(USA) A couple got an early
Christmas present when they ordered food from their local
McDonald's drive thru.
Greg and Stacye Terry had picked up their breakfast at the
McDonald's branch in Hermitage and had returned home to eat it
when, upon opening the bag, they discovered that the drive thru
employee had handed them a massive pile of cash instead.
"My husband opened the bag and discovered the money inside," said
Stacye Terry. "He said, You are not going to believe this.' Sure
enough, it was their bank deposit money."
An employee from the restaurant turned up a short time later having
realized the mistake and the couple were happy to return the bag.
It turned out that the deposit money had been placed on the counter
with the drive thru orders and then handed to the couple by
accident.
"We are grateful for this customer and the action they took upon
realizing our error," McDonald's said in a statement. "We are
looking in to why this mistake happened, but what is most important
to us is knowing that we are part a community with the values that
were evidenced by this person's actions."
Both Greg and Stacye are keen to return to McDonald's in the
future. "We'll be back. We'll be back," said Greg. "But, next time
I'm sure we'll leave with our normal breakfast order."
