French Fry Rage at McDonald's


Here's another heart warming story about a man and a woman who went into McDonald's expecting a large order of fries.
Instead they got an order of small french fries by mistake,  so they did what any of us would do, they threw coins from the change at the McDonald's cashiers. (Please note, we don't throw coins, we keep them)
Christina Galipeau, 22, and Eugene Jackson, 33, pleaded innocent to assault charges at their arraignment in Quincy District Court.
Galipeau was released on her own recognizance and ordered a $1,000 bail for Jackson, who was wanted on two warrants issued in other courts in drug and assault cases.
The court ordered Galipeau and Jackson to stay out of the McDonald’s and to make no contact with the cashiers.
When police were called at 11:23 p.m., Jackson, Galipeau and her sister had already left in their car.
A cashier who took their order told police that when Galipeau complained of getting the wrong size fries, she gave her a large fries and handed her change.
The women exchanged words, and that's when Galipeau threw the change at her, hitting her in the face.
Jackson picked up a two-foot tall cone from the mopped floor and hurled it at the cashier and another employee, a 54-year-old woman.
In the parking lot, Jackson  threw another plastic cone at the second cashier, who had run outside to get their license plate number.
The second cashier was struck in the face, leaving a cut on her nose.
The first cashier and Galipeau fought and pulled each other’s hair before all was said and done.
Quincy police traced the car to Galipeau’s home and officers arrived as the trio pulled up to the house.
Jackson was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (that would be the plastic cone) and giving false information to a police officer.
Galipeau was charged with assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (kicking someone when down).
