SAN BENITO, Texas (AP) - A teenager says she found a partially smoked marijuana joint in her frozen yogurt parfait at a McDonald's in south Texas.
Valerie Valle, 16, of Round Rock, Texas, and seven other family members were returning home last week from a vacation on South Padre Island, Texas, when they stopped for breakfast.
Valle said she waited in line on July 22 to return the parfait and replied "no thanks" when asked if she wanted another one. The restaurant refunded the money.
According to a San Benito police report, only two McDonald's employees made parfaits that morning. Restaurant management told police the employees take drug tests. No charges have been filed.
"We're conducting our own internal investigation into this incident," said Joe Magliolo, operations manager for the company that owns the McDonald's franchise. "Obviously, it would be inappropriate to come to any conclusions as to what did or did not happen until all the facts are known."
Do they charge extra for that?
About five minutes before she bought it, I'll bet there was a scene right out of a teen stoner comedy, with the uptight dorky restaurant manager stumbling in unannounced on our teenaged heros, creating comic panic with predictable results.
Happy meal???
What amazes me is that the restaurant does drug tests.
I would never be coerced into a drug test to get a hamburger flipping job. Unbelievable.
Jeez, first you want us to take out all the saturted fat AND now all the MJ? How will you call it a Happy Meal after that???
Guess McD's figures that's the short cut to the "munchies". Lace the desserts with blunts. Should increase dessert sales.
Send for the exterminator. Evidently McDonald's has a problem with roaches.
Uh, yeah...I'd like a Blunt McReefer, a Hash McBrownie, and a Diet Coke please.
It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this. With the successful coffee-spillage lawsuit against Mickey-D's, I'm skeptical of most high-profile accusations against fast-food restaurants now.
It's too easy to extort settlements from these chains, it seems. Even if the accusation is proven false, from McDonalds' point of view, the damage is already done.

I'm sure a McInvestigation will root out the McCulprits. Come to think of it whatever happened to the fry guys?
"Dang it, I said hold the lettuce!"
Someone's looking to get rich, that's all. Calling John Edwards!
Can they supersize that?
Try again.
I'm sure a McInvestigation will root out the McCulprits. BTW whatever happened to the fry guys?

So I guess this was a "burger joint"?
(Ouch. I hurt myself.)
She won't get another if she makes a big fuss ;)
Is she sure she didn't order the Ricky Williams Happy Meal?
Fry/Cook the new job description?
