Lady Calls 911 Over Critical McNuggets Shortage

A lady who attempted to order Chicken McNuggets at her local McDonald’s was shocked to discover they had run out, and felt she had no recourse but to summon police to the scene; with police already on the way assist her with this pressing crisis, she made three 911 calls, pleading for aid.
The dire straits she was in were summed up in her desperate 911 call, prompted by her failed attempt to order 10 McNuggets:
“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. This is an emergency.”
She apparently attempted to secure a refund, but the implacable corporate giant stood by its policy that “All sales are final”, leaving her no recourse but to summon the law.
The lady felt she could not accept the offer of an even larger portion of food in exchange for the payment, and the cashier reported that her stressful ordeal caused her to become irate, yelling “I don’t want a McDouble and small fry!”
She explained her difficult predicament later: “I called 911 because I couldn’t get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets.”
During the emergency she summoned police on no less than three occasions, and was informed that an officer was coming to assist each time.
The lady was later ticketed by police for abusing the 911 service. The report on the incident stated “Goodman maintained the attitude ‘this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.'”
Via the Sun-Sentinel.
Although clearly the prospect of running out of McNuggets may be uniquely pressing to some Americans, idiosyncratic “emergencies” reported to police and similar are a universal phenomenon; the Japanese equivalent is concern over one’s ice cream melting necessitating police intervention…

The police should have helped her to get her macnuggets =p
Police should throw her in jail for being a crazy bitch...
I 2nd that
I'm gong to have to 3rd this.
4th'd.
I 5th it. Maybe if she stressed about not having her McNuggets, she could've sweat off a few pounds.
Im neutral on this one, i cant remember if mac nuggets are any good...
icy, they taste only half edible. That said, they're cheap as hell...
Icy, they're a pastiche of processed chicken parts in a savory coating of deepfried and seasoned white death (but oh so tasty, ain't they?). ^_-
I can't eat 'em anymore, which is probably why I am losing the weight. That and not having those after-meals 2 liter bottles of Coca-cola to wash them down helps a lot also.
I say stop hating on the woman, she wanted her McNuggets damnit
lol, 6th'd, and wow...
8th'd*
Missed 7th... McDonald's is doing her a favor by not giving her those monstrosities of calories and fat!
6th'd
I have to 7th that
macbitch ain't gettin her macnuggets D:<
If you guys wants to listen on how she report to 911

Someone should tell her about the greatness of SUSHI!
On the other hand...not refunding the money for the woman after she didn't get what she wanted was a pretty big dick move on mcdonald's part...
"dick move" "mcdonalds"
Yeah, sounds about right.
not refunding crazy woman is a big "no! no!"
Rather, it's breach of contract. There was an implicit contract in place that the lady pays the money, and McDonalds gives her chicken nuggets. Refusing to refund her after they found they could not fulfill the contract is just not an option.
However, the lady here should have escalated the issue to management before becoming irate - I doubt the cashier has the authority to do a refund.
Of course, IANAL, etc.
It's also a load of bollocks, as they refunded my hindu friend when he bought a burger not knowing it was beef (yes he's an idiot).
If they didn't refund your Hindu friend, they would have been sued to oblivion. It's much easier to stand up against a crazy woman.
People in Britain generally don't sue at the drop of a hat.
No, they sue for no apparent reason in hopes of living off the Government for the rest of their god-damned lives.
It may be a policy of that particular franchise, or the cashier may have made it up altogether to avoid technical hassles.
Agreed, the customer is always right. Even if it doesn't make much sense.... =P
America.
No shit.
At a theme park, I saw a woman raise three or four alarms because her family was stuck on a roller coaster. Staff had to make their release a priority, and medics checked them all for "heart conditions". Naturally, none of the stuck riders knew which one of them was supposed to be suffering.
Whole thing would have been over in ten minutes instead of two hours, if not for the overreaction.
Elsewhere, a dozen or so people with legitimate problems probably wondered why they were dying without aid.
lol usa
I got hungru after reading this
U-S-A!! U-S-A!! U-S-A!!
USB!
U-S-B 2-.-0,
U-S-B 2-.-0!
I'm lovin' it
McDonald's actually apologized for this: http://consumerist.com/5163930/mcdonalds-apologizes-to-911-nugget-lady because they feel they contributed in escalating this issue.
She's still an idiot for calling 911 though.
Exactly.
Doesn't surprize me how some people are completely ignorant on how they should use some public utility services though...
Like it's not that hard to find some shitheads who seem to consider their "food emergencies" more important than someone else's life or other real emergencies.
I don't know...
If I went to Best Buy, and had paid for a Nintendo Wii, and they were out, so they tried to give me an XBox360 instead, because it's bigger. And they wouldn't give me my money back, I would probably call the police too.
Now, calling 911 three times is 3 times too many, but I'm going to blame the Golden Arches this time.
Perhaps, but it's a fundamental difference in how you buy at best buy as opposed to mcdonalds. You have the merchandise for sure before you pay at best buy, and you pay first at mcdonalds, partially cus you actually pay for the cooking service, not just the item.
Calling 911 over this is silly, she could just make it a point to the management that she will no longer eat at mcdonalds.
Nah, Domo is right, although the scale is much smaller. McDonald's owed her the nuggets. This woman was dumb by not finding out how to sue instead lol.
How do you always find such a relevant picture Artefact
Agree. Artefact's ability in this area is top notch.
The girl is eating burger from something that isn't mcdonald's....since the logo is a W...so she's eating from a nonexistent Wcdonald...and that is not relevant to Mcdonalds...
On the other hand, the girl's a cute little nugget.
its called copy right issues dumb shit
you seriously think that a well known artist would seriously just throw in a copy righted thing into his drawings?
Then again they put their trademarked "i'm lovin' it" slogan on there. :/
Khao, you're kidding right? Anon was obviously being sarcastic.
I think he was just fishing for a reason to post it.
I was hoping to see how many people would jump in while completely missing the sarcasm...which is just one...how dissapointing
The police helped her eat the non-existent nuggets.
McNuggets aren't even that great. The bitch should have taken the McDouble.
