"To Get Revenge on Ex-Girlfriend" US McDonald's Manager Spits on French Fries

Act of Revenge Against Ex-Girlfriend

Up to 5 Years in Prison if Found Guilty

A manager at a McDonald's store in the United States has been brought to trial on charges of selling french fries that he put in his own mouth. It was reported that he committed this act to take revenge on his ex-girlfriend.

According to local media outlets such as the New York Post on the 19th (local time), Kaylee Santos, 22, who worked as a manager at a McDonald's in Southbridge, Massachusetts, has been indicted on charges of distributing food containing harmful substances.

Santos's crime was revealed on April 9. She licked a french fry with her tongue, spat into the container, and then handed it over through the drive-thru window. A video of her actions spread via Facebook and other social networking services (SNS), sparking widespread controversy.

According to the investigation, the victim turned out to be Santos's ex-girlfriend, with whom she had been in a relationship for two years. Police identified the victim through a license plate check and confirmed Santos's crime through in-store CCTV footage and SNS videos. The video clearly captured Santos licking the french fries and then placing them back in the container before handing them to her ex-girlfriend.

The footage also showed Santos saying, "Today, my ex-girlfriend wants to eat french fries."

It is reported that the victim did not order french fries that day. However, it is known that she accepted the fries from Santos, thinking they were complimentary. She was only able to understand the situation after the video spread, and subsequently expressed her intention to pursue legal action against Santos.

According to the police investigation, Santos harbored resentment after her ex-girlfriend recently started dating a new boyfriend. Prosecutors determined that Santos's crime was particularly egregious given her responsibilities as the manager in charge of the store's hygiene and safety. If found guilty, Santos could face up to five years in prison.

Meanwhile, McDonald's, where the incident occurred, issued a statement condemning the behavior, saying, "This conduct is unacceptable" and "does not reflect the safety standards and values of our organization." It was also reported that employees who assisted Santos were immediately dismissed.
