Gasping at straws
Customers were understandably upset when they thought the crewmember stationed at a fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru window had neglected to give them straws with their order. The driver of the car, a woman, got out of the vehicle and stood in front of the pass-through, obviously infuriated. The attendant, a pregnant woman, explained that the straws were in the bag.
Instead of checking, the customer reached through the drive-up window, grabbed the attendant, and attempted to pull her out onto the lane and assault her. Other workers at the Wendy’s came to her defense and pulled her back, but she ended up climbing out into the melee anyway, where she was kicked and hit by the angry patrons until coworkers stopped the altercation.
The woman suffered scratches and bruises, and a visit to medical authorities revealed her baby was fine.
The police are still looking for the staff member’s attacker.
