WESTON, Fla. - A mother of three got a lot more than she ordered at a McDonald's drive-thru. Janice Meissner ordered a bagel and a Diet Coke for breakfast last week, but when she got her food bag it seemed "super heavy."
That was because it had hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in a sealed plastic bag ? money that turned out to be the restaurant's bank deposit.
McDonald's officials, who wouldn't say exactly how much was involved, said the deposit was placed in a food bag as a security procedure to make it less conspicuous before it was taken to the bank.
They said it was accidentally left too close to the drive-thru window of the Weston fast-food chain.
"Someone didn't check twice before sending it out the window, obviously," said spokeswoman Beth Plotkin.
Meissner, who had just dropped off her 5-year-old daughter at preschool, paused for a moment before backing up her minivan to the pickup window and returning the money to the employee who handed her the bag.
"I said, `Do you want to know what was in this bag?'" Meissner recalled. "She turned white as a ghost. She didn't realize the money was missing yet. She thanked me. And that was that."
McDonald's officials said Thursday they are going to send Meissner a thank-you letter and $50 in gift certificates.
