Pair toss coins, cones over wrong size fries

[October 09, 2009]  QUINCY, Mass. (AP) -- Police said a Boston man and woman, upset with getting an order of small french fries instead of large, were charged for throwing money and cones at McDonald's cashiers.

Christina Galipeau and Eugene Jackson pleaded not guilty Wednesday to assault charges in Quincy District Court.

According to police, Galipeau, 22, became enraged after getting the wrong size fries at a Quincy McDonald's. Police said Galipeau exchanged words with a cashier, then threw her spare change at her, hitting her in the face.

Police said 33-year-old Jackson then picked up a two-foot-tall cone from the mopped floor and later another plastic cone in the parking lot and hurled them at employees, cutting one employee's nose.

It was unclear whether Galipeau or Jackson have hired an attorney.
