Man rams Taco Bell over missing 99-cent taco
Taco Bell employees working a drive-thru Tuesday morning were the latest to feel a customer’s wrath after getting an order wrong.
According to police in Huber Heights, Ohio, a 23-year-old man was so incensed that he was missing a 99 cent taco after pulling off from a Taco Bell drive-thru that he returned and rammed an entrance with his pickup truck.
The man, who was not identified, first drove back to the drive-thru, yelled at employees for making the mistake and snatched the taco from an employee after one was made for him, according to a report by ABC 22. The customer then sped off but not before smashing a side entrance.
Police were able to follow a trail of fluid from the smashed truck and arrest the customer, who was charged with felony vandalism after admitting to the destruction, police said.
Two weeks ago, two men were arrested in Murfreesboro, Tenn., after throwing a brick and piece of concrete through a McDonald’s drive-thru window after ordering cheeseburgers without onions and ketchup but getting the burgers with both. The men, who said they were angry their orders were “messed up,” were charged with reckless endangerment, vandalism and public intoxication. A McDonald’s manager and employee were injured by flying glass

John it doesn’t matter if they hardly work for nothing, they are at work and they need to do their job.

Simple solution here. Do not eat anything that you can order from a drive through window. It will cause you short and long term health issues. Might even cause you to drive a car into the side of a building.
you want fries.....

you’re right WOW, only nonsense is open for comments on this rag…another UGA player is busted and the comments are closed……i was only going to say that it was a good thing he didn’t smoke it and get the muchies, and go to taco bell, get his order wrong and blow up…he’d be in BIG trouble then……not like the weed in his pocket will mean anything to UGA, where most fast food employees come from anyway……

This is for (Shot a man in Reno) I do not remember reading in the article that they were fat. Maybe you should take your head out of you butt and read it again. Everyone that eats at Taco Bell or McDonald’s is not fat. I am taking this as you don’t like fat people. Guess what some of us don’t like stupid people that can’t read correctly.

I enjoyed how all the comments relate to the employees and how incorrect drive-thru orders are processed.
Look at the bigger picture people… these idiots committed acts of physical acts of violence over a 99 cent taco and ketchup and onions.

“another UGA player is busted and the comments are closed”
That’s so losers like you won’t be allowed to spew the same tired ignorant insults. Want some cheese with that whine?
And Taco Bell never gets your order right; he should have known better. Then again, Ohio is just Alabama without the accent, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

The UGA player and his driver were smart enough to park next to a police car with aroma oozing from their vehicle.

Yeah it sucks to have your taco order messed up like that. Store ramming as a means of negative customer feedback is a little extreme, however. If you absolutely must go the ram route for heaven’s sake don’t leave a fluid trail for the police to follow you home.

The McDonald’s on Panola road at Minola road is awful. They wait till u pay then have u pull up. Every. Single. Time. Even if you order a No. 1. I’ve quit going there, and now go to Wendy’s. The kids meal toys are more educational. Although I would love to go Madea on the McDonald’s, it’s not worth it. Tried complaining to corporate, but it’s a franchise store.
