(Newser) – It doesn't pay to be a hero, sometimes. A McDonald's employee who stepped in to prevent a man from beating up a woman in the restaurant got shot multiple times and ended up with $300,000 in medical bills. Now McDonald's says it's won't pay up because his injuries "did not arise out of or within the course and scope of his employment," the Arkansas Times reports.
Nigel Haskett, 22, has filed a workers' comp complaint. His lawyer says McDonald's is apparently sticking by company policy that it lays out for workers: Don't be hero, call 911. But even the judge handling the trial of Haskett's assailant singled him out in court. "Here is this young man working for minimum wage, coming to the aid of a woman," he said, before donating $100 to a fund set up on Haskett's behalf.

It's typical of big business - Bonus for the top and CHIT for the worker.
Remember, the customer comes 1st - unless it costs the company.

Yes its all back to the bottom line, the franchise owner and MC corporation should step up and I would do it secretly if they don't want to set precedent! Oh well such is this crazy life we are blessed with!
