(CBS/AP) DOVER, Pa. - A Pennsylvania man who didn't have it his way is charged with assault for an allegedly violent tantrum because his McDonald's hamburger came with cheese.

Would you like fries with that?

Police in York County say 35-year-old Sean Varone knocked over a trash can, threw a high chair and assaulted an employee at a Springettsbury Township McDonald's on Nov. 30., the York Dispatch reported.    

The newspaper reports that Varone, of Dover Township, is also accused of grabbing an employee's cellphone as she tried to call 911 and chucking it across the parking lot before fleeing.

According to the paper, Varone is charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief.
