The video shows a Florida man, Daniel Taylor reaching for the female employee behind the counter, grabbing her before starting to attack her. The employee, Yasmine James, fought back as the other employees tried to separate them.
Taylor became upset when there weren't any plastic straws out at the condiment station, witness Brenda Biandudi told CNN.
The video sparked responses on Twitter with some demanding that McDonald's act on the issue.

We need to hear how you have treated Yasmin James. Please let us know that you have assisted her w the assault that she endured while working for you. That you have respected her and compensated her for the trauma.
How will you handle this @McDonalds? Will you fire the manager who did nothing and continued to engage racist customer Daniel Taylor? Have you reached out to the victim, Yasmine James? Your response will determine if I ever patronize your stores again. #JusticeForYasmineJames pic.twitter.com/bOPYFUeozq
