"This is 9-1-1, what's your McEmergency?"


Blame it on the recession?

On Tuesday, a Florida woman attempted to order Chicken McNuggets at a Fort Pierce, Florida McDonalds. After handing over her money, she was told the kitchen was exactly six pieces short of her six-piece order. The cashier instead offered the stunned woman, Latreasa Goodman, 27, a McDouble and a small fry. Goodman refused. But when she was told that it is McDonalds policy to not allow refunds, she, as they say, lost her freaking honey mustard sauce
and called 9-1-1.



Ladies and gentlemen, if you were not already aware, in Florida, among many other misuses of the number, it is actually a misdemenor "to use [9-1-1] in an effort to avoid any charge for service." Apparently, this happens a lot in Florida.

Latreasa Goodman cautioned per Sec. B-2 for maybe overreacting.
