My wedding venue required that we had a security guard present when alcohol was being served, which made me a little uncomfortable. But JBM was easy to work with, communicative, and blended in at the wedding. Randy handled our questions and billing, and Austin was our guard. All in all, an easy and positive experience! read more

Last night (10/25/17) at around 7:30 pm I went into the McDonald's on Snelling and University which is in the same location as the Midway shopping center. I had just gotten out of the ER due to vomiting for over 48 hours. If you know anything about that then you know they ended up giving me fluids which can run straight through you. My husband, who lived in the area some time ago, wanted to go in one of the shops in Midway that did not have a bathroom. Since I really had to go I asked him to drop me off at that McDonald's so I could use the restroom and wait there since it had security present. I'm from a very small town and I'm sure I let the news scare me a little but I was very scared of being shot. Well he pulls in and I get out and as I walk in I see a heavy set bald man that is looking back at my car. He turns to a customer in line and says, "yes she did" and snickers. The customer in line then says, "yea it's easy money". The "officer" then says, "yea" and laughs. I'm hearing their comments my entire walk to the restroom and in disbelief I'm shaking my head thinking easy money? After I come out of the restroom I ask the "officer" if he just called me a prostitute. He replies loudly' "what are you talking about?". I ask him again if he called me a prostitute by saying I was easy money. His coworker said something to remind him of what I was talking about and he says, "oh!" and starts laughing in my face. I walked over to where my husband was and he asked what was wrong and I told him what had just happened. He pulled into McDonald's where we took pictures of the car and the 2 "officers" and he asked if he should say something.  I told him no because the guy had on a badge and I already felt uncomfortable just confronting him (I have SEVERE ptsd and anxiety). My husband then decides to call the manager at McDonald's to let him know what happened. The manager said that was the 2nd complaint he had received on the "officer" and that he was going to call the company. Well I tried calling the company as well only to find that they close at 5 or 5:30. So I call the Edina office today and ask for a manager or supervisor only to get asked why. I told him discrimination!  He then proceeded to ask me why I said that and I explained to him everything I have said here. He kept telling me this was the first time those 2 men worked at that location and he had not received any complaints personally. I felt he doubted every word I spoke and I felt validated in that when he said he would have to look into it and talk with the manager at McDonald's to see what really happened. I felt he was defending the man who was supposed to protect me but ended up bullying me in a sense. He took my name and number and said he would check into it and that he or another gentleman would get back to me. I obviously felt he didn't listen or care so I called what is said to be corporate at 1-800-765-3755 and spoke to a guy who just seemed to not care what I was saying he just wanted to know what branch I wanted. Well he told me that he would contact the head of MN and let him know or something along those lines. Well I spoke with a 3rd gentleman who called me and I told him the same story. I will say of the 3 he seemed the most validating in their "company" way of doing things. He apologized on behalf of the company and the employee, he agreed even if someone was a prostitute they should not be called out because that is not their job. However I got a little salt poured into the wound when he said he bad never had a complaint on this "officer" and he has been with the company for many years. He also said maybe it was just a misunderstanding but still he shouldn't put someone in a situation where they even thought they were being called a prostitute. I mean he said he will call me tomorrow after he speaks with the "officer" but is it really good enough?  I know I looked awful but I had just come from the ER. All I needed to do was use a restroom....instead I got insulted and bullied by someone who is being paid to protect. Would you want this to happen to you or your friends or family? I already have self image issues due to a medical diagnosis that made me gain weight. Isn't it bad enough I think that people judge me for my weight now just because I don't feel good and look about like I feel and need to use a restroom while my husband runs in a nearby store that I then take on the image of being a prostitute according to this "officer". I mean wow!! I have never in my life......I do not think this was OK in any matter of speaking. The way that comment made me feel caused me to walk across the parking lot I was going to McDonald's to avoid. I didn't feel protected and even more let down with how I felt as if no one believed what I said. This is a disappointment!!!! read more
