Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
SHE GOT CITED. She did NOT get out of this unpunished.
Did you even read the article? Can you even read? Are your responses just fits of perplexing whimsy? She is being fined for abuse of the system. That does not mean that she was not wronged by a major corporation. Dialing the 911 line is uncalled for but she is being punished for that. But you do not seem to understand that she did not call because they were out of McNuggets. She called because THEY CHEATED HER OUT OF HER MONEY AND REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK. That is JAILABLE.

In fact, my family went back there during summer of '05 and we got more than our fair share of nostalgia. The sundial in front of my old high school, the Firstar fireworks on my birthday (July 3), downing Sprecher root beer floats, driving by our old house, going to the art museum...that was the best vacation ever. (And to this day, we still buy our spices online from Penzey's.) *ahem* Getting back on topic, I read about this on another forum, but I take the point of view that we're all idiots sometimes. It's simply impossible to be on top of your mental game 24/7. Still, she might have a point in that the bait-and-switch is generally illegal, but calling three times in a row is clear evidence that she does not understand the purpose of the 911 line. <_< |

I'm saying she did something wrong and got punished for it. And I never argued that McDonald's screwed her over. I was simply saying that since they wronged her, it was her responsibility to call a non-emergency police number and report it instead of abusing the emergency system with something that was not an emergency. Man, you know this is serious when we start using CAPITALS, bold font, and italics. ;P Quote:

Heaven forbid I use emphasis to help illustrate my point. We can't all be wordsmiths like you.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
No, theft isn't an emergency, apparently.
So, Organism, when you give me your money, you can just file a complaint with the BBB and wait a few months for them to finally come around.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
Guys, you're being retarded.
Obviously she misused the line and shouldn't have done that. Obviously McDonalds was out of line by not giving her back her money and forcing her to buy something else. Stop debating useless semantics when it's clear you guys both understand this. Mal: It doesn't matter -- you don't call 911 when someone is jacking your money in a transaction.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
Not all criminal acts are emergencies. Is it really that hard to understand? You all act like it's some sort of conspiracy. That's the law and it's perfectly understandable. She got punished for her stupidity in calling the wrong number, and McDonald's did its part to make things right, which it likely would have done if she'd talked to a manager.

Also, Mal, as to the bolds and italics, I was trying to lighten things up because I'm not interested in a needless shouting match with a poster I rather like. So, end of discussion. I'm bowing out.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
If she didn't have the non-emergency number and no one gave it to her, then who should she call?
It was a stupid mistake, but it was just a mistake.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
Tommy's is pretty good. They put chilli on everything they serve there.
Fat burger is amazing though. They put like a relish or sauce or something on their burgers, and it makes them taste like sex. I'd have to agree that In N' Out is probably the best though. I want a mannnn with a FATBURGER in his hand. |

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
It's illogical to think that just because I am calling 911 that someone else is being stabbed and denied a line. Logistics say, there is another line open.
It is not illogical to create a situation with greater monetary values and different items at stake to parallel the aforementioned situation and put it in terms where it actually could mean a little more.

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
As I said in an earlier post, she should call 411. If she could dial 911, she can dial directory assistance (a very basic function of phones) and have them give her the appropriate number. And if that wouldn't have worked, I don't have a problem with her causing a fuss and making McDonald's fix their garbage so their PR doesn't get out of hand, but she didn't need to call 911 to do that.
Also, the law does tend to change with respect to the magnitude of a crime. Seriously, what are you arguing?

Re: Serious emergency causes woman to call 911 three times
I was trying to find the Fatburger commercial that had the italicized line that I wrote in my prior post, but was unsuccessful.
Here is just a general commercial if you are curious what they are about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8nX0kyn6qI |
