Talk about a super-sized Happy Meal.
One Fort Wayne, Indiana man drove through a McDonald’s and ordered a sausage McMuffin earlier this week. Pretty standard stuff. Like so many of us, he checked the order.
There was no sausage McMuffin.
Instead, there was $5,000 cash.
Josiah Vargas recorded the whole incident and posted to TikTok where his video has now been viewed more than more than 2.2 million times since it was post earlier this week.
Vargas appears to pull over to check his order only to find plastic bags of cash, which he assumes is the store’s daily bank deposit. Now, he debates with himself as to his next move.
“Why would you do this to me? Do you know how bad I want this money?” he asked the camera.
Vargas returned to the lobby of the McDonald’s joking, “You guys laundering money out here?”
The response from the staff was relief.
“This is a blessing from God,” one employee said. “I really want to give you a hug.”
Vargas said he got free McDonald’s for a month and a $200 reward.
His message to his followers after the experience was simple: “Do good, people. Return $5,000 and get $200 and free McDonald’s for a month,” he said. “It’s a good trade value … and maybe a viral TikTok.”
