Customer orders bagel, gets bag of cash

WESTON, Fla., Dec. 19 (UPI) -- A South Florida customer ordered a bagel at a McDonald's drive-through and instead received a bag full of cash.

When Janice Meissner ordered a bagel and Diet Coke she was handed a sack and started to drive off when she noticed the bag seemed heavy. Inside, no bagel but thousands of dollars.

After thinking it over for a moment, she backed up to the window and the employee who had handed her the bag.

"I said, Do you want to know what was in this bag?'" Meissner recalled. "She turned white as a ghost. She didn't realize the money was missing yet. She thanked me. And that was that."

Some one had put the Weston restaurant's bank deposit money in a Big Mac sack to disguise it but it was placed too close to the drive-through window.

McDonald's officials said they would send Meissner a thank-you letter and $50 in gift certificates.
