McNuggets shortage causes woman to call 911 [audio/photo]
A McNuggets “Emergency”
Floridian called 911 three times over McDonald’s chicken shortage
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. [To listen to Goodman's 911 calls, click here, here, and here.] 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. That logic, however, did not keep cops from citing Goodman for misusing the 911 system. Even after being issued a misdemeanor citation, Goodman contended, “this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency.” The McDonald’s devotee is seen at right in a mug shot snapped after a previous encounter with police. Last month, a Florida man was arrested after he called 911 to complain about his displeasure with a Burger King combo meal. (2 pages)

To her defense, being a former McDonald’s employee, I can tell you that if a customer does not want to purchase an item, the cashier has no choice but to refund the customers money which was the lady’s true argument not that there wasn’t any McNuggets to purchase. The person behind the cashier register was probably not the manager who should have dealt with this problem properly, but just a regular employee who does not know how to void a purchase and refund a customers money.
