Does This Look Like the Face Of A Guy Who Almost Fought McDonalds Workers Because He Thinks Happy Meal Toys Are Racist?

DES MOINES, Iowa — Des Moines police have arrested a man who caused a scene Tuesday at a metro McDonald’s when he claimed the restaurant was racist because Happy Meal toys did not have dark skin. Thirty-four-year-old Lance Williams Sr. is charged with assault and disorderly conduct. Police say he went into the restaurant, in the 1300 block of East Euclid Tuesday afternoon, first asking about the price of water. A friend of Williams then bought a sandwich and walked out, then came back in complaining that there was a bite taken out of the sandwich. The manager said he overheard a child who was upset that his sandwich had been taken back inside admit to taking a bite. Williams demanded money back for the sandwich on behalf of his friend, which the manager returned — hoping he would leave. Williams remained in the restaurant then started to claim McDonald’s was a racist restaurant because Happy Meal toys did not have dark skin. Police say the suspect starting slinging racial slurs at workers and claimed he would jump over the counter and fight them.

Alright so this might look like your classic scam because it is.  Dude buys a hamburger, takes a bite out of it and then goes back in and says he wants a refund because they sold him a burger with a bite out of it.  He gets to keep the sandwich and get his money back.  Not a terrible plan actually.  But then he did what is the eventual downfall of every man, he got greedy.  He thought his scamming skills were so good that he could milk the place for more.  Listen, if scamming is your thing, cool.  Everybody’s gotta eat.  You’re reading the blog of a guy who openly rooted for a guy who robbed drug dealers on The Wire.  But you gotta know your limits.  Take that happy meal sandwich and your refunded money and run.  That’s a good day’s work.  You lose all scamming credibility when you start yelling about Happy Meal toys being racist.

PS- On the flip side, if the world can have black emojis then why can’t there be black Happy Meal toys?  In the words of PFTCommenter, goes both ways.
