Former Chick-fil-A Employee Charged in $80,000 Mac-and-Cheese Fraud Scheme Texas authorities have charged a former Chick-fil-A employee with orchestrating a fraudulent scheme that allegedly defrauded the fast-food chain of $80,000 by exploiting its point-of-sale system. The accused, identified as 23-year-old Keyshun Jones, is accused of returning to a Chick-fil-A location after being fired a month prior and using the restaurant’s register to process unauthorized refunds for hundreds of large trays of mac-and-cheese. The scheme reportedly involved refunding the full cost of the orders—each priced at around $100—to his personal credit cards, totaling an estimated $80,000 in illicit gains. According to the Grapevine Police Department, Jones was arrested on April 17 after a joint operation by the Texas attorney general’s Fugitive Task Force and the Fort Worth Police Department. The department stated that officers had attempted to apprehend him multiple times before the successful arrest. Jones is currently in custody at the Green Bay prison in Fort Worth, Texas. His lawyer, however, declined to comment when approached by the New York Times. Surveillance footage obtained by the Chick-fil-A store appears to show Jones returning to the location in a brown puffer vest, blue jeans, and a backwards white cap—distinct from the chain’s standard red polo uniform. The footage captures him accessing the register behind the service counter, where he allegedly processed the refunds. Police allege that he used the restaurant’s point-of-sale system to issue refunds to his personal accounts, though the exact method of bypassing security measures remains unclear.#chickfila #keyshun_jones #grapevine_police_department #fort_worth_police_department #texas_attorney_generals_fugitive_task_force
