TL;DR

AMHERST, N.Y. (WKBW) — It was around 2:00 p.m. Friday when Jeffrey Spangler, Kristin Kosha and Amanda Kendall were closing up the McDonalds on Sweet Home Road and Sheridan Drive in Amherst, when the snow started flying and the winds were whipping.“We had to make the right choice for us and our other manager with us.”Knowing they had a warm place to stay, and plenty of food, Kosha opened up an invitation to anyone stuck on the streets to come to the McDonalds.In fact, more than 50 people throughout the Christmas weekend sought shelter inside the food chain.They chatted amongst themselves, mingled and we kept them fed.”The team took in people from all over Western New York, even a baby as young as 7 months old.You have a warm building and no one is in it…why would you not open it up?”“We were more worried about helping people and making sure everyone else was okay, and being prepared for what possibly could happen next."
