Woman Calls 911 After McDonald's Runs Out Of Nuggets
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A Fort Pierce woman called 911 three times to report an emergency after McDonald's had run out of McNuggets, according to a police report obtained Tuesday.

Latreasa Goodman, 27, was issued a written notice to appear in court for misusing the 911 emergency communications system.

According to the report, Goodman called 911 three times Saturday to report that a McDonald's employee wasn't giving her a refund for the chicken nuggets she wanted.

--snip--

"The manager just took my money and won't give me my money back, trying to make me get something off the menu that I don't want," Goodman said in one of the 911 calls. "I ordered chicken nuggets. They don't have chicken nuggets, and so I told her, 'Just give me my money back,' and she tells me I have to pick something else off the menu. She is not going to give me my money back, and she don't have the right to take my money."

2. on the other hand, she should have got a fucking refund
I feel sorry for the woman because she was absolutely right and utterly helpless. That makes people crazy.

3. The 'no refund' policy seems a bit strange
So if you buy a Big Mac Value Meal and there's a big McHair on it, your only compensation is that you can get another slightly less hirsute sandwich as a replacement? That's McBogus.

She shouldn't have called 911, because it sure as hell wasn't an emergency, but this particular McDonalds handled the situation very poorly.

4. Yeah, I think it was the 2nd and the 3rd call that got her in trouble
If the story is true as described, the McDonald's position sounds a lot like theft (or fraud, or whatever the legal term is)...

5. I'd call it breach of contract
She ordered and paid for nuggets. They don't deliver they have to refund. Her receipt is a contract.
