Fast food crime?

Today's post is a result of my observation that there are several stories on Google News today that involve fast food and crimes.

This is a couple weeks old, but a paper in the Miami area took a look at 911 calls in the county and what types of "emergencies" people falsely call in.

A quote from the story:

The fast food offenses are usually the most common and often the most annoying because people think it's really an emergency worthy of 911, one operator said.

"Screaming in my ear, 'I wanted the sausage, and he gave me the burrito!'" April McGill recalls from one call. "She's trying to force me to eat something off the menu that I don't want!"

In more serious stories, a woman in Boston was shot  outside of a fried chicken restaurant this week and police shot and killed a man who they say wounded his wife outside of a fast food restaurant.

I suppose crimes of all kinds happen in all sorts of places, but it really seems odd that people would choose a fast food place to attack someone. Thoughts?
