One man was certainly "lovin' it" during a recent trip to McDonald's, after walking away with an unexpectedly huge profit on his order.
Josiah Vargas received the shock of his life after going through the drive-thru at the fast-food chain. When he opened his bag afterward in the parking lot, however, he realized employees had accidentally given him a several-thousand-dollar deposit alongside his sausage McMuffin.
The confused customer - who uses the handle @dookiedoeboy - then took to TikTok to explain the puzzling incident. So far, his viral clip has racked up a total of 1.2 million views and over 285,000 likes.
In the video, Vargas holds up a white, plastic bag with the famous golden arch logo. As he opens it up, he reveals that it's filled with thousands of dollars of cold, hard, cash neatly packaged in little zip-lock bags.
Vargas begins the TikTok by detailing how he'd gone to his local McDonald's chain to get a sausage McMuffin. "What's in this bag? Their f**king deposits," he says, without revealing the restaurant's location.
"Just a couple thousand dollars here. Like, what is this? Why would they do this?", he continues. "Now I have to return this because I'm a good person, I guess."
The good Samaritan then returned to the McDonald's restaurant to return the dough, asking himself as he exits the car: "Why would you guys do this to me? Do you know how bad I want this money?"
As he entered the restaurant, Vargas jokingly asked the employees if they were laundering money, to which many of the staff members replied: "Oh my God." Evidently, they were relieved to be receiving their cash back.
One crew member even said she wanted to hug Vargas and take a photo with him. Clearly, the staff was so happy that Vargas returned the money that they even decided to reward him.
"They were just all hugging me and thanking me and crying, and I get free McDonald's for a month, I guess," Vargas said to the camera as he hopped back in the car, adding that he was also given a $200 reward.
Many people took to the comments to praise him for his good deed, with one person writing: "Someone kept their job because you did the right thing good on you man."
"Bro, you probably just saved all their jobs," another added.
"Your smile when you got back in the car. You're an incredible human being," a third person wrote.
Though, not everyone said the same thing. Other users said that they would have kept the money, like this person who commented: "When life gives you lemons, don't throw them away honey."

Any time you step into a fast food restaurant of any kind, you're unwittingly entering into a contract.
Walk up to the counter of a McDonald's, KFC or Burger King, and provided you can pony up the dough, you can have delicious greasy food to fill your face hole, and give you energy for the long day ahead. It's simple enough in practice, but implicit in this contract is the concept of good faith.
What does this mean, you ask? This means that if your overworked server forgets to add a simple condiment (eg. hot sauce on a taco), you won't throw a hissy fit and attempt to threaten the staff. That no matter how strong the urge is, try not to roll up to a drive-thru on a horse. But one thing you should always do is take the drink you paid for.
That means, folks: if you've got water on your receipt, you go and use that empty cup you get for water and water only. Not only is it dishonest, but restaurant managers are onto you, and they're tired of it; I'm sure I don't need to remind you of the McDonald's manager who laid down a serious beatdown on someone who tried that exact trick.
Now, after hearing about this story, I'm deterred from ever trying it, thanks to this little story about a man who ended up in the back of a police car for doing exactly that, jolts of electricity still running through his veins, like a really depressing Spider-Man villain. Let's delve a little bit further into this story, shall we?
It takes place in Montana, where 48-year-old Daniel Stine reportedly tried to pull off the oldest trick in the book at a local Arby's. The Missoula Police Department reported that Stine entered the restaurant on Thursday afternoon and asked for a cup of water, but instead filled it with soda. When confronted by a sharp-eyed server, Stine attempted to escape the restaurant.
This would-be soda, thief, however, did not get very far.
Followed out of the restaurant by the server who spotted the iniquity, the employee reportedly told Stine that he was no longer welcome at that particular Arby's. Slapped with this latest ban, the employee said that Stine turned around, and tried to kick them, before walking away.
Police said that when they arrived on the scene, Stine noticed them and ran away to a nearby Denny's, where he took refuge in a bathroom. They report: “The officers attempted to take control of him physically and that’s when he began to resist and fight with the officers and had to be tased to comply to the officer’s instructions.”
Oh dear.
Not only did Stine not get his water cup full of soda, KCTV reports that he got a "super-sized list of charges". Stine will reportedly face a "felony robbery charge" on top of his "four misdemeanors including Criminal Trespass, Disorderly Conduct, Obstructing A Peace Officer, and Resisting Arrest".
All for a cup of soda at Arby's. Would you believe it?

Starbucks literally just finished racial bias training - we've been told time and time again that discrimination against anyone for essentially existing and doing all the crap people seemingly do every day is not right (you shouldn't have to be told anyway, it should be instilled upon you from birth) yet here we are again with another clown.
Footage has emerged of a man racially abusing a worker at a fast food restaurant for not honoring his burger voucher.
The man launches a vile tirade against the server at the Jack in a Box restaurant in Manvel, Texas where at one point he threatens to send her "back to Mexico."
The original video by Lupita Rangel, was posted here by Wolfie Hernandez, the original post translates to, "I buy you a ticket back to #Mexico", so threaten this man to a Latina employee in a #jackinthebox, apparently the man got upset because he didn't make a coupon that was already beaten, the facts happened to #south From #Houston."
Lupita herself posted: "Never thought i'd experience racism so close."
Another member of staff steps in to try and identify what the issue is. The man responds "She lied her a** off. She thought she could get away with it." While the member of staff tries to tell the man that he will be getting what he had asked for, the man interjects, and claims he had seen the woman dropping food.
He then asks the woman's name and says "goodbye Maria. I'm going to buy you a ticket back to Mexico." The man then storms out of the premises. The video has been viewed over 86,000 times, with many people sharing their outrage at the footage.
Jason Steinberg wrote: "Another day, another angry racist." Christopher Green wrote: "That's horrible. People go through life angry about the smallest things and that talk such hatred ... karma will get him."
Hopefully, a similar fate befalls the unnamed man as it did New York lawyer, Aaron Schlossberg. His racist rant lead to some rather delicious just desserts.
People posted so many negative reviews on his law firm’s Yelp listing that Yelp themselves had to intervene. The company says its policy for news making businesses is to remove posts “that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business”.
New reviews about the law firm that apparently slipped through the filtering range from ironically helpful—like how concerned New Yorkers can lodge complaints—to tabloid headline-like condemnations (and subtle sketch show references) such as: “Ya done messed up now, A-a-ron!!”
Schlossberg is no longer welcome in the building where he rents office space. This is probably the result of critics quickly locating Schlossberg’s office listing on Google Maps.
Not only did this include changing the business category to “Mexican Restaurant” and swapping a photo of the attorney for an image of a dog being hit in the face with a frisbee, they also created a GoFundMe page raising “$500 to send a Mariachi band to cheer up the staff and attorneys at The Law Office of Aaron M. Schlossberg Esq. after a difficult day”.
Unsurprisingly, Schlossberg has a history of being a complete a**hole. Internet sleuths and activists dug up dirt on Schlossberg, including video of him calling someone an “ugly f**king foreigner” and photos of him in the company of noted pro-Trump trolls not to mention berating Jewish people for going on marches for Palestine. Talk s**t, get hit...with the scorn of millions of Americans, united in their total disgust of you. Your time is coming, blue t-shirt man.

Police in New Jersey are on the lookout for a young man who released a giant rodent into a McDonald's earlier last week, causing a frenzy inside the restaurant.
NBC New York reports that a young man - accompanied by a young boy - walked into a McDonald's in Newark on February 5, carrying a large white rat inside of a clear plastic container. Video of the rat getting loose - possibly filmed by an accomplice - quickly made its way to Facebook, where it has already generated nearly 250,000 views.
"Let me hold it!" the younger boy implicated in the video says, before he and the suspect move to the centre of the McDonald's branch to release the animal.
[[facebookwidget||https://www.facebook.com/fe.xkirra/videos/vb.100012997208722/601729133603655/?type=2&video_source=user_video_tab]]
The customers already inside of the McDonald's react in panic once they see the rodent, and one patron can be heard screaming "We out, we out, we out!" as the rat runs loose. The suspects also quickly make their exit, but it's not clear at this moment what exactly inspired the prank.
All the same, the video has proven popular on social media for the wrong, with several people commenting on the prank. "And that supposed to be funny. Grow up people," says one unimpressed Facebook user, while others have slammed the prankster in question, with one commenting:
"First that’s animal abuse and the kid on video should be arrested for doing this. That was an innocent animal. He might think it’s funny but people who care about animals doubt little f**king asshole."
Fortunately, the rat in question did not seem to be hurt, with a McDonald's spokesperson confirming after the fact that once the McDonald's location had emptied, "the rat exited the restaurant through the front door", adding that the location had been thoroughly cleaned.
Celest Quintana, owner and operator for this particular McDonald's, also gave a statement to CBS, confirming that the police had gotten involved in order to bring the prankster to justice.
“The safety of our customers and the cleanliness of our restaurants are our top priorities. Following this incident, our restaurant staff thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the dining area and contacted the police. We are currently working with local law enforcement to identify the person responsible for this deliberate act.”
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a live animal has been released into a McDonald's, to panicked and frenzied effect. Last month, a San Francisco location evacuated in a similar frenzy after a homeless man brought a bloodied dead raccoon to a McDonald's. The entire incident was recorded by customer Chris Brooks after he walked into a branch on Potrero Avenue.

"I didn't know if the raccoon was dead or alive, my thought was to get out of the way," explained Brooks, who ran out of the restaurant as soon as the man entered, and recorded the entire situation from outside of the restaurant, shutting down the McDonald's location in the process.
Fortunately, the raccoon was disposed of by the staff on duty, before the Department of Environmental Health confirmed that it took around five hours to ensure the location was clean enough to eat in once more.

We all get frustrated when we request pizza for delivery, only to crack open the box and discover that they totally screwed up the order. Maybe you wanted sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza, only to get stuck with plain cheese. Or maybe the meal was missing something, like a side order of breadsticks, soda or, worst of all, chicken wings.
Usually scorned customers call the store to complain or write a scathing online review, but one woman in St. Paul, Minnesota took her outrage to a whole new level. After noticing that her Domino's order was missing chicken wings, 59-year-old Holly Webb was so upset that she drove to the location and pulled a handgun out on employees, according to WCCO. She reportedly then demanded a "motherf***ing refund." (Damn. Those chicken wings must be good.)
Two Domino's employees witnessed the shocking incident and called 911, at which point Webb fled the scene. Shortly afterward, she received a knock at her door, but it wasn't an apologetic Domino's employee bringing her a side of delicious chicken wings. It was the police. And the only thing they were serving...was justice. (Cue CSI: Miami's David Caruso putting on sunglasses to The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again - "YEEEEAAAHHH!")
During questioning, Webb initially claimed she left the gun in her car's glove compartment and entered the store to complain without it. When officers informed her that surveillance cameras captured the incident on the video, she changed her story, and admitted to displaying the weapon. However, she still insists she did not point the gun at anyone in particular.
Webb was charged with one felony count of threats of violence, which carries a maximum sentence of five years behind bars, a $10,000 fine, or both, if she's found guilty. Authorities say she has a permit to carry. If chicken wings are ever promised as part of a meal when Webb is in jail, officials would be well advised not to forget them.
