Woman Gets 10 Years for McDonald's Mayo Spat

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman was sentenced to 10 years in jail for running over the manager of a McDonald's with her car because she wanted mayonnaise on her cheeseburger.


Waynetta Nolan, 37, showed no emotion Thursday as the sentence was read in court following a trial in which the McDonald's manager, Sherry Jenkins, said she gave Nolan the mayonnaise she requested, but she flew into a rage anyway.


"I gave her everything she asked for -- mayonnaise, no mustard, onions, everything I could possibly do for this lady. Mayo, mayo, mayo, and it's still not good enough," Jenkins told reporters outside the courtroom.


Nolan, who was convicted of aggravated assault for the April 23 incident, became so angry when a McDonald's employee told her she could not get mayonnaise that she threw her cheeseburger into the drive-through the window, witnesses said.


Jenkins tried to placate her by offering a cheeseburger with mayonnaise, but Nolan continued to make demands until Jenkins finally called police.


When she went outside to write down Nolan's license plate number, Nolan ran her over, breaking her pelvis.


Nolan testified that she was putting ketchup on her cheeseburger when she accidentally struck Jenkins.

"I never intended to hit this lady. I (go) to this McDonald's all the time," Nolan said. "Never in my life would I dream -- this is the worst thing in the world. I was so scared."


"She'd seen me. She laughed when she ran me over," Jenkins said. "She'd seen me. There's nothing wrong with this lady, but she needs to go to a penitentiary."


Jenkins said she is unable to hold her grandchild after the disagreement over a $3.25 order.


Her family is scared to be around her since she was a target.


"They won't allow me to hold my grandbaby when she sees me. She screams and hollers because she (doesn't) know me," Jenkins said. "What she did to my life and my kids' life is horrible and I don't wish that on my worst enemy -- what she (did) to me."
