Chilling threat to McDonald's staff over missing nuggets sauce

A man has been arrested after he allegedly threatened to blow up McDonald's when the restaurant forgot his dipping sauce.

Robert Golwitzer Jr was arrested by officers attached to the Ankeny Police Department in Iowa after he made a threatening call to a local McDonald's.

According to local news station KCCI, Golwitzer called the McDonald's after he discovered his order was wrong and he didn't receive the dipping sauce he wanted to complement his nuggets on Saturday evening (local time).

He allegedly threatened to blow up the restaurant and punch an employee.

Public records from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office show Golwitzer was charged with making a false report of an explosive device.

He was booked on Saturday, but released the following day.

Fight breaks out over McDonald's slushie flavours

Earlier this month, a woman was filmed attacking a McDonald's staff member after she was told she could not mix slushie flavours.

The incident happened in the US state of Ohio and a witness told Cleveland 19 News the customer became "increasingly irritated and combative" and then tried to force her way behind the counter to make her own drink.

In the end, a staff member stood up to the woman, pulled her to the ground and repeatedly punched her in the face.

On June 11, a brawl broke out at a McDonald's in Brazil when the restaurant ran out of Big Mac burgers.

The violent altercation was filmed and went viral on social media.
