Yes As said

She's being melodramatic.

He hadn't been briefed on his job correctly or conversely made up his own rules.

I don't understand why a fast food outlet needs a security guard.

(on second thoughts, scrub that....)
:-D

[tamborine]

eyes are sexless and loose coverings hide all. Everybody is in jeopardy around that person.

[anotheoldgit]

Makes one wonder why the BBC thought it necessary to report that the security guard was black.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm sure Tambo has a theory on that.

[Islay]

Perhaps they were taking a page from AB where certain posters always feel the need to tell us what colour and religion people are!

[Mamyalynne]

Seems to be yet another Twitter emanation.

[emmie]

twitface has a lot to answer for if that's the case....

[hereIam]

She just likes to make a fuss ...

[TWR]

Mountain out of a molehill in my opinion.

The Holloway Road is my local branch of McDonalds, but I've not eaten there for years. I can confirm that girls wearing hijabs are a common sight there, so I cannot fathom why the security guard would have said this.

Possibly, there's more to the story.

Possibly, he's a moron.

We may never know, because this story is likely to fizzle out.

...which is really annoying.

I think you are confusing the hijab with the niqab, Tambo.

Talbot, I think the student in question might have done that too.
