Supersize Me, Pt. II



From the Associated Press :

San Benito, Texas — A teenager says she found a partially smoked, quarter-inch long marijuana cigarette in her frozen yogurt parfait at a McDonald's in South Texas.

Valerie Valle, 16, of Round Rock and seven other family members were returning home Thursday from a weeklong vacation on South Padre Island when they stopped for breakfast, the Valley Morning Star in Harlingen reported Saturday.

Valle said she waited in line 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.

I must point out that a frozen yogurt parfait hardly constitutes "breakfast". A person capable of ordering said desert item for the most important meal of the day is exactly the sort of individual likely to claim compensation after planting illegal drugs. I'm certain McDonald's' legal team needs no help from me, but scam artists like Valle shouldn't be allowed to prosper.
