Unhinged Woman Insists On A Free Meal At A Restaurant, And When She Doesn’t Get Her Way, She Assaults A Hostess

Have you ever seen a customer go too far with their actions?

Imagine getting so angry when things don’t go your way that you make a choice that ruins your life.

That’s what one employee witnessed when an angry woman entered the restaurant he worked at.

Keep reading for all the details.

Good, you do that.

My story requires a little bit of a prelude to know how things work in the restaurant I work at.

I work at a Mongolian grill, all-you-can-eat buffet. There is a huge buffet of raw vegetables, meats, and sauces.

You throw what you want in a bowl and bring it up to the grill. We fit about 14 meals on the grill at a time, and everyone stands in line waiting for their meal to be cooked.

When it is almost done, we go to the first meal on the grill and offer teriyaki to the first person in line, and then the second, and so on.

Not everyone understands the logic.

Fairly regularly, people decide not to stand in line, and then fail to correct us if we are pointing at a meal that doesn’t belong to them and ask if they want teriyaki on said meal.

So, mistakes happen. Enter Mega-*****.

MB is here with her family. All their meals are on the grill, but she does not stay in order [and] switches with her son. Her son wants teriyaki; she does not.

But, being switched, she gets it.

But this customer is relentless.

She points out the mistake, and the cook (fortunately, I was not cooking at this time, while normally I would be) apologizes profusely and offers her another bowl.

She refuses the bowl and proceeds to curse about what a moron he is, doing so loudly so the whole restaurant can hear.

She refuses to eat, although her family sits down to eat.

Oh, and it doesn’t end there.

She complains loudly the entire meal.

When they go to pay, she complains to the hostess, [who offers] to comp their drinks. The woman demanded that their food be free because of the terrible service they received.

The hostess tells her, “The cook offered you another bowl; they tried to fix the problem. No one treated you horribly.”

And then, the woman tries to intimidate the hostess.

The woman retorts something like, “I’m going to get online and write a terrible review of this place!”

The hostess smiles at her and says “Good. You do that,” probably holding back laughter at the woman by this point.

You’ll never believe what happens next.

And then, out of nowhere, and right over her son, she punched the hostess square in the face.

Then, her and her family left.

One of the waitresses ran outside and got the license plate number.

Not only that, they paid with a Groupon! So, it was easy to track her down. The police arrested her, and the hostess pressed charges.

Her consequences are unbelievable…

What’s really great is that a few months before, that hostess had been in a car accident that messed up her neck, and it wasn’t healed yet.

That punch, which normally one could take quite well, sent her physical therapy back to Stage 1, which made it count as a new injury, which made that woman’s punch assault.

And, that punch being thrown over her child counted as child endangerment. The best part…

She was a special needs teacher! And with a felony charge, you can’t work with kids, so as a result she also lost her job!

I’m shocked anyone could be that aggressive, more so that such a person worked with kids. But, I am extremely happy her life is completely messed up now!
