Was the film called "Falling Down" with Michael Douglass ? Where he goes in to McD's lookalike and is refused breakfast at 1 minute past their cut-off time.
This happened to a colleague and I, we had worked all night and wanted our quick and easy brekky. Told they couldn't do it, we were about 20 mins out of time, my friend got very angry, to give the staff their due, we ordered alternatives, what I call "Botty burgers" coz most of it comes out of a cows arse, and they gave us a lot of the breakfast stuff as free extras ! They just could not put it through the till as breakfast.
A punch up was averted on that occasion, just, he was still fuming till the extras turned up.
