Woman calls police after arriving too late for McDonald's drive-thru breakfast

An angry McDonald’s customer called the police after missing out on breakfast when she got stuck in a drive-thru queue.

The woman was left fuming when she arrived at the window minutes after the 11am cut-off, to find out breakfast was no longer being served at the branch in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

She called the police around 11.30 to complain how it was ‘unfair’ that staff had refused to serve her a McMuffin meal.

But unimpressed officers weren’t having any of it, and warned her it was ‘not a police matter’.

Mid Sussex Neighbourhood Policing Inspector, Darren Taylor, revealed the incident on Twitter on Thursday.

He said: ‘A call @11.30 this morning from an angry lady who stated due to the queue at the McDonald’s drive-thru in EG, by the time she got to the window the breakfast service had stopped and she couldn’t order a breakfast.

‘The lady was given words of advice about ringing the police.’

Inspector Taylor told The Sun: ‘She wanted us to speak to McDonald’s about the situation as she felt it was unfair.

‘We kindly informed her this was an incident which she should take up with McDonald’s and was not a police matter and that we would not be investigating her complaint.’

Twitter users branded the unnamed woman a ‘McMuppet’ for her behaviour, with one calling for police to give her a ‘good frying’ while another suggested a call should have been made to ‘Special Brunch’.

But sadly it’s not the first time a McDonald’s customer has massively overrated and lashed out at staff.

An ‘enraged’ customer attacked an epileptic teenage server at a branch in Wisconsin, USA, for taking too long to cook her bacon.

Another fast food fan shot three staff members at a McDonald’s in Oklahoma after being told the seating area was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
