McDonald's Hires 'McBouncer' to Manage Teen Disruptions

McDonald's Hires 'McBouncer' to Manage Teen Disruptions

A McDonald's in New York has a new rule to stop teenagers from causing trouble.

Teens can't eat inside between 2 pm and 4 pm unless they have an adult with them.

A staff member named Claudia, who is called the 'McBouncer,' checks who comes in.

This is because there have been many fights and problems with groups of teens.

The restaurant is near three schools, so lots of students come after classes.

Some teens think the rule is unfair, especially when it's cold, but older customers feel safer now.

The police have been called 15 times this year to this McDonald's because of these problems.
