A man dressed in drag recently robbed a New Orleans Burger King at gun point. The man, dressed in a floral print dress and a wig, was caught on BK's security camera last week when he climbed, barefoot, into the restaurant through the drive-through window. He is seen holding a gun as a cashier gives him money from the cash register.

Reminiscent of the Y2K jitters that agitated the world at the change of the millenium eight years ago, a similar scenario is taking place in some gas stations across the country that still use mechanical pumps. Their gas pumps lack gears to register a sale beyond $3. 99 a gallon. Gas prices, however, have exceeded $4 a gallon.

Police in Jacksonville, Florida were called when a restaurant worker spotted a burglar who was trapped in an air vent while apparently trying to climb down. The suspect was found with his leg dangling from a slot directly above the restaurant's grill, which was smothered with hot oil. Upon seeing the hanging limb, Mandarin restaurant manager Richard Angers alerted the owner, Rana Escamilla, who called the authorities.

A man who found himself the winner of a Ł1. 3 million ($2. 6 million) lottery recently returned to his job at a local McDonald's after living a rich life, simply because he missed his co-workers. The man, 25-year old Luke Pittard, won the lottery with his girlfriend and co-worker, 29-year old Emma Cox, 18 months ago, leading Pittard to quit his job as the restaurant's staff trainer. However, he decided to return because of the fact that he simply loved his job.

Local authorities arrested three men who made an instructional video about how to "scam" fast food restaurants into giving free food. The three men, 32-year-old Robert Echeverria and 18-year-olds Ian Anthony Roman and Brian Fawcett reportedly made a home video, entitled "How To Scam Del Taco," where they show the process of making a Rialto Del Taco restaurant hand over free food - in this case, seven tacos, a large order of fries, two quesadillas with extra chicken, and two sodas.
