WAUKESHA, Wis. (TCD) — A woman was arrested a month after she allegedly made threatening comments to McDonald’s employees because some of her french fries were burned.

WITI-TV reports Breneida Gottschalk went to the fast-food chain in Brookfield, purchased a sandwich, soda, and fries, then ate her meal. When she finished, she allegedly approached the counter and started criticizing the fact that there was a “burnt end” on some of her leftover fries. She allegedly attempted to make her way into the McDonald’s kitchen to get a new order.
