Man Goes Ballistic After Burger King Runs Out Of Fries

[matcom]

<snip>

While many Pennsylvanians began the new year with the traditional meal of pork and sauerkraut, Gregg Luttman, 22, of DuBois in Clearfield County, started with a hankerin' for fast food.

And you know what they say: Have it your way.

Luttman and a couple of friends piled into his truck and headed for a Burger King restaurant in Sandy Township, about 5 p.m. Saturday.

Evidently, their resolution about eating better was short-lived. But what chance does a resolution have against a flame-broiled Whopper?

The trouble was that this particular Burger King was out of French fries. (It's OK to call them that again, isn't it?)

Now, usually, a fast-food restaurant running out of French fries is shocking enough. How we wish Luttman had simply gone to a telephone and called the news media.

Luttman, however, was too angry to do that. According to the Courier-Express in DuBois, he pulled up to the next window (which you're supposed to do) and became belligerent with the fry-less restaurant worker (which you aren't supposed to do). He then made an obscene gesture and began to pull away.

2. Hilarious. I watched a guy freak out at a Taco Bell once...

when he didn't get his fiesta salsa. Geez people, get a hobby or something!

3. LOL! Thanks.

But Burger King fries are really good ... their hash brown nuggets are even better ... not that I ever eat any of that bad food.

4. Their fries are the best. McDonald's are too soggy.

8. Soggy?

I can't remember having 'soggy' McDonalds fries.

I suggest another McDonalds...

5. He should lose his driver's license

At least until he completes an Anger Management class.

6. For as little as I go to fast food places

I seem to encounter an awful lot of broken milkshake machines - then I'm like darn that hamburger just isn't going to taste as good with a coke instead of a milkshake.

7. Last spring, I had a hankering for a Shamrock shake.

I went to McDonald's and ordered one. It was entirely liquid. It was completely runny.

I brought it back to the counter, and the girl told me they'd all been the same that day. "It's just how they are," she said with a shrug of her shoulders.

I asked to see a manager, who told me the same thing. "You don't want it?" she said. Um, no. You advertise "triple thick shakes", but I'd settle for single thick!

After she refunded my money, I suggested she have the shake machine checked out, as it was clearly not working. She shook her head at me, apparently thinking I was some kind of unreasonable idiot.

9. What a dumbass!

Hope he gets some jail time-attempted murder should be treated seriously. Those poor restaurant employees work in horrible conditions under generally uncaring management for pathetic wages. They deserve better than some loudmouth no-neck jerkwad cursing them and trying to run them down because management ran out of fries.
