Drive-through customer flees with McDonald’s employee’s shirt, deputies say

By NAPLES DAILY NEWS STAFF
9:00 p.m., Sunday, August 3, 2008

It’s safe to assume Joseph Henry Devalle didn’t order a Happy Meal.
The Golden Gate Estates man’s trip through a McDonald’s restaurant drive-through in North Naples began with an argument over his order and ended with his arrest after police found him at home with a drive-through attendant’s shirt.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office gives this account:
Sheriff’s deputies responded early Saturday to the McDonald’s restaurant 11145 U.S. 41 North, and heard a complaint from a male employee, who was not named in the police report.
The employee took Devalle’s order at the drive-through, but Devalle, 37, complained it was incorrect. The employee repeated the order, but Devalle then took issue with the dollar amount. The argument escalated, and when Devalle pulled up to the drive-through window, the employee refused him service.
Eventually the employee put his arm in front of his face to indicate he wasn’t going to serve Devalle, but Devalle hit it out of the way. The employee then punched Devalle in the face.
Devalle responded by reaching into the drive-through window and trying to pull the employee outside. As Devalle continued to pull, he tore off the employee’s shirt. Devalle took the shirt and sped away in a green Honda. The employee got the car’s license plate number and called police.
Deputies went to Devalle’s residence, 374 Burnt Pine Drive, and found him with the employee’s shirt in tow. Devalle gave substantially the same account as the McDonald’s employee, but kept repeating that he was punched in the face.
Devalle was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery because he was the aggressor, police said.

Yes, we can expect a trend, and yes we can expect a ripple effect that will eventually impact what many, many people pay for group health insurance.

LOL... I'm suprised this is the first I'm hearing about a fight in the McDs drive-thru, I would think tons of people would've snapped over onions on their burger by now

^ditto. I swear sometimes, people (not the employees) just have the most difficult time with drive-thrus! Drive-thus are meant to be fast...my personal opinion is if you have an issue go inside! I'm really surprised though that this is the first "fight" I've heard of through a drive-thru window!

I hated working fast food as my first job. Customers are grumpy when they are hungry. I remember be constantly harrassed by the customer and management would do nothing about it. Here I was 16 y/o and the customer looked to be about 36-40 always bringing her kids with her and picking on me specifically.

I'm not very surprised by this story.

The employee was wrong for punching him in the face, I'm surprised he sped away after that and didn't go inside.

Jahpson · Aug 7th, 2008, 10:20 AM

omg! what the hell is wrong with people today? leave the employees of the fast foods alone! They probably already don't like their jobs..lol

and I agree the employee had no right to punch first. You ALWAYS wait to get hit first, that way you have an excuse for retailiating. LMAO

dont follow my advice. stay in school kids. Learning is cool

How can buying a burger cause such a big fight? The world has really gone funny

lv-lover · Aug 7th, 2008, 02:51 PM

Oh my, what a temper. I would never get that aggressive over a burger.
