Reminder: 911 Is For Emergencies ONLY
March 3, 2009
Leave it to the Floridians. Another one has called 911 for a food emergency (see SUBWAY LEAVES SAUCE OFF SANDWICH). Don’t get me wrong; I love my McNuggets as much as anyone else, but this is ridiculous.
MARCH 3–Angered that her local McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets, a Florida woman called 911 three times to report the fast food “emergency.” Latreasa Goodman, 27, last Saturday called police to complain that a cashier–citing a McDonald’s all sales are final policy–would not give her a refund. When cops responded to the restaurant, Goodman told them, “This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn’t have McNuggets, I wouldn’t have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don’t want one.” Goodman noted, “I called 911 because I couldn’t get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets,” according to the below Fort Pierce Police Department report.
What about the other side of the story? How crazy is the manager for not giving the lady her $4.00 bucks back? She wanted nuggets, you didn’t have them you shouldn’t have taken her money, give it back.
Yeah, that’s pretty effed up there McDonald’s. I’ve never heard of a more ridiculous policy. I would have been pissed off too, although I wouldn’t have called 911. I would have caused a scene until they gave me my damned money back.
Here’s an update:
