Latreasa Goodman had an emergency. A food emergency: her local McDonald's ran out of Chicken McNugget, so naturally she called 911!
Told McDonald’s was out of Chicken McNuggets after paying for a 10-piece meal, a local woman called 911.
Three times.
“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,” Latreasa L. Goodman told police. “This is an emergency.”
The McNugget meltdown happened last week at a McDonald’s in the 600 block of North U.S. 1 and ended with Goodman, 27, getting a notice to appear in court on a misuse of 911 charge, according to a recently released police report.
Goodman told investigators she tried to get a refund for the 10-piece McNuggets, but the cashier told her all sales are final.
“I called 911 because I couldn’t get a refund, and I wanted my McNuggets,” Goodman told police.
The world is filled with winners.
As I understand it, she ordered McNuggets, paid for the McNuggets, *then* was told they didn't have McNuggets. She asked for her money back and the cashier refused. That's theft.
As for calling 911, you have to understand that a lot of places no longer have a local police number. Where I live, I have to call 911 if I want to reach the police at all. I can't say the same about where this woman lives, but it's a definite possibility.
Incidentally, McDonald's has already apologized for this:

Also, I wonder how they get the chips to jump out of the box in all the pictures?
I'm hungry now
what kind of customer service is this?
(And for the record - Wendy's has much better nuggets.)
What are stupid Americans going to do when they can't get any food they order. (Hint, don't call 911)
While I don't think the McNuggest issued merited a 911 call, there is some twisted logic to it.
*(If the fine won't be large enough to pay for the court case then charging this woman is the equivalent of phoning 911 over petty larceny.)
i hope that when that woman is having a heart attack or is being chased by a murderer, the 911 line will be busy.
absolutely disgusting..
Mmmmm heart failure
Only at McDeaths :)
