Police Respond to McDonald's Szechuan Sauce Shortages for 'Rick and Morty' Fans
Rick and Morty is getting the kind of publicity the showrunners never wanted, as the season 3 [...]
Palm Beach Police
In Wellington, Palm Beach, Florida, police had to be called to a local McDonald's, after fans got real angry with the restaurant for never actually delivering the promised Szechuan sauce.
My Palm Beach Post spoke to fans on the scene, and got the following responses:
"I'm upset," said Matthew Jones, 25, of West Palm Beach. Jones waited two hours in line before being told by managers that the restaurant never had any sauce to offer, he said.
"I asked when I got here and they said they had the sauce," Jones said. "And they made us buy something and wait."

When the McDonald's revealed around 2:30 pm that they didn't actually have the sauce, two sheriff's deputies were called in to disperse the crowd. The deputies wouldn't reveal who exactly called them, and McDonald's managers declined to comment.
Some fans on site were blunt about what happened. Here's what fifteen-year-old Kurt Nolan had to say:
"It's a scam. They made us buy food and made us believe they had the sauce."
