Man Has Meltdown After Burger King Runs Out Of Fries
POSTED: 11:18 am EDT April 26, 2005

DuBOIS, Pa. --  Call it a case of french fry rage. A Burger King customer who insisted on having it his way has been sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Gregg Luttman is in jail after throwing a fit in the drive-through lane of a Burger King.

Authorities said the Pennsylvania man blew his top when told the fast-food joint was out of fries. According to police, Luttman made an obscene gesture at a drive-through clerk, berated Burger King workers and nearly hit an employee with his truck.

When police tried to arrest him, Luttman allegedly scuffled with an officer and kicked out the back window of a cruiser.

Luttman pleaded guilty to a number of charges stemming from the New Year's Day fry affair, including assault and resisting arrest and institutional vandalism. Luttman was also fined $150 and ordered to serve two years' probation for the confrontation on New Year's Day.

Ah, the American way, kill everyone because there's no disgusting fried chips.

Thanks to Floppydisk for this! Sorry it took so long...

I just don't understand people sometimes... Did the fries really mean that much to him?

[civilian_number_two]

I needs mah Freedom Fries! Y'all are terrorizin me!

[barend]

there's a man who likes his chips...

those damn punk kids, never do anything right.

Knowing the kind of shit American society can put people through I'm not surprised by this. Maybe the guy's day went like this:

Deemed unable to get welfare or foodstamps for not making enough money.

Job application rejected for being overqualified.

Kid expelled from school for writing about zombies, playing cops and robbers, or god knows what else.

And after all that he just decided that the next person who fucked with him was going to DIE!

[barend]

I've reached that point.

you can only absorb so much stress before it starts to damage you...
the best way to alleviate this is let the people who fuck with you have it...

and everytime i go to a fast food place people fuck it up...

i've worked in alot of different jobs... and i've done them all right...
what's the problem. it's a fucking fast food "resteraunt"... there is no point at which you should run out of fries...

granted, it was a managerial fuck up, and that's who should have copped it, but you just can't let that shit happen.

it's called fast food for a reason.... fries come with every meal, so you need to keep supplies in check. the manager should know if they have enough, or roughly how long their currant supply will last.

fuck buger king, i'm with the old guy.

if i have to do my job right, so does everyone else or society falls apart. and that chip shortage is a prime example and reminder of everything wrong with society.

Maybe it was some remarkable technological cockup beyond the control of the management; one of the storage freezers broke down, a lightning bolt struck the fries delivery truck, a truckoad of really fat guys came in just before and ate the entire supply.

You never know.

[barend]

a good manager would have seen it comming...

or put a sign up.

Ahhh... what you are ruling out here is the addictive properties of ubergreasy food. It's not so much shocking news but I'm surprised that we have seen more fast food fury.

Still - you do not attack the drive-through... it's sacrosanct.
May the God of Fast Food and Confectionery strike down he who violates this most sacred drive-through window and speaker-box.

[floppydisk]

Pfff... I should steal that speaker box and put one side of it in my room so I can call out to whoever's in the kitchen "make me a sandwich!"

[Laughlyn]

Such activities only lead to a swift evicition at the age of 16.

My friend tried to steal a Burger King tray once. He got caught, and I don't think they appreciated me riding down the slides on one either.

the McDonalds Drive through at Cremorne always, and i mean fucking always, leaves at least one item out EVERY DAMN TIME you order for three people...

I could understand if we listed the items individually, but when you ask for three 'value' meals and only get two sets of fries, something is seriously bloody wrong in employeeville.

so now we always do on the spot inspections before moving...

i have heaps of funny stories on the subject that would make you all take this physcho's side...

in fact fuck it here are 2...

1. went to KFC, after several visits where their fleshless wings were requested to not be included in my greasy box of fatty battered chunks of chicken carrion and constantly ignored, i decided one day to make it clear.
BAREND: "can you please make sure there are no wings in my 5 peice pack?"
DUMB-BITCH: "uh-huh"
BAREND: "Now, that's no wings"
DUMB-BITCH: "okay, just a moment"
*time passes*
DUMB-BITCH: "Here you go."
BAREND: "Now, you did make sure there were no wings in there."
DUMB-BITCH: "uh... yeah..., but i'll just double check."
*she turns around and removes 3 peices*

3 out of 5 is 60%. AFter asking for none, i got a majority. If this had been a fucking election, we'd be in chickenwing country!!!
[rest of story is pretty funny but requires too much typing]

2. take away store in Central train station. [please note i only kept having this roll because i wanted it right]
morning one:
breakfast roll asked for: Bacon, Egg, Sausage
breakfast roll recieved: Egg, Sausage
morning two:
breakfast roll asked for: Bacon, Egg, Sausage
breakfast roll recieved: Bacon, Sausage
morning three:
breakfast roll asked for: Bacon, Egg, Sausage
breakfast roll recieved: Bacon, Egg,
morning four:
breakfast roll asked for: Bacon, Egg, Sausage
breakfast roll recieved: Bacon, Egg, Sausage
and when this (the same) guy finnally get's it right he says: "Hey that's exactly what i have for breakfast every day."

i had the sam friend with me each day too, and we shared, about that, a look that words cannot describe...

Pfff... I should steal that speaker box and put one side of it in my room so I can call out to whoever's in the kitchen "make me a sandwich!"

*high five*

Hell - I don't have many bad memories of fast food places beyond drinks - on two separate occassions I asked for Sprite, on one I got soda water and on another I got mountain dew.
Mountain Dew.
The stuff looks like the froth that comes out of Frodo's mouth when Shelob poisons him and tastes more like Mountain Gorilla Urine than Mountain Dew.

[SimeSublime]

Mountain Dew is the best soft drink. How can you mock it?

In my life, I think I've had one mistake in a fast food order. Ever. Personally, I hate it when people yell at employees. Its generally not their fault that management deems it too expensive to train them properly, let alone give the a decent wage. Regardless of the fact that it's their job, theres little motivation to put in a lot of effort. But what annoys me more is when people who complain get what they want. That really annoys me. If the employee forgot to put some chips in your bag, you ask politely. If you start yelling at them, you don't deserve chips.

And why the hell did he want Hungry Jacks chips anyway? They are the lowest quality of fast food chips.
