She had arrived to work her morning shift as usual and put on her uniform, having no clue what was waiting for her in the front of the restaurant.
It was busy as always but not busy enough that she didn’t notice something unusual.
The Florida community in the Ybor City neighborhood is small and bustling, so the McDonald’s staff has gotten to know the regular customers who frequent the area.
That’s why Delonda Walker knew that something was off when a new customer came in one day.
A new customer in the restaurant wasn’t strange, but there was something about this particular one that was definitely off-putting.
She immediately felt as though he looked weird and out of place.
Delonda Walker also noticed how the new customer carried himself in an intimidating, threatening sort of way.
She recalls feeling nervous from the very moment he entered the front door.
She didn’t want to judge the man right off the bat but knew that her instincts were telling her something was off.
Despite this feeling, she still had a job to do and put on a professional face.
