Josiah went to McDonald’s to get a sausage McMuffin. He had no idea that at the drive-through, he would be given a bag with about $5,000 in cash instead. Josiah was having an existential crisis and couldn’t get a sausage McMuffin, so he did the right thing and gave the money back to some happy McDonald’s employees.
When Josiah finds out about the mistake, he has to make a choice.
The McDonald’s workers are happy to get their deposit money back, which may have saved some of their jobs. Josiah gets $200, free McDonald’s for a month, and a big smile because he was kind. A later TikTok does show that a different shift at McDonald’s didn’t know about the promise and made him pay for his food.
