Not 'lovin' it,' he shoots Mickey D's drive-through
A McDonald's drive-through was shot up early Sunday after a customer was angered that the restaurant had shifted from the lunch menu to the breakfast menu, police said.

The driver of a white Dodge Intrepid pulled into the drive-through at about 2 a.m. at McDonald's at 210 W. 500 South in Salt Lake City and ordered food from the lunch and dinner menu, police said.

When a clerk told her the restaurant was serving only items from the breakfast menu, the woman drove to the second window, police said. Two men got out of the car, and one pulled a sawed-off shotgun out of the trunk, police said. He fired once or twice into the drive-though window before the two men and the woman left on 500 South and turned north on 300 West, police said.

The Intrepid was last seen going west over the viaduct on 400 South. The shooter was described as Polynesian, 6 feet 1 inch tall, with long hair in a ponytail, a beanie cap and a white T-shirt, police said.

No one was injured in the shooting, police said. Officers did not know how many employees were in the restaurant at the time

9. That's a scene straight out of "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas..
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 04:04 PM by ddeclue


Welcome to Whammy Burgers...Douglas gets pissed at the assinine register girl and manager and shoots up the Whammy Burger (Their W is an upside down McArch... :) with the Uzi he took off the gang bangers.

:rofl:

I think that movie is destined for a comeback in today's economy. (Along with a few others from the early 90's when the economy was in the tank then too.)

:rofl:

16. McDonalds put me in that mood when they closed the breakfast menu while I was in line
It had been a very bad night. A horse was ill, I walked her all night until I could not longer feel my arms. We went to the walk-in clinic to find out that they could not help me except to give me one tab of a muscle relaxant that would knock me out. All I wanted was a quick breakfast, go home, take the pill, sleep until the next day and go to my regular doctor.

At McDs I got in line 15 minutes before their "deadline" and by the time I got to give my order they stopped serving breakfast. If I had had a gun, I might have shot someone; instead I walked out. That was the last time I entered McDs - over 20 years ago. Oddly, I have not missed them.

17. About 2 years ago, a 40 some year old woman working the late shift
window at a downtown McD's was shot and killed by several young guys in a car that had just pulled up, shot her, and drove off without a word.
She died, leaving a family.
The guys were convicted of murder, got life. It was just something they felt like doing.

23. I used to work at a fast food place
a couple actually back in college. Only one of the two was open for breakfast and I can say people do get batshit crazy pissed when they miss the breakfast menu. It's unbelievable.
