Former Texas Employee Accused in $80K Chick-fil-A Fraud

A former Texas Chick-fil-A employee is accused of stealing $80,000 in what is being described as a mac-n-cheese fraud. According to NBCDFW, the Grapevine Police Department say that a former employee of the fast-food restaurant rang up 800 orders of mac and cheese and then refunded the total which was $80,000 to his own personal credit card.

How the $80K Fraud Scheme Allegedly Worked

The incident took place in November 2025 when the suspect Keyshun Jones was recorded on surveillance video standing behind the counter at the restaurant he used to work at. But this was a major red flag seeing as how he had been terminated from the restaurant just a month prior.

Police say Jones then allegedly used the restaurant’s register to ring up the 800 orders of mac and cheese and then refunded them to his own personal credit card.

Authorities did confirm the total refund was just over $80,000.
