Woman Attacks McDonald's Employee in McNugget Rage



Tuesday, August 10, 2010, by Paula Forbes


Sometimes, you really want some chicken nuggets. If you're this Toledo, Ohio woman, that time is 6 AM on New Year's Day — when McDonald's is only serving breakfast. After being told she would not be able to order chicken nuggets that early in the day, Melodi Dushane gets in an argument with an employee before punching her, attempting to climb through the drive-through window, and finally breaking the glass with a bottle before driving away. Police have just released the surveillance tape. It is unclear, however, whether or not she got the McNuggets.

1. Maybe the employee shoulda poured hot coffee on her.
Any jury in the world would buy self defense.

3. She got them confused with her MethNuggets.
That no McNuggest during breakfast thing always pissed me off too.
Chicken nuggets are an addictive drug. I hate McDonald's but sometimes I can't resist. I always feel guilty and depressed after the high wares off.

4. I like how the next car in line pulls right up as soon as she sped off.
I can imagine him at the window. "Uhhh...that was weird. So anyway, where's my tater tots?"

31. So...

Why are YOU making this a race issue?

7. She had to have been drunk. Being drunk that early in the morning even on New Years...
is inexcusable.

It is unclear, however, whether or not she got the McNuggets??? Is the writer crazy too? If McDonald's doesn't serve them til 11am then why the hell would she get them? The twit broke the window and then drove away.

They should require the twit to eat McNuggets for 24 hours without the sauce or anything to drink.

21. That would violate the constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment
in fact, after 60 days of wholesome (relatively speaking) prison chow, she might lose her taste for McNuggets. :puke:

9. Our justice system is insane
This women only serves 60 days. It is clear she is dangerously unstable and needs to be locked up and receive mental health care.

12. yeah, but she's a white woman, not a black male.
had it been a black male, the sentence would have been 5 years. but then, it would have been served by some other black male because they all look the same to law enforcement and juries.

33. If it had been ANY male, regardless of race, assault charges would have been filed.
Why the police declined to charge her with assault is beyond me. She got popped for vandalism - a property crime. Despite clearly assaulting the employee in the video.

37. She was drunk
She probably has a problem with alcohol, and needs to deal with that.

18. Crazy people out there. I'm in the service industry as well, though not McDonalds, see this kind of
attitude daily, no physical assault yet, but the rudest, foul-mouthed people I've ever seen. One day, and I feel it will be soon, I'm going to make one of them very sorry they ever stepped through my door.

20. It's a shame she couldn't get any McNuggets. She could
have used them for brains.

22. I hate the way stories like this are written
This woman attacks, punching in the face, an innocent employee who was only doing her job, and the author of this story quips at the end " no idea if the woman got her nuggets". Who gives a shit whether she got the damn nuggets. This woman could have seriously injured somebody, just because her sense of entitlement told her she should have some nuggets whenever she wants them. Fine then. Take your ass to the supermarket. Buy some frozen nuggets, and drop them in a skillet. Otherwise wait until they are on the menu.

28. Nugget ingredients: Chicken beaks, claws, brains, feet, sugar, and artificial chicken flavoring.
-I'm pretty sure those are the ingredients, anyway. Hardly worth throwing a fit over, you skank.

38. Not quite, but close

Personally I think we should be eating those parts, or at least using them in some productive manner, but even if they were premium chicken parts it was nothing worth getting red-assed over, as you say.

29. You want to blame media for something? Why is AP covering this shit?
This isn't even that good of a kicker, moron punches cashier... big deal. Yet, we love these little nuggets, AP knows they sell so they produce them instead of dedicating resources to real news.

34. Deranged lunatic
(Though I never understood why McDs couldn't serve lunch earlier if people wanted it. Especially when traveling at the airport. Time zone changes and all that might make you want a burger at 9 am!)

36. The morning after New Years
that is one night shift I would never work. I would volunteer for all the other holidays, just not that one. Made that mistake once.
