webfact Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Woman gets 3-7-years for shooting over bacon-less burgerGRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan woman has been sentenced to three to seven years in prison for opening fire at a McDonald's restaurant after workers twice failed to put bacon on her burgers.Authorities say 30-year-old Shaneka Torres became angry in February 2014 when the first burger she ordered at the restaurant's drive-up station was missing bacon. She was offered a free meal, but bacon also wasn't added to a second burger order.Police say she fired a shot through the restaurant. No one was injured.A Kent County Circuit Court jury convicted her March 25. Judge Paul Sullivan on Tuesday sentenced her to one to five years for shooting at a building, plus two years for possessing a firearm during a felony.Torres says she's sorry "but it's over and done with."-- (c) Associated Press 2015-04-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnynmonic Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This article made me chuckle. Thanks, TV. I just envision the irate customer loudly demanding compensation for her missing bacon, and the guys working the sandwiches snickering and (this time on purpose) omitting the bacon from the unruly customer's burger. If I can play ThaiVisa CSI a bit, I suspect the whole "where's my bacon" bit was a ploy to get free food. My friends and I used to pull that kind of stuff when we were in jr. high. Though, I doubt the sandwich crew was laughing when shots were fired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have saved the state the cost of incarcerating her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) A menu is an implied contract. It says bacon. Gimme the bacon! Would you like some extra bacon on that burger? How about fries...would you like fries:? How big do you want those fries? Should I supersize the coke? Which toy does you kid want with that happy meal? Would you like that for here or to go? How about an apple pie? Is that gun loaded? Edited April 23, 2015 by slipperylobster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyrosman Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sorry dudes, put on the reading glasses, a WOMAN and check the name? You think she is a borne US citizen with a legal firearms license, she's probably an illegal immigrant. Besides bacon is expensive, so I would want in on my burger that I paid for haha! Go POSTAL!

Seems unlikely that a kid working a deep fryer would be packing, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have saved the state the cost of incarcerating her. Actually, if one has the permit he's still subject to the wishes of private property owners. His license is no good on someone else's property and that includes a business if the business/property owner prohibits it. Most employers prohibit it at work. The carry permit and open carry regulations don't trump private property rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the looks of her, the loss of her patronage at McDonald's could effect the bottom line enough to push a few franchises into bankruptcy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
