food,&#8221; says Larson. &#8220;She set the food down, raised her hands up really high in the air and slammed them down on the counter. This was like violently.&#8221; &#8220;&#8216;I am not doing this,&#8217; she screamed that at me, &#8216;Absolutely not doin&#8217; this.'&#8221; The restaurant offered her a $10 gift certificate. She then contacted a lawyer and two months later experienced the same thing at a different Rockford McDonald&#8217;s. Now she&#8217;s suing the company for $4 million and wants it to improve employee training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">News selected by Covalence <span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| Country: <\/span>USA<span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"><\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\"> | Company: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=2\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">McDonald&#8217;s<\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalquote.com\/newTemplate\/index.php\/ethicalquote\/?value=5\"><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> <\/span><span class=\"LinkBlueTransMedium\">| <\/span>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cbs2chicago.com\/watercooler\/watercooler_story_184031037.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"LinkBluePgtMedium\">cbs2chicago.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(CBS) ROCKFORD, Ill.
