Have you ever had Chick-fil-A? You probably have. It’s pretty good, right? More than likely, you got a combo. You get the sammich or the nuggies, and it comes with the waffle fries and the beverage of your choice. If you really don’t care about your weight and want to splurge, you go ahead and add a mac & cheese cup as a side to your meal and side! The mac & cheese at CFA has been described as divine. The polyamorous marriage of elbow noodle and creamy cheese, all while being baked, and as a result of the baking, having a crispy canopy (the third lover) covering the cup like it’s protecting its firstborn.
The mac & cheese is highly recommended. And while it is totally deelish, it does break the bank. Google Genesis AI showed me that the median price goes as follows: small $4.00-$4.50, medium $7.00-$8.00, and a large can ring as high as $10.00!
Now that we have painted this picture of the mac & cheese. You will get a much better understanding of this crime caper out of Texas, as a now former Chick-fil-A employee was arrested for stealing $80,000 with a mac & cheese embezzlement scheme, police say.
So get this! The “modern-day Madoff” aka Keyshun Jones, got fired from the Chick-fil-A in Grapevine, a city outside of Dallas, last November. Authorities say he would repeatedly slip back into the store (how???), enter food orders on the register, and then refund them to his personal credit card.
Investigators began investigating the fraud after the restaurant reported hundreds of phony refunds. I mean, this redefines the term BRAZEN. Security camera footage showed Jones behind the counter carrying out the bogus transactions, prosecutors say.
Jones was taken into custody by the Texas Attorney General’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department on April 17th after allegedly ringing up 800 orders of mac and cheese, according to the outlet. HOLY F*CK!!!! 800 orders before you even caught this guy? Nooooo way!
Jones faces charges of property theft, money laundering, and evading arrest. He faces up to 10 years in state prison if convicted. The question on everybody’s mind is, do you think there will be mac & cheese served in prison when he is there? We can only hope so. Prisoners deserve some comfort food every now and then. But something does tell me that it won’t quite be the same quality as Chick-fil-A. And while that is a bummer. It is what it is.
