I would call asap, and apologizing for not showing up and for not notifying them that you weren't going to work that day. If they ask why, tell them, if they don't, don't tell them or else it'll look like you're just giving excuses and that's not a good quality to have.
But its not the end of the world though so I wouldn't stress over it too much.

if your manager is as nice as you say, just explain it to him or her. if you don't feel comfortable with that, i'd just say there was a family emergency or something. i hope that helped at least a littttttttle :]

explain to them what happend and talk to the person who took your shift and let them know you are really sorry. They should understand if its just your first time then they shouldnt be to hard on ya

tell him the truth. and if he dont understand or think its the truth then just let it go.

You have already got some good answers. I just wanted to add my voice to the columnists that said you should call right away.
Call them, apologise, and explain how this is a one off thing that will never happen again. If you are lucky you might get a second chance, but in all honesty you dont have the best odds. It is fortunate that you have been a stable employee thus far however, that may end up working for you.
It is seriously not a good idea to just show up on the day. The sooner you handle it the better your chances of still having a job.
Good luck.

I just want to add that the first two people [I'm not attacking them] are giving you a false hope.
Anyway...
Yes, it was wrong of you to not show, but probably even worse of you to not call. You already know this, but I thought I would reiterate because of the false hope you were given.
Call right now [as has been suggested], and obviously apologize, but not six thousand times. Once or twice is sufficient.
You can either explain the situation on the phone or the next time you're at work. I suggest you tell on the phone with your boss.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but you could lose your job because of this, but if you do, I hope you've learned a valuable lesson. If you don't, I still hope you learn that lesson.

I fully agree with YG. You need to pick up the phone and call RIGHT NOW and start explaining what's going on, if you want to keep your job.
No call, no show is BAD. If the situation ever arises again, you should at least do the right thing by calling and notifying them.
Others suggested you're being paranoid, not to worry, and even say nothing.
You are not being paranoid, you should worry, and you should explain to your manager why you didn't show, and apologize up and down.
Would they believe you? Why on earth wouldn't they? The people you work for are people just like you are, with lives outside of McDonald's. They know what it's like to have personal issues arise. They, too, put their pants on the same as you.
You can talk to your manager and explain privately without announcing it to every other person in the building.
But you better get in touch with them right now. I'm sure they have a stack of applications, and may possibly be looking through them for a new employee to fill your position.
What else do you expect them to do? No call, no show? For all they know, you'll never be back. You certainly haven't told them any different.
And, like YG said, someone had to give up their day off to cover your shift. Do the right thing and offer to cover one of theirs in return.

You need to call them RIGHT NOW with an
explanation. DO NOT wait 4 days until you
are scheduled to work again.
Regardless of what happened at home you
may not have a job to return to. You didn't
show for work. Someone else had to be called
in on their day off, someone had to work in
your place, maybe even the manager. Worse yet
they had to work short because nobody was able
to come in.
Having a job is a responsibility. When you
don't call and don't show it affects several
other people. The policy at most of the
places I have worked is that a no call, no
show is grounds for immediate termination.
Don't make the situation worse by just
ignoring it. Call them now with an
explanation if you want to keep the job.

Just tell the truth.
Everyone has personal problems, so they have no reason not to believe you.
Since you've shown up for the past 9 months and have been a good employee, I doubt they'll think too much about it and be glad to have you back! Stop worrying.

If your manager doesn't ask dont say anything, might worry him/her, but if it keeps going on just say you have some personal things to take care of and might have to take a few days off, nothing to worry about.:D good-luck just dont do it too much! you might get fired if you skip alot of days its bad.

Lol your just being paranoid
ofcourse they would beleive you
tell him you had a family problem and you couldnt get to work that day,its not a big deal you didnt let him down you just didnt show up its alrite and im sure he'll understand
even if he was a mean manager he wouldnt fire you.
