We can do an entire “Best of 2022” list of fast food restaurant shenanigans, and half of them would be at McDonald’s. Our latest installment is a real-life Hamburgler. He held up the cashier with a knife, though he didn’t steal money. He stole a handful of double cheeseburgers and dozens of Chicken McNuggets… that he shoved into his pants.
Why yes, this does take place in New York City. However, did you guess?

No one was hurt in the robbery. My guess is they were too busy staring at the guy thinking “…wait, that’s all you want?”
