Orland Park Woman Acts Like Clown Over 16-Cent Sauce Packet: Cops

ORLAND PARK, Illinois — A woman upset over the cost of a 16-cent sauce packet took part in harassing a McDonald's worker and pelting him with french fries and an ice cream cone, police said.

The woman, 20, of Orland Park, also called the McDonald's after she left and claimed her "dad is an owner" who was going to fire the manager, police said.

McDonald's workers reportedly told police that two women placed an order at the drive-thru window of the 11111 179th St. restaurant. The women asked for more sauce packets and were told they cost 16 cents each, police said. The woman and her pal reportedly complained and asked for a supervisor.

The 23-year-old supervisor explained the 16-cent sauce policy to the women and "both customers began cursing at (him) and expressing their frustration," police said.

"The passenger threw the package of french fries through the window at" the supervisor and he "threw the fries back and left the window," police said.

The woman and her friend "sped off" in their black Volkswagen but a "few moments later, those same (women) placed an order for an ice cream cone at the drive-thru window," police said.

The women "waited in the drive-thru until (the supervisor) approached it," police said. "At that time, the passenger in the back seat threw the ice cream cone through the window at (the supervisor). All parties involved cursed at each other while the (women) sped away."

And then, a "few moments later, the store received a call," police said. "The 'caller ID' displayed the woman as the last name (of the caller)." The female caller cursed and said, "My dad is an owner and you're going to be fired.'"

The supervisor called the police. An officer called the woman and she explained "that it was a big misunderstanding."

"She further advised that the manager ... called her a 'bitch,'" police said.

The officer told the woman he wanted her and her alleged partner in crime to return to the restaurant but "[the woman] replied that she could not and would not come back to McDonald's," police said. The officer reportedly hung up on her when she failed to provide any more information.

The woman was charged with disorderly conduct, police said.
