Once the sympathy strikes got going, McDonalds folded pretty quickly and decided to start following the hotel and restaurant agreement in 1989. Thank you for posting this.

  I think this case could be a bit different. You can easily go to another restaurant if you have a grudge against McDonald's. It's not so simple if you already own an expensive Tesla that you need serviced and repaired.

    Maybe. Maybe not. Europe has better public transportation than the US.

    Sympathy strikes is not the same thing as boycotts. "Sixteen different sector unions participated in the sympathy strikes. Dockworkers refused to [...]. Printers refused [...]. Truckers [...]. Typographers [...]. Food and beverage workers [...]" And the list goes on... How would anyone be able to repair that Tesla?

“Truckers refused to deliver food and beer to McDonalds.“ Beer?

  As a european, I didn't knew this was not a thing at McDonalds. I have always seen beer served there and I don't know why it should be exempt from serving it.

    During my long-ago employment at McDonalds, nearly all the staff was under 18, and so ineligible to be handling alcoholic beverages, even 3.2 beer. Many American states are quite fussy about this sort of thing--I've had a younger cashier at a grocery store call over an older to scan my carton of beer. Now I guess there are more of the over-18 or over-21 employed at McDonalds, but it might disrupt the flow of ordering if all orders with beer had to go through particular registers.

      I am not a regular customer but I don't think I have seen that many under 18 working at McDonalds tbh and the few that would could be asked to just prepare the burgers and stuff or handling payments.

      In Germany we're allowed to drink beer at 16 (everything at 18) and afaik if you, aged 15 to 17, are working somewhere that sells alcohol there isn't a law that's forbidding you to handle it.

        IIRC 16 is just the minimum age to be allowed to drink in public, or purchase alcohol (except spirits, that's 18). In private there's no limit. Also 16 is to buy or drink unaccompanied, if accompanied by a legal guardian it's 14 (again excepting spirits).
