According to police, Christine Hofstaedter, 47, of the 2300 block of Ridge Drive, Lower Saucon Township, entered the McDonald’s at 14 Main Street shortly before 9 a.m. Monday and complained that a restroom floor was slippery.

  • Guess she is used to treating the help that way! Shame on her. The manager at McDonalds is a lovely woman. Assuming it is the same one I have met. A suggestion to Mrs. Hofstaedter, use the rest room at home before you leave the house, have your coffee at home and when all else fails, use the drive through.

  • Wow. I can see being upset, but hitting the manager? That’s just low and uncalled for. Yes, the Manager at that McD’s is very nice!
