don't got da nuggetz, don't sell da nuggetz!
By my count, there are five stupid people associated with this story. Caller, cashier and the three supervisors who agreed with the cashier.
Sounds about right.

You know, the more I think about it, the thing is she did get robbed. You can't sell something and then try to give the customer something else after collecting the money. I wouldn't personally get the police involved, but I don't think it's completely unreasonable to do so... especially depending on what this woman's financial situation was. Sure she could have contacted the BBB, but that would have taken some time, and who knows if she even knew that was an option?
So given that she felt it was a police issue, she contacted the police in a way many people do in non-emergency situations... she called 911. How many people really know the number to their local police dept for non-emergencies? Anyway, two of the dispatchers apparently felt it was worth sending an officer.
Yeah the headline is very misleading. It's a lot less funny/outrageous once you read the whole article.
That is about what I was going to post. She basically had money stolen from her. She purchased something and they discovered that they did not have it. They should have given her money back to her- she does not have to accept a different item from the one she purchased. It OBVIOUSLY did not warrant a 911 call, but I have no problem with her contacting the police.
It's not an emergency situation. Ignorance of the police non-emergency phone number is not a good excuse to tie up the actual emergency line for something like this.
I think people should call the cops if they recieve McNuggets
The operators could have easily transfered her to the appropriate police contact. I don't like that she called three times, but maybe the officer promised in the first call didn't show up.
Thing is, there wouldn't be a thread about this if someone called 911 after being robbed of $5 on the street.
And anyone who has worked as a 911 operator feel free to correct me but I doubt anyone was having to be kept on hold while the operators dealt with this woman.
But the difference is that being robbed on the street involves an element of terrorist-like intimidation; and while I agree that Mc Donald's is terrifying it's not the same thing. You are correct that the dispatcher could have redirected the the call to the proper place.
Why are you dissing McDonalds, Mrs. M?
Eh, being robbed in a McDonald's involves an element of corporate strength and control over helpless consumers. Tomato, tomahto.But the difference is that being robbed on the street involves an element of terrorist-like intimidation
I'm going to grab me a 50 count bucket on the way home and God help them if they run out!!
Mc Donald's lost it's charm 3 kids agoWhy are you dissing McDonalds, Mrs. M?
No such thing here. Nobody is forced to buy from McD's.
This woman handed her money over to the clerk. The clerk did not jump over the counter and take the money out of her purse.
Are you really suggesting that retailers and restaurants should be able to offer something, take your money, then require that you accept something else without refund?
She was deceived into giving her money to McDonald's. That's robbery.
And I'd better got all my damn sauces!! Not not 8, not 9 but my full 10!!!
WTF? You get 10 sauces with 50 nuggets?
honestly, you have never heard of someone that has had to wait for a 911 operator after they dialed?
There is a reason that they fine you for needlessly dialing 911.

You could always treat me to McDonalds and reminice.
they actually have a chart on the drive thru window that tells you how many sauces you get based on the number of mcnugs you buy....WTF? You get 10 sauces with 50 nuggets?
I noticed it this morning.
