Raibin Osman Was Devastated At the Drive-thru
May 30, 2009 by FlamingFox
Aloha, OR- Every single day there are many, many phone calls placed to 911 from people in need of emergency assistance. Usually, the 911 dispatcher will ask first if the caller needs fire, medical, or police and, for most, it’s one of those three. I’m beginning to think they should add “McDonald’s Manager” to those three choices because we once again have another dumb-ass who placed a call to 911 about his food order being incorrect.
Raibin Osman
On Monday around 11:41 p.m., 20-year old Raibin Raof Osman called 911 to complain that a box of orange juice was left out of his drive-thru order at McDonalds. *gasp* Can you imagine the utter shock and devastation he must have felt when he realized he had just gotten screwed at the drive-thru? That never rarely almost always happens to me. “We ordered some food and we went home and our order wasn’t in there and my little brother is crying for his orange juice,” Osman told the dispatcher while he was sitting in his car at the drive-thru window. “We came back with our receipt and everything, and we said we don’t have our order, we paid for it, and she was like ‘Oh, no, I can’t do anything about it’ and she was laughing at my brother awhile ‘cuz he ordered the food and he couldn’t speak English right, and she’s not even showing up in the window now.”
Osman told the dispatcher the drive-thru attendant said she was going to call the police. “That’s why I called,” said Osman. “She was being rude.” Holy crap! Somebody call the National Guard. This drive-thru diva needs to be reprimanded immediately and someone needs to rip those golden arches from her uniform. After the dispatcher told Osman that officers would be there shortly, the McDonald’s employee called 9-1-1 to report that Osman and others who were with him were blocking the drive-thru lane, knocking on the restaurant windows and intimidating employees. She told the dispatcher that they were mad because they said she had given them the wrong food and they said she needed to give them more food.
When the police arrived, Osman refused to let to officers explain that 9-1-1 was not the number to call about incorrect fast food orders. They told Osman he could not use 9-1-1 for that reason and that it was not an emergency. Osman said he didn’t know how to get the non-emergency number. Osman must be nine cents short of a dime because the officers noticed that he had a Blackberry. I guess he never thought to dial 411, use the Internet on his Blackberry, or possibly find a payphone with a phonebook. Osman still argued that he had the legal right to call the police, it was his “freedom of speech” to do so, and he refused to listen to the officers when they told him otherwise. Osman was arrested for improper use of 911. The offense is a Class B misdemeanor punishable in Oregon by up to six months in jail and a fine of $2,500. Next time, Raibin, I hope you just bite the bullet and let the kid cry, or call the McDonald’s manager and explain the mishap. From my own experience, they usually have no problem with taking your name and giving you the forgotten item the next time you make it back to the restaurant. It’s a hell of a lot easier than doing time with a hefty fine.
