A Woman Calls 911 Over the Lack of Shrimp in Her Fried Rice
By Jennifer 8. Lee | April 7, 2009
The Associated Press ran a story about a 911 call from a woman who complained about her fried rice at a local Chinese restaurant. (This came to me via @weirdnews on Twitter)
I’m sure there are fair use issues, but I can’t help but quote it in full.
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 says: “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 say the woman had been denied a refund after leaving with her order, then returning to complain.
Cook June Lee says nothing was wrong with the meal, and that “some customers are happy. Some are not.”
