Onions on hamburger send Oregon man into ‘McFury’

/

Jayme John Leon after his arrest (Multnomah County Courthouse)The unexpected inclusion of onions on a hamburger sent one Oregon man into what police called a "McFury," which could not be alleviated even after he was offered a free replacement burger.

The Oregonian reports that Jayme John Leon, 50, reportedly threw a soda in a McDonald's manager's face and smashed a cash register over the dispute.

Leon walked into a local McDonald's on September 23 and ordered a quarter pounder burger without onions. But when he returned home, Leon discovered the burger was in fact topped with onions.

When he called the restaurant to complain, Leon was told he was entitled not only to a refund but a free replacement burger.

However, Leon reportedly ate the offending burger anyway but still showed up to the McDonald's demanding a refund and fresh burger.

"Since he ate the quarter pounder, McDonald's would not refund his money, sending Mr. Leon into a McFury," Sgt. Claudio Grandjean, Gresham Police spokesman, told the paper.

After tossing the drink and breaking the register, Leon then left the restaurant and headed back home.

He was intercepted by police and has been charged with first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree disorderly conduct, and harassment.

I don't know why, but the term "first-degree criminal mischief" is hilarious to me. First degree mischief!

1. When I see crazy little stories like this I think, 'All part of the plan.'

This was an extreme case, but the 1% want to keep the rest of us at each others' throats.

The more we struggle at the bottom over stupid little things, the more people like the Kochs smile.

Fiendishness worthy of a Bond villain.

2. McDonald's blew it...

He was a jerk - but it could have been avoided for less than $2

3. I feel that way when I find onions on my food, too.

But it's a whole lot easier just to return the item instead of busting up the place.

4. He's more like a first degree asshole.

If I get home and find they put something on my burger I didn't want, I'll just scrape it off and eat the burger.
Not that I would eat at McDonald's in the first place.

7. they are lucky they didn't ask him to pull up to the yellow line, even when nobody was behind him...

12. they do that here...

And do it because they are timed on order completion. Whiich means....when u pull up....the system assumes your transaction is complete. Not that you are waiting for who knows how long. You can call the number on your receipt and explain what they are doing......this is a big no no as far as 'corporate' is concerned.

8. If it was tomatoes, I'd tell him chill out & take 'em off. But onions? ONIONS?!??!! Fuck them!

Shit, just thinking about it I want to go out to an army surplus joint and buy me a howitzer and take out every Micky D's in town, and maybe a couple of Big Boys while I'm at it. GODDAMMIT I'VE HAD ENOUGH!! And this is Texas I'm in folks, don't think I couldn't buy me a couple of howitzers in a blind psychotic rage without a background check. Shit, the only thing stopping me is the fear that the cashier at the local Burger King might have a McUzi behind the counter and is poised to lay down some cover fire when I pull up in my Sherman.

Well armed society = Polite society, after all.
