A Florida man has been arrested after stealing a lot more than burgers from a McDonald’s location, according to deputies
On September 4, 2022, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigators arrested Jon Jon Smith, 38, for stealing nearly $200,000 from a local McDonald’s.
Investigators say these thefts occurred between September 2021 and June 2022, while Smith was employed as the store manager.
On June 30, 2022, deputies said they were told that Smith committed the crime by change orders.
Smith would request a change order and when he received it, he would put the money in his pocket and not into the Loomis Safe, where it was supposed to go, according to the arrest report.

That will be a Big Mac, a Coke and 5,000 orders of fries.
38 years old and still calling himself Jon Jon? That seems better suited as a child’s nickname.
Local story here.
This guy would have been smarter to rob it outright.............😎
he stole over $700 a day, bit by bit?
Was he caught, in part because the change orders there were much more than change orders at other McDonald’s?
I worked years ago in a franchised fast food company district office, and sometimes audits were triggered, by unusual activity. At least one manager got in legal trouble, due to things not being in balance. They had consistent over and short problems, plus inventory usage was very unusual there.
When your name is "Jon Smith," you have to do something to differentiate yourself from the millions of other "John Smiths."
Regards,
The article never names the actual crime which is embezzlement.
Perhaps it’s too difficult for the average Floridian to pronounce.
Well, you cannot blame him too much...
The looks to me like the typical MBA recipient...
After all, these days an MBA is really the equivalent of a 6th-grade graduation test...
When he gets to prison his name will be Alice
I guess that’s the Hamburglar in street clothes?
“Robble-Robble!”
Those places are gold mines.
Watch it. You gonna get some wimmings mad at you. Many still love John (John John) Kennedy, Jr.
If Jon is also his middle name, his parents are to blame.
Must have been a company store, There’s no way an owner/operator would overlook that kind of money that long

Made my first million at Mickey D’s. I’d pick up all the change on the floors after the all-out brawls in the dining areas every weekend. :D
That's probably not too much of an exaggeration.
Embezzlers like this usually start small, to test the waters. Then as time goes on they get bolder, greedier.
It would take forever to embezzle $200K by changing an order from say two orders of fries to one. So you go to five orders of fries to one. Ten orders of fries to one...
This guy had to know he would get caught eventually so he was probably trying to maximize his take before quitting and getting out of Dodge with his money.
That’s always the problem with being an absentee part owner. You partner will steal you blind.
