Show me the nuggets before showing the money

While my wonderful Girl Scouts are peddling their brand of crack cookies. Others are finding it hard to get their fix:

Woman Calls 911 After McDonald's Runs Out Of Nuggets
Fort Pierce Woman Cited For Misusing 911 Emergency Communications System


FORT PIERCE, Fla. - 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.

When police arrived, Goodman said she purchased a 10-piece chicken McNuggets meal, received her change and then was told McDonald's had run out of McNuggets. Goodman said she tried to get a refund, but the cashier told her it was against store policy and that all sales are final.
"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."


According to the report, after police told Goodman the incident was not an emergency, Goodman replied, "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."

Goodman told WPBF News 25 that she didn't "have a right to jump across the counter and snatch" the money, so she chose to handle it another way. Goodman said it wasn't so much about the nuggets as it was the money. "When you feel that you've been mistreated or misused or robbed out of your money, you have the right to call 911," Goodman said. "That's the purpose of 911, so I thought."

Goodman said she'll continue to go to McDonald's, but she also said she'd order with a little more caution next time. "I'm not going and just giving up my money like that, no, but I'm going to ask them would they please check and see if they have what I want on the menu, and if they tell me yes, then I will order," she said.

This is why my cop husband will never be out of a job..

  1. LOL people crack me up. Now I would be a little pissed if you told me you were out and wouldn't be giving my money back. When in HS I worked at McD's and we would give refunds. And I have been given one not too long ago when they didn't have choc. milk for Cole. I think the cashier was new a made up a white lie not to have a manager come over and open the till. Still that women is nuts you ask for a manager and when that doesn't work you call corporate. Ding dong!

    You crack me up you posted this I just commented not even 2 secs ago on another blog that posted this same thing! LOL

  5. If that's not an emergency, I don't know what is!

    Stupid to call 911, no question about that. But pretty f'n insane that they wouldn't refund her money.
