Idiots Of The Week: McDonald’s Employee Scammed, 911 Buttdial

At the end of each week, we look back at some stories of really stupid people doing really dumb things during the Idiot of the Week segment. Here are this week’s nominees, presented by Free Beer, Hot Wings and Joe.

Free Beer: An idiot in Hackettstown, New Jersey was duped into taking $1,200 from the safe at the McDonald’s he worked at as part of a scam.

At about 7:30 am, the employee received a call from a man claiming to be from MCDonald’s corporate telling him to take the money from the safe and use them to purchase gift cards. The money was claimed to be used to “save jobs” by corporate. The employee then took a taxi to purchase the gift cards, relay the info to the mystery man and then returned to work.

Police are still investigating the situation but have warned people to not give money to scammers…makes sense.

Hot Wings: We’ve all butt dialed before, which is usually just a “whoops, sorry” kind of incident, but for this Walmart worker it actually got her arrested.

Brown Deer police, near Milwaukee, received a 911 hangup from the store around 2am. Turns out the 27-year-old employee who made the call was actually wanted under warrants and was promptly arrested once it was determined she was the one who dialed.

Her butt not only called 911 but got her taken to jail! And that’s why we always make sure to lock our phones, gang!
