Keep the Change

Sometimes we think fast food is getting slower and more expensive, but now we've found the right destination to feed our cravings and help the bank balance. This week at a McDonald's in Belgium, a drive-thru customer ordered his meal--probably een Cheeseburger and een grote Milkshake--and drove off with the normal paper bag and a cheery Eet smakelijk (enjoy your meal) from the server.

He really enjoyed it: the bag contained 15,000 Euros (almost $19,000). He enjoyed his cheeseburger, contemplated moral values briefly, and returned the money to the store, where he was promised a reward.

Of course, we recommend experiencing local cuisine when you travel, but just for the record, he visited McDonald's in Waterloo, near Brussels; unfortunately, we can't guarantee the same result when you stop by.
