If these kids are the future leaders of our country, G-D help us.

Anybody that would eat at McDonalds shouldn't have to pay anyway..the food is pure garbage...Grade "Z" meat!

How rude and inconsiderate you were, you complained of a long wait for a drink when your friend went, and then you had the chutzpah to do it to others? How do you think the mothers felt that were behind you in line, and had to wait while their kids were screaming they were hungry? Think about others !

Wow, way to hit them where it hurts. At least tell me they gave the food away to a homeless shelter or something, because anyone who eats $150 of McDonalds food by themselves is retarded.

Get a life. And if you're angry at Mcdonalds, don't eat there. There's no reason to punish the underpaid workers there, who are the real victims of Mcdonalds

The kids paid with a legal currency so whats the big deal? It wasnt like they used Ruble or something... Awesome!

Its about time that someone stood up to the crap service we have in this country. The guy that came up with this idea will probably be a very good business man in a few years.

Only in Israel would it be "revenge" when you are paying the company you want to hurt....causing the same frustrations your "friend" felt while waiting for a glass of OJ. It must be that they think...if we upset more customers like our "friend"...they will do the same and get their friends to save money and give it to McDonalds like we just did!! If you really want to hurt a company...don't give them your money. Period! Stupid generation...lost already!! And to think they could and most likely will be the future PM of Israel. OMG we might as well give up now! They will think something like to about the land and give it to the PA!!!

She was the widow of the founder of McDonald's, Ray Kroc. She has passed away now, leaving most of the vast fortune to the Salvation Army which feeds, clothes, and shelters the poor in America. America is so busy sending foreign aid money and charity to foreign lands, she forgets about her own poor at times. Joan Kroc never did. When a disaster like a flood or a tornado or earthquake or fire hit America, Joan Kroc flew to the area and had $2,000. checks given anonymouslly to most of the families affected by the disaster who needed temporary lodging and lacked the money to pay for a motel. If you think of the mitzvohs of Joan Kroc while waiting in line, that will made the wait more endurable.

Their amusement came at the cost of the others waiting in line, who had nothing to do with the slowness there. Whatever happened to showing consideration to others? Next time, eat Falafel.

how exactly is this punishing the "real victims of Macdonald's, the minimum wage workers"? (and how are the minimum wage workers, who don't deserve any wage other then the minimum for they have no skills that would allow them to ask for more? pathetic egalitarians) after all the workers don't earn commission. and how is it that giving the store 150$ but causing them to loose probably thousands, anything but revenge. and why are kids not to be kids.

The manager of this particular McDonald's should have simply stepped in and refused the business. The kids are completely misguided but the restaurant has a right to turn away any business they want to. What would the kids have done if they were refused lunch? Would they try to sue McDonald's, they would have surely lost. They probably would have gone home and cried to their moms and dads that they had been mistreated. Lastly, this article is poor reporting. The journalist should have asked McDonald's their side of the story too instead of glorifying a bunch of idiots. This is the type of story that deserves to be on some immature blog somewhere in cyberland. If the piece wants to reflect true journalism it should have been more balanced.

when that was done in NYC schools as a protest when the price of a school lunch was raised by 5 cents!

McDonald's wasn't punished. The other customers were. This stunt caused innocent people who WANTED to eat there to be very inconvenienced, to say the least. To punish McDonald's never - ever eat there again.

McD is not a kasher food restaurant. What Jewish kids and fams are doing there?

It'll be funny to see how these kids react to a prank like this in a couple of years when THEY'RE the ones working behind that counter at McDonalds or a gas station. I'll even contribute the 300 shekels in 5 agorot coins it'll take to fill the gas tank ! Boy, I'll bet they just laugh and laugh . . . ! :-)

Instead of you brats wasting your time collecting change to "hurt" McDonalds because AGAIN YOU BRATS had to wait - oh horrors of horrors - for a glass of orange drink, you could have given the $$ to charity. You are all pathetic, nasty, self-centered idiots.

Any change coins you have and you dont feel like spending them please deposit them in my bank account or you can bring them to me I'll take the task of counting them without hesitation, it is money isn't it? It happened to me many times that some store wouldn't receive my coins as payment and if so.. then why they make offers priced 9,99? where is the one agora that they DON'T give me? to WHOM it goes? I use change to pay the bus, to pay for cigarettes, to pay for little things as that's the only way to actually spend those moneys, let every fast food chain be warned! they should buy coin counters, that would make next time easier to count them, if it will take less time it will be a self payed investment, this coins are LEGAL MONEY, so there's NO WAY they can reject it or I just cancel the order and don't receive it as they don't receive my legal currency, and if it's not legal then the bakns should get all that change and make metal statues with it, I do not think the kids are wrong, they are actually proving that these coins exists and that they are usable. Kol Hakabod!!!

the founders of Mc Donald's were the Mc Donald brothers. and they can NOT refuse payment in legal currency whatever form it takes, once I had to wait 40 minutes once in Mc Donald's for a small hamburguer with a coke, and it was the employee's fault as he forgot to bring it to me 4 times because he was paying attention to a hutzpanit mother who was braking his balls about how much ketchup put in her son's burguer, better eat a Shwarma B'Pitah at Iosi Agababa's, it's much more fast and rich and tasty food! Again... Kol Hakabod kids, GO ON! let THEM buy coin counters!
