No Happy Meals for these little terrors.
Hordes of wild teens torment an Empire Blvd. McDonald’s on a daily basis, workers at the fast-food restaurant said.
“It’s out of control,” said employee Tempest Whiteman hours before rambunctious Middle School 352 students flooded the McWarZone Wednesday, oblivious to an afternoon lunch rush.
The trouble began about 2:30 p.m. as students arrived at the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens burger joint in twos and threes until a few dozen students took over a back room.
“Why you f—-n’ runnin,’ n—a?” shouted a girl in a purple shirt, crashing into an employee before tumbling into a window and punching a kid in the back who had just filled his hands with pink packets of Sweet’N Low.
Friends perched on top of tables, threatening each other with fistfights, which never actually happened Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a softball-sized wad of paper and foil whizzes from one end of the room to the other as customers hunker down or head out and another group of boys cut lines of Sweet’N Low with their MetroCards, pretending its cocaine.
The tiny boy sweeps a pile into his hand and tiptoes around the crowd. He waits until he’s 2 feet behind a girl in a black jacket, and then blasts her in the back of the head with a cloud of fake sugar. More yelling.
All of this is pretty mild compared to the more frightening episodes, which happen daily, employees and customers said.
One of the students brought a knife two months ago and slashed the seat covers on a dozen or so stools. Customers also reported a recent beating in the children’s playpen.
“The girl was getting jumped,” said Telequa Thompson, 17, who isn’t part of the group. “She came out crying.”
Workers avoid confrontations if possible and keep the number for the 71st Precinct handy, they said.
“When you say stop cussing, they curse you and say, ‘I’m going to throw something at your face,’ ” Whiteman said.
A few incidents have occurred in the area, school officials concede, but the students are typically disciplined.
The problem has the attention of City Councilman Mathieu Eugene (D-Flatbush), who chairs the council’s Youth Service Committee and called the behavior “senseless.”
“We have too many young people throughout the city who engage in the wrong activities as a result of not having access to resources and positive influences designed to instill respect for themselves and others,” Eugene said.
