Furious woman misses out on McDonald's breakfast by minutes - so calls the police

A furious woman missed out on a McDonald's breakfast by a matter of minutes - and so called the police.

The woman was caught up in a queue at a drive-thru branch but didn't make the 11am cut off by the time she reached the front.

After staff refused to serve her a McMuffin meal, she called police in East Grinstead, West Sussex, complaining that it was “unfair”.

But officers were far from impressed and gave 'words of advice' about phoning them.

Mid Sussex Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Darren Taylor tweeted: "A call @11.30 this morning from an angry lady who stated that due to the queue at the McDonalds 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."

I love egg McMuffins. Pretty much the only thing I eat from McDonald’s.
