I would certainly let the owner know I am boycotting Max.  I do not live there, but I would send him a letter.  I think that we can start some work on that anyway.

You're wrong Max.  Check out this other Berkeley location on their Web site.

1198 SAN PABLO AVE
BERKELEY, CA 94706-2245

But I hasten to add, the article makes clear that the location Lisa Craib worked at was at Shattuck and University, so your location was indeed the correct one, not the above one.  Sorry.

That's in Albany. You'll find it listed both ways, but 94706 is an Albany zip code

Not that it's worth posting about...

Berkeley, Albany. You say tamata, I say tamahta.

There is a difference... Berkeley has a good reptile store and Albany has a good fish store.

Oh snap, the reptile store is awesome! My daughter took me to it.

I try to find a "reason" to go there every week. Also MythBusters have filmed there, which makes it even cooler.

AKA the Natalie version of mecca? (no offense intended of course)

I already don't like McDonald's food. It's unfair what they did to those autistic people. Besides, even without the problem of job discrimination, I can still think of some very good reasons that it shouldn't be around:
Even though the food may taste great to some people, it's loaded with calories, and not only calories, empty calories. You increase your risk for obesity by eating at McDonald's and you don't get good nutrition, either.
They use a whole load of Styrofoam and plastic, which is bad for the environment.
The second should greatly appeal to you, Shrek.

And that clown. Scary!

No, no, Shrek, don't go to McDonalds, even if there wasn't an Aspie involved...... it's bad for your diet

the talking donkey begged as he, Fiona, Puss in Boots, the Gingerbread Man, and several others tried to restrain him

This is too funny. If this is in response to my comment above, I was referring the environmental reason, not the one about obesity.

I would boycott the actual restaurant, but the McDonald's franchises here hire disabled people, and give them jobs where they will be seen by customers.

I won't boycott my McDonald's, but I will write a letter to McDonald's corporate.

Hmm...good for you, not boycotting your McDonald's. I boycott all McDonald's places for the environmental and obesity reasons. But it makes me even madder to hear of a McDonald's discriminating against people just because they're disabled.
