Batten threatened the staff at a Yate branch in England, only to be told that they were serving just breakfast, so he took a double-sausage McMuffin and fled with some cash.
The 22-year old entered a guilty plea on two counts of robbery, two counts of possession of an imitation firearm and intent to commit an offence as well as one count of knife possession in a public place.
