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 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

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.

All this did was make me hungry.

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

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

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 04-09-2009 09:41 PM
I wondered if that was the case. It's not brilliant satire, but it's pretty freakin' funny.
