The recession is making people crazy!!

Ok, so I love McDonalds as much as the next man (or woman)...so I thought.  I've been trying to stay away from the fried, fat-filled goodness under the golden arches lately, but in these tough economic times, the dollar menu is tough to beat.

Now I know we have all had less than stellar service before at McDonalds, but I don't expect much from anything I pay less than $5 for. You get what you pay for right?

Not if you're Latreasa Goodman. The 27-year old Goodman made a stop at a McDonald's in Ft. Pierce FLA last week with her heart, mind, and stomach intent on demolishing a 10-piece McNugget...Latreasa, I'm with you here girl. Nothing is more rewarding than coming to Mickey D's with an empty stomach and 5 bones and leaving with a ton of food.

Things didn't work out the way Latreasa planned, and this is where the story gets wild.  After paying for the nugs, a cashier informed Goodman that the restaurant was out of nuggets and that a refund could not be offered as "all sales are final." The cashier instead offered to give her a larger portion of something else off of the menu comparable in price to what she paid for the nuggets.

Uh oh, wrong answer. Goodman, infuriated by this news called 911 3 times. Are you serious?? She called the cops because McDonalds wouldn't give her a refund for a 10 piece? What?

Now I agree, McDonalds should have given her a refund, and a McDonalds representative said the same, but that is no excuse for the way Goodman behaved.

The police cited Goodman for misuse of 911, and McDonalds has since mailed her a gift card for a free meal for her troubles. Geez.
