It's pretty fucking stupid on the employee's part not to offer a refund, but calling the police three times is a little out of hand -_- | ||

Goodman reportedly yelled, "I don't want a McDouble and small fry," "Goodman maintained the attitude ‘this is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency,’” the report states. | ||

McNuggets, introduced to the McDonald’s national menu in 1983, are sold in more than 100 countries and, unlike the McDouble, are often dunked in barbecue or hot mustard sauce. <genericnews:wikivomit name="<%= article.getNoun() %>" lines="2" /> | ||

"We want to correct our mistake. We will be sending the customer her refund, along with an invitation to return for her original order, on us. We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer. Customer satisfaction is our top priority." OMG she gets FREE MCNUGGETS for her trouble. Those McDonalds guys know what's goin' on. edit: as in, 1 free order of McNuggets, probably equivalent to ~$3 or $4. + Show Spoiler + But what if next time she goes there, and redeems her McNugget coupon, they take it and say it's expired? Anyway, this is hilarious. | ||

Also, now that she learns that McNuggets are not always available, she might want to call and check if McDonalds has McNuggets in the future. Even though this will never happen. | ||

Regarding this isolated incident, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. In the event that we are unable to fill an order, a customer should be offered the choice of a full refund or alternative menu items. We regret that in this instance, that wasn't the case. We want to correct our mistake. We will be sending the customer her refund, along with an Arch card for a complimentary meal on us. We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer. Customer satisfaction is our top priority." That's pretty good to know when they fuck my order up the next time. Seriously, how can they get it wrong almost 75% of the time? | ||

That is completed reasonable, but McDonalds fucked her instead. She had no other option but to call the police. | ||

You would be suing McDonalds for the incompetence of their employees, mishandling of the law, and whatever price she wants to put on the anger and mental anguish she faced from not getting her McNuggets. it's silly, but that's how it works in this country. when you give somebody money in a purchase, you're supposed to get that item. if you don't, you should get your money back. most of the time, people will accept some sort of substitution, but legally you aren't obligated to: if you pay for something you should get it. obviously this lady overreacted and there's no way you should call the police because of this, a lawsuit or just shrugging off the $5 and going home would have been a better option. by the way, what the fuck is a McDouble, I've never heard of that. | ||

I'm aware of all those, but I don't see the likelihood of that actually sticking in court. Here we employ either tort law or contract law. Tort law requires some damage done to do, and to that end you need to actually prove you've suffered as a result of the employee's negligence. Damage done to her would be in the form of the money (5$), the psychological damage, and the time she wasted trying to get her order. You can't sue someone for incompetence unless that incompetence damaged you in some way.Unless she had a psychology history to back her up, I don't think any judge will even buy her story of "mental anguish", and even then, the liability of the employee would be limited by the fact that it's not something they would expect beforehand. As for the time she spent trying to get her order: since she has time to call the police over mcnuggets I can safely say that the value of her time is limited. Now if we were looking from a contract law perspective, she would be suing for false advertising, but again I am not sure how much money one would actually get out of that because when you break a contract, the amount of payout is still proportional to the monetary value of the objects involved in the contract itself, i.e. the price of 10 McNuggets. You can't sue someone for millions of dollars just because they failed to satisfy a 5$ contract. Seriously, it's not like she was offered McDouble, then choked on the burger or something. THAT might actually lead to some seriously moolah. | ||

I think McDonalds was in the wrong though, lady didnt get her item, so just give her the money back, its not like it was $100 or anything. $5 is like penny change for McDonalds =/ | ||

Nobody in the world is as crass and obnoxious as Americans. Don't believe me, look at the "Bus Uncle" thing. Some old guy got a little upset on a bus in China and to the Chinese he was crazily flipping out. Then compare that with this, which is not even unusual for American public transportation Someone said earlier ITT and he got it right, Americans are children their whole lives.

I see a lot--A LOT of stupid fucking people here, very often. Just because it's cliche doesn't make it completely untrue either. When people say American's are fat. It's cause it's mostly true. It's not really a joke. I think the overweight/obesity rate here is 65%. The last place I worked at I was the only person who wasn't fat. In any case, it's good to have these kind of people in the world. What would I have to laugh at if they did not exist? | ||

Post of the day goes to Hawk! its funny that somebody is taking this seriously. Kennelie, Hawk was referring to the real life rambos thread and Tyranids posts about all the intense racism in teamliquid ( ).Anyways on topic, I think that it is just American culture and consumerism that causes a higher percentage of silly stories to come up. Maybe its just that more stories get made about American stupidities than other populances because everyone likes making fun of Americans. But i have to admit, this is extremely childish behavior and i think they need to increase education not in an academic sense, but in a social one. | ||

Your right, he is kind of flipping out too. My point is, in China that was a huge news story that prompted this national debate on stress and pressure for Chinese people. I don't know if you have ever had to use a lot of buses or subways, but soulja girl is not unusual and I am not exaggerating. Not the threatening part, that is not often, but in how loud and obnoxious and crazy she is acting, with total disregard for the other passengers. That kind of mentality is why people call 911 when they can't get a mcnuggets or a western burger. Reason why America has so many fat crazy retards? What a big question, I dont know. Has something to do with - the money spent on advertising and marketing is in the 400+billion range,and the money spent on schools and science is in the 40-50 billion. (per year) | ||
