A man who was allegedly ripped off by a McDonalds in Clackmas, Oregon, was so angry at the drive-thru employees that he called 911 on them! Repeatedly!!! Jeremy Lloyd Martin cried to 911 operators that the employees at McDonalds overcharged him for a hamburger and fries! Granted, he says he paid $10 for the nomally $2 meal, but still! That's shiz you complain to a manager about, not 911!!! The dispatcher told Martin just that: "Sir, this is not a police matter," the 911 operator is heard saying on the tape of the call. "You need to take it up with the manager of the McDonald's." Martin was far from dropping the issue! He called 911 back and told the dispatcher, "This is a 911 emergency… I got robbed for eight dollars." The dispatcher replied: "Sir, 911 is life-and-death only. If you do continue calling 911 you will be arrested for misuse." But Martin wasn't giving up, no way! "Well, arrest me at (expletive) 82nd and Sunnyside Road… Please send a cop right now. I swear to God all my life…," he reportedly yelled at the operator. Dumbass! After the fact, the hamburglar-ee apparently still believes his situation was a honest-to-god emergency. Said Martin: "I was very upset that they tried to charge me for food I had already paid for." The McDonalds employee working the drive-thru that night made a 911 call herself: to complain of three men harassing her from outside of the fast food restaurant. Guess who we believe?!
Titling this thread "whats wrong with you people" implies that we are all like the idiot in the story. This is so going to end well.
Didn't using that phrase blow what tiny chance Ross Perot had of winning over the African-American community?
Hmm... this sounds like a localized version of something that happened a few months back. http://www.foodfacts.info/blog/2009/03/now-911-call-over-mcnuggets.html Or http://www.foodfacts.info/blog/2009/02/woman-calls-911-with-fast-food.html Or http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1375624/posts Or http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2009/05/aloha_man_calls_911_over_botch.html (Aloha-based) Or http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/burger.asp (that examines one from 2005) This happens all the time. People are fucking retarded. Ed O.
Over various jobs I have had people threaten to call police or report me/my store to the local news. Just this morning I had a lady tell me that our policy was against the law and that she has four different lawyers making a case against my employer. People are dumb.
