Police Say Man Rages Over French Fries

DuBOIS, Pa. - A Burger King customer berated the employees and nearly hit one of them with his truck after the clerk at the drive-thru window told him they were out of french fries, police said.

Gregg Luttman, 22, made an obscene gesture at the drive-thru clerk on New Year's Day, then walked into the restaurant and cursed at the staff, Sandy Township police Sgt. Rod Fairman said.

When he returned to his pickup truck, he saw restaurant workers taking down his license number and put the vehicle in reverse, nearly hitting one of them, Fairman said.

After being stopped on a highway a short distance away, Luttman scuffled with police and kicked out the back window of a police car, Fairman said.

Luttman was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and other offenses. He was freed Monday on $2,500 bail.

The onion rings are better at BK anyway. What a fucktard.

 

[Ghost]

If they were curly fries i could have understood, id kill for curly fries.

 

[MIMIC]

This guy could be the spokesman for the new Wendy's commercials.

 

[Ristamar]

Hah. I knew BK was putting some illegal addictive substance in those fries. Poor guy was going through withdrawal.

Fast food places can run out of fries?

I bet there was more than one pissed off customer that day. Though there was probably less ploice car kicking from the others.

 

[xsarien]

They were doing him a favor, Burger King's fries suck.

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

I'd go to Burger King just for the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake.

That's nothing. I was with my mother once at KFC and they said that they "ran out of chicken." 0_o

My mother replied, "Ran out of chicken..." in a "you KFC bastards GOTS to be muthafucking kidding me" sort of way. :lol

I've been to a Subway that ran out of bread. They were selling wraps and salads at a discount.

 

[LakeEarth]

Gas stations ran out of gas.

My innocence was lost when Domino's told me, early one evening, that they were "out" of medium pizzas. I asked them why they couldn't just make more but, ah...yeah, my naive youth.

More recently, the guy at the Wendy's drive-thru told me they only had lemonade, Diet Coke, and fruit punch. But without even flinching, they gave me a free super biggie (or whatever) upgrade on the fries, which was pretty damned cool of them. I split it with a friend.

 

[drohne]

i think this is the quintessential american story. really all it needs is one of those fish-shaped jesus stickers on the bumper of the pickup.

That happens quite often, I've found out. They don't ship dough, they ship pre-made crusts. Which is quite stupid

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

they ship pre-made crusts. Which is quite stupid :

Maybe that's similar to a situation I ran into at Pizza Hut. When ordering a pizza (imagine that) I was told that they were out of pepperoni - yet meat lovers was still available. Are there individual topping packages for say... 1 EACH PIZZA?

 

[LakeEarth]

Sometimes, all it takes is one missed delivery truck to turn a well maintained restaurant into a horror show. Imagine working at a coffee place and running out of cream... so annoying!

 

[WasabiKing]

someone was high on PCP

 

[Lemurnator]

I shall never forget the moment when I went to Arbys and they didn't have any roast beef.

 

[J2 Cool]

:lol

 

[ChrisReid]

Ugh, the McDonalds near where I work ran out of nuggets during McNugget Mania about a year ago. We were going to be doing inventory, and I really could've used the 40 piece set to keep my company all night.

 

[The Faceless Master]

i remember a local mcdonalds running out of big macs during the 99c big mac thing they had...

and BK's fries suck since they changed them a few years ago...

 

[xabre]

Yeah I went to a KFC once and they said they ran out of burger buns.

 

[gofreak]

What were they going to arrest him for before he started getting stupid with the police? Causing a scene? Getting angry?

Yeah, he "nearly" ran into one of the clerks. Stuff like that can get easily exaggerated...

I wasn't there, of course, but if the guy didn't cause any physical harm at the resturaunt..?

 

[human5892]

This kind of thing used to happen all the time at the McDonald's I worked at as a teenager.

I wish to hell that camera phones were around back then so I could've taken pictures of crazed toothless yokels pounding on the glass and flipping me off as I locked the door because we closed at 11AM ON FUCKING THANKSGIVING.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Are you really free if you can't even order your freedom fries? This man was clearly fighting for freedom, and is a patriot in every sense of the word.

Ah, the joys of fast food. I worked in a McDonald's once - horrid experience - and it was my last day there. This woman came in and ordered one of the meals, I give it to her and off she goes.

45 MINUTES LATER this woman comes back. Now, understand, this McDonald's was in a hospital (near the mental ward actually, lol) so our traffic wasn't very high so it was easy to remember people from earlier in the day.

Anyway, it's ben 45 MINUTES and this woman comes wailing into the restaurant - "These fries are cold, these fries are so damn cold I wouldn't feed them to my dog!!" Just yelling. I calmly take the fries - rather glad that it was my last day and that this job was never going on a resume anyway - notice that half of them have been eaten anyway and say, "Well, the dog obviously enjoyed them because most of them are gone, and it's been 45 minutes since you were here." She storms out, it was great. Aaaah, it would be great to have a "disposable" job like that again where I don't have to worry about being diplomatic.

Can I ask you something? I'm being completely serious here:

What in the holy hell is a McDonald's doing in a hospital? It's, like, Marty's Balloon and Thumbtack Hut.

McDonalds helps the hospital guarantee future business. I'm sure the relationship works well.

 

[teiresias]

You'll be surprised how many nurses and doctors actually ate (eat I guess, since it's still there) at the McDonald's because the hospital cafeteria food was just plain repulsive.
