Florida teen threatens to shoot up McDonald's over wrong order: PCSO

An 18-year-old apparently wasn't "lovin' it" when he received his McDonald's order, with Polk County deputies saying he called the fast food restaurant multiple times, threatening to shoot it up.

The backstory:

According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the manager of a McDonald's in the North Lakeland area received three phone calls from someone saying his order was messed up, and he was going to shoot up the restaurant.

Detectives tracked down Dayton Schaffer, 18, who they say admitted to making the calls because his $5 meal deal was wrong. The sheriff's office also says Schaffer claimed the threats were a joke.
