Woman Denied Refund After Leaving With Order

HALTOM CITY, Texas -- A woman called 911 to report she didn't get as much shrimp as she wanted in her fried rice at a Texas restaurant.

Haltom City police on Tuesday released the taped emergency call, in which the customer is heard telling the dispatcher "to get a police officer up here, what has to happen?"

The customer also said: "He didn't even put extra shrimp in there."

The upset customer had left the Fort Worth-area restaurant when an officer arrived Monday afternoon.

Restaurant workers said the woman had been denied a refund after leaving with her order, then returning to complain.

Cook June Lee said nothing was wrong with the meal, and that "some customers are happy. Some are not."


If you go to the link, there is audio of the call. All I can think is, "WTF?"

Oh snap, why didn't I think of posting this here? :lol: I read it Tuesday whilst browsing a local news site.

Seriously, that's insane, though.

That's worse than a call I heard played on the radio: some chick called 911 to find out the name of the cute cop who reported to her home for some sort of emergency (can't remember the details, it's been a while). People are seriously f****d in the head if they think this is acceptable. Meanwhile, someone with a REAL EMERGENCY could probably use some help. :roll:

I remember hearing about that one too... several times in fact. I think one time it was a fireman, too.

I called the cops last time I ate at Taco Bell. I mean I said NO TOMATOES DAMMIT!!

I wonder if she's related to those folks in Florida who called 911 cuz Burger King and MacDonalds didn't have any chicken nuggets or their fave drink. :P

[Jester]

Here's a novel concept, GET THE HECK OVER YOURSELF!! Seriously, our Taco Bell here has discontinued the spicy chicken used for the Crunch Wrap Supreme, and I just ordered a freakin' Chalupa. It's not an emergency, it's an inconvenience.

People get dumber by the day and this is a testament to that. Morons like this just want attention. She deserves to fall off a cliff.

Spitfire, have you seen the Mike Judge film Idiocracy? Everytime I see stories like this it becomes more and more prophetic.

[XERO]

All this did was make me hungry.

Wasn't this an episode in "Curb your enthusiasm"? :)

I ordered a galaxy of prawns. THREE prawns is hardly a galaxy!

If you don't get the food you want, are you going to call 911 too? :lol:

I just watched the trailer, a rental might ensue now thanks.

I just watched the trailer, a rental might ensue not thanks.
Say what now?

[GK Punk]

I also reccomend that film, Spit. It's great.

[XERO]

Only if they have donuts.:P

[Spitfire]

Say what now?

I thanked you for the idea to look into that film. But my brain getting ahead of my fingers, as usual, caused me to make a typo.

[Jester]

I wondered if that was the case. It's not brilliant satire, but it's pretty freakin' funny.

[Andrew NDB]

That woman is retarded for calling the cops. Anyone who knows anything should have punched the guy across the counter in the teeth if they stiff you on your ****ing shrimp.

[XERO]

So, I'm guessing she didn't leave a tip...

Ahh... I was thinking the exact same thing when I read this title. Good ol' Idiocracy.

Once upon a time I would probably angrily rant about how dumb people are getting, but this... This is just sad.

I think the worst thing is that I'm not even phased in the slightest about it.

Just as sad as the case with the Kellogg's pop tarts, woman couldn't keep her kids from shooting their hands out of the cart to grab pop tarts and uses the child obesity problem as part of her case which is just bad parenting.

This kind of reminded of Pink's song where she sing she want to start a fight. Maybe she wanted to do the same "start a fight". 911.? Isn't a serious offense calling 911 for anything else than when people's lifes are at stake?

lets call 911 and order some pizza:lol:

Haltom City has to be the most ghetto city I've ever had the displeasure of driving through. I travel a lot for work so I have been sent there several times. I'll never go there again. The majority of people there just dump their garbage outside. Yes piles of it! The wind creates twisters of trash everywhere... :x If I could cause a biohazard outbreak anywhere in the world (ala Raccoon City), I'd choose this city. :) A friend of mine is a waitress for several of the restaurants in that area and she had told me so many horror stories.
