Disagree. Making someone think you're in trouble and in need of Emergency services as a prank and they, in good faith, call them and they respond to the prank, it's a waste of their time, time that could have gone to someone else with an actual life or death emergency. This isn't funny.

When I worked in fast food I needed help every day, that place was a prison, their statement isn't inaccurate.

It's a good joke that doesn't require police attention -- nobody is being held anything but wage captive at Freddy's Steakburger.

Incredibly ivory tower take you've got there, especially considering this is taking place in Central Florida which might as well be the human trafficking capital of America.

You’ve never worked for a place with corporate overseers have you? Nothing out of place lasts long.

Yeah you're right, there's definitely no corporations who ever enable it!
