Wish I got this when McD's messes up my order..
 

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.

Sweet. I wish more people were that honest.

:1orglaugh

Indeed. The world would be a much better place.

$50 gift certificate...LOL...stupid woman shoud have kept the bag

So she could've driven off with thousands of dollars and their only gonna send her $50 in GIFT CERTIFICATES. Come on people, I would send like $500 in non-gift certificates!

So, in the morning is when I will go now!

Pretty fucking cheap of Mc.D's to only give her 50 buck of gift certificates. 100 at least!

Ppl like this makes me sick in the stomach

I wouldn't feel guilty at all to keep that loot :glugglug Fuck Mcdonalds for poisoning the people with their artery clogging slop

Maybe it's part of their new "Lovin' it" ad campaign.

i was expecting to see that they got 2 picks off the dollar menu!

Thank you for your honesty, as a thank you, we would like to offer you one meal free when you purchase another at full price...and a free regular size pop. :winkwink:

ha!...that Mcd's is 10 seconds away from my house here in Weston. This is an upper class neighborhood...I think Dan Marino had a house here....so I'm not suprised that she returned the money.


honest people = :thumbsup

:1orglaugh exaclty..

Goddammit, now I want some McNuggets and fries and I can't have any because I can't get to the local McD's because there's ice all over the roads.

*sigh*

I would have sent them a $50 gift certificate and a big thank you for the cash!

I would have taken the money and said " thats for all the times you forgot to put ketchup in my bag bastards"

I would have returned the money without thinking twice. Had they given me $50 in certificates I would have been plenty happy. Ungrateful fuckers.

Need a reward to do something good and honest? Heh.

she had to give it back - most mcdicks have cameras on the licence plates

Damn, $50 in gift certificates is nothing to McD's. They could've at least given her cash. :disgust

Finders keepers Losers weepers.

I would keep the money regardless, You couldnt be charged with anything. Worst they could do is a civil suit, and then you might even end up with more money.

I agree Mcdonald's are a bunch of cheap ass I don't understand why she didn't keep the money. Not fucking able to give at least half of the money in the bag.

Honesty is more important to some people than a few dollars.

I'm glad I don't do business with most of you.

or maybe it was drug money handed off to the wrong car and the deposit story is just a cover up :Graucho
