Ooh, I have another one.
I was piss ass drunk in a Taco Bell. I ordered some combo meal, that was listed for a price lower than what I was charged. I immediately complained and the guy behind the counter got in my face about it, called me names, and was just a dick in general. There was a security guard there, and he started moving towards me, but being wasted I yelled 'Back off, this doesn't concern you' in my best threatening voice (back then, I was quite the asshole drunk). He sat right the fuck down.
I'm having no success getting my money back, so I decide that we're not staying, and tell my friends to pack up. A few of them are pretending they don't know me, which I find more enraging than anything the taco bell kid said, and immediately storm out the door.
Right into the waiting hands of the East Lansing PD. The officer was actually very polite, and asked me why I was so upset. I asked him to look at the sign, and tell me if I got ripped off. He politely refused (I'm sure he was very busy) but told me to keep my receipt, and come back when I was 'feeling better'. After that my friend Jay made his way outside, and started talking to the officer about the rough night I'd had (I'm sure he made up a lot of stuff). The officer took pity, and decided to let us go without a report.
That night, I called the taco bell hotline, and told her I was a Tri-Comm stockholder. The next day I went and had a chat with the manager, and showed her the sign and my receipt. A week later I got 3 coupons for 3 of anything at the store (which I used on taco pizzas), along with a letter of apology from her store, and a hand written apology from the offending clerk. I felt pretty vindicated after that.
