60 Days for McDonalds Freakout

By Jeralyn

This security camera video of 25 year old Melodi Dushane freaking out at the drive-up window of McDonalds because they were only serving breakfast and not McNuggets at 6:30 a.m., is hilarious. It also cost Dushane 60 days in jail and $1,500 in restitution to McDonalds.

The encounter begins normally, and around 1:10 in, the freakout begins. She escalates from berating the employee, to forcing the window open and trying to climb in, to bashing the employee. She then gets back in her car, only to get out and go back up to the window, smashing it with a bottle.

A few seconds after she finally leaves, another car drives up, and the employee, not missing a beat and still holding something to her bruised head, calmly hands over the order. I bet Jet Blue would like to hire someone with her work ethic.

Steven Slater, hero. Melodi? Misfit.
