Florida woman arrested for threatening to get McDonald's sauce by any 'means necessary'

https://nypost.com/2020/01/07/florida-woman-arrested-for-threatening-to-get-mcdonalds-sauce-by-any-means-necessary/



A Florida woman was arrested for threatening to rob a McDonald’s because they did not serve dipping sauce along with her food, a report said Monday.

Maguire Marie Mclaughlin, 19, was denied the condiment at a McDonald’s in Vero Beach, Fla., last week and pledged to obtain the dipping sauce “by whatever means necessary,” according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun.

The fracas allegedly took place at about 4 a.m. New Year’s Day when police arrived to witness Mclaughlin yelling profanities at the drive-thru because she claimed she did not receive all of her food.

“The employee advised Mclaughlin that dipping sauce cost 25 cents,” read the police report from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.

“Mclaughlin further stated that she would be getting the sauce by whatever means necessary, however, could not specify what she meant by that.”

They just want to be funny by pretending that we are stuff happens more frequently in Florida than in other states.

that makes police/arrest reports public info, immediately accessible by reporters (and anyone else interested).

Actually, though, if she is using meth, it hasn't been for long. She looks pretty healthy. Meth users look like walking dead.

I am convinced that anyone who consumes McDonald's "food" needs a psychiatric examinination. I wouldn't feed that shit to my dogs.

Disclaimer: I haven't been to McD's in at least a decade or more, but I seem to remember the sauce is automatic?

But, yeah, just pay the quarter you dumb lady!
Was it really worth getting arrested?

I think she's younger than a Millennial, but I can't keep up with these generational labels.

By any means necessary? Maybe she meant paying a premium on the 25 cents? Or, driving to an out of town McDonald's?
