Not-So-Happy Meal: Florida Woman Accused Of Pulling Gun On McDonald’s Worker Over Missing Menu Item
March 26 2023, Published 2:13 p.m. ET
A woman in Florida was arrested after she allegedly pulled out a gun in a McDonald’s drive-thru over a missing menu item, police said.
On March 16, Quavi Young, 26, drove up to the speaker at the fast-food restaurant's drive-through in Brevard County and tried to order a meal that wasn't listed on the menu board, WBBH-TV reported.
The worker told Young that the order could not be completed, so Young pulled up to the first drive-through window and demanded that her order be taken anyway, court records show.
The employee asked Young what her problem was and why she was so upset, which allegedly prompted Young to pull out a gun, point it at the worker and tell her that “she’ll push her shit back,” according to the arrest report.
Police were called and when they arrived, they found a black M&P gun with a drum-style magazine capable of holding up to 50 rounds on the passenger seat of Young’s vehicle, authorities said.
Workers at the McDonald’s spoke with police and said this was the second time Young had been at the fast-food restaurant that night, court documents show. However, the documents included no details about the first alleged encounter.
