A man in Georgia decided to call 9-1-1 after not receiving everything he ordered during a recent trip to his local McDonalds. His plan backfired, however, when he was the one who ended up behind bars. The customer tells WALB-TV that hed placed a sizable order at the Golden Arches 7 McDoubles, 1 McChicken, and 1 order of fries. I left out the store without checking it, but when I got to my truck and I got ready to leave I looked in my bag and come to find out I had six McDoubles, he recalls. When he went back into the eatery, he claims the employee he spoke to was trying to get an attitude with me, so didnt just threaten to call the cops, he actually dialed those three digits that are intended for us in emergency situations. I called the police and thinking that everything all cool by calling the police, he says. I didnt know I was misusing 9-1-1.

When my sons were young, it seemed like my youngest son always got shorted at drive thrus. We would invariably be missing all or part of his order. It was kind of funny, but he didn’t understand that they had no idea what part of the family’s order was his and that nobody was intentionally doing this to him.
One day I had both boys in my SUV and ordered a McDonalds meal for the three of us in handed the bag to my older son and told him to make sure his brother’s food was accounted for. He checked, and the lad’s fish sandwich was in there.
About a mile down the road I heard an indignant cry form my boy, “HEY! There’s no fish in my fish sandwich!”
There was only tarter sauce on the bun.
The feds can make pretty much anything they want into a criminal prosecution. I suppose you’ve never heard of wire fraud. They can stretch that one pretty far.
Six burgers instead of seven. Federal case. Wire fraud. Riiiiight.
