DDG: Teen McDonald’s Worker Hops Drive-Thru Window To Save Choking Customer

A teenage worker at a Minneapolis McDonald’s is being hailed a hero for jumping through the drive-thru window to save a customer who was choking. For 15-year-old Sydney Raley her shift at McDonald’s on Saturday started out pretty usual. "The day had been mostly normal -- making coffee, making drinks,” she says. “Going into the lunch rush, it was all normal." She was working the window at the drive-thru when a woman and her daughter pulled up. She hands the woman part of her order and then returns to the window to tell the customer the rest would be right out. That’s when Sydney noticed something was wrong.

The woman behind the wheel in the drive-thru was choking on something. "She was coughing like crazy, and I noticed she was gagging," Sydney recalls. "Her daughter was in the passenger seat and she looked so freaked out. I immediately knew 'Oh, no, she's choking.’" Sydney tells her manager and the woman’s daughter to call 911 and then jumps through the window to assist the choking woman. Sydney took a babysitting class when she was 11, so she knew how to perform the Heimlich maneuver. "All that training immediately kicked in," she says. She tried to dislodge the chicken nugget that the woman choked on, but wasn’t successful, so she called for a bystander to help and together they were able to clear the food from the woman’s throat, allowing her to breathe again.

A pair of local police officers arrived on scene shortly after to check on the grateful woman and they gave Sydney a $100 reward for her efforts. Her employer also recognized her too. "We are incredibly proud of Sydney and her quick, heroic actions over the weekend to help one of our valued customers." owner-operator Paul Ostergaard says in a written statement to CNN. "Sydney truly personifies what it is to be a hero and we are incredibly lucky to have her as a highly-valued crew member.."
