Okay, wow. The abject gullibility and glaring stupidity displayed by almost all of the parties involved in this story that allowed it to go on as far as it did is simply astounding.
Quote from the end of the story:
In a statement, McDonald's said, "We take this matter very seriously and through our training try very hard to warn employees about such schemes."
McDonald's training manual does include a section which cautions employees that "no legitimate law enforcement agency would ever ask you to conduct such a search."
But none of the employees "Primetime" spoke with at the Mount Washington, Ky., McDonald's say they ever recall seeing the warning.
Um, it's called "common sense", people.
However, what's more astounding is the fact that it wasn't an isolated incident and is something that has apparently been happening across the country since at least 1994.
