I can't wait for karma to ketchup to this woman.

Calling 911 over a screwed up order, pulling your gun on the poor sap at the drive thru window and now this? Why do people get so vicious about fast food these days?

@Bluth_Cornballer: That’s just pouring salt in the wound.

@dragonfire81: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly!

It also makes you violent...and insane.

I think the consumerist needs a tag called "Bad Consumer" (Read like your telling your dog bad!) We are all human, and forget things, so I feel real bad for the KFC Worker.

Um, don't stand behind a car to try and detain someone who's been shouting at you? Hello?

@Bluth_Cornballer: She's going to be peppered with bad publicity.

This took place in a town called Surprise. Hah.

@Bluth_Cornballer: Hey, atleast she mustard enough courage to do it.

@dragonfire81: To quote Joe Pesci, because "THEY FUCK YOU AT THE DRIVETHU!!!"

Glad the employee mustard the courage to go to the cops with this.

@pmcpa4: [consumerist.com] :D

@Bluth_Cornballer: I relish the moment.

@dragonfire81: I run a pizza restaurant. I see this sort of thing all the time. People actually get violent over their food!

You could screw someone over big time at any other retail establishment. Charge them double for shoes. Refuse a return of worn clothing. Break their cell phone and then refuse to fix it.

But god forbid, if you mess up their meal, forget an item or make it improperly.... its on!

@willdude: ...She wasn't trying to detain anyone. She was trying to jot down the license plate number down, and when she noticed the car was starting to move, she smacked the trunk to let the driver know she was there.

Can you read? Hello?

@Bluth_Cornballer: she mayo regret her actions later.

@willdude: And don't you think your appropriate response should be: "Um, don't back someone up who is standing behind your car? Hello?"

I just love when the victims are blamed.

@willdude: Hey! You're an idiot!

Standing behind a car to jot down the license plate number is not "detainment." I bet you think asking for receipts is inherently detainment as well.

Either way, you don't drive into people...for any reason. Get a grip on reality.

@Stephmo: With his weee beady eyes...

@Bluth_Cornballer: She's going to get grilled for this.

@pecan 3.14159265: She's gotten herself into a honey of a jam.

So Meg, can I drive forward into her instead? ;-)

@ekthesy: boooooo!!!

@Bluth_Cornballer: If this were in Texas you can be sure she'd be fried.

Not defending the customer (much) but the employee made a bad move by standing in back of her car. You don't need to get that close to get a plate number, especially when you know that the customer is angry at you and is getting ready to back out.

@pattiesmart: The employee WAS preventing the movement of a person whom had not, at the point, broken any laws. You can copy down a license plate number from a place OTHER than directly behind a car. This is directly akin to standing in front of someone who is trying to leave somewhere, and when they attempt to move, pushing them. That is considered detainment in many places.

Just saying.

I worked fast food many years ago in high school/college. Certain people assume that fast food employees are not so much human beings as they are underlings/whipping boys/bitches that you can say anything to because, hey, you're paying them so they work for you.

One story that comes to mind is 2 young boys ordering food from me and nudging each other, giggling. One of them looks at me and asks "Uh, do you have a high school education?"... to which I quickly explained "Kids, I'm in college right now"

I would have probably not stopped my vehicle either if somebody was standing behind me trying to detain me.

I would not have gunned it, but backing up at 5mph is definitely reasonable ... especially if the person was AWARE and was ON PURPOSE trying to detain me.

If you know I am trying to leave, and you keep standing there and are able to move, but choose not to ... that's on you buddy.

@Bluth_Cornballer: When she reviewed safe sex education, I bet she wanted to know what a condiment! Get it?

@TheCoolestGuyInTown: At least no one was battered.

Some blaming this on Obama or Socialism in 3...2...1...

@TheCoolestGuyInTown: If the car had hit her, she might have flipped.

@david.c: She wasn't trying to detain anyone! She was standing there trying to get a plate number and the customer refused to stop even after the employee let her know she was there and trying to get out of the way.

@Bluth_Cornballer: This will teach people not to play chicken with KFC employees.

@pecan 3.14159265: Well Done.

First off, why the hell did the worker try to even get her license plate number for.
The customer was leaving, they should have let her leave.

@From the cubicle of PGibbons: If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.

All I know is, I get pretty irked when I have a 6 piece nugget in my hot little hands an NO BBQ sauce. Do you know how much heat is lost in the time it takes me to get from the drive thru to a parking spot then into the building, wait for them to notice me and fork over the tubs of spicy goodness then get back to my car?

@Duke_Newcombe (now with 50% more feigned interest): A Chicken (employee) In Every Pot(hole).

But then again, Obama seems to have a liberal attitude toward condom-int distribution.

@wargames2007: Cause she was irate and nowadays when people get very angry, you can't assume they won't come back and do something worse.

what's with all this negativity on the consumerist. Don't close credit cards, don't back over kfc employees not bearing condiments. How about some positive news? Give us a top 5 list of reasons we can run over fast food employees (or credit card CEO's).

@pecan 3.14159265: The last thing we need is a KFC employee pancaked in the parking lot.

@GitEmSteveDave_HasAList: I think I would have stood off to the side myself, but then again, I wouldn't have gotten a tag number just because I got yelled at by a customer. Unless I missed something in the article, I think that's about as bad as it got inside.

@Bluth_Cornballer: Mayonaise a lot of puns in this thread.

@GitEmSteveDave_HasAList: It's still not legal to assault the person WITH A FUCKING CAR. You can call the police and tell them you're being detained illegally or something, but the answer isn't running the person over. Granted, the person behind the car should've gotten the hell out of the way. I mean, does it really take more than a couple of seconds to get a plate number? Can you remember 6 digits for 2 seconds to write them down? Geesh...

@Duke_Newcombe (now with 50% more feigned interest): Well, not quite, but already a couple of posts about "detaining" and how the waitress had it coming. Its a similar sentiment.

@Preyfar: Atleast it is still better than *|CLEVER_PUN|*

@EdnaLegume: You can always put all six nuggets in your mouth and let the fried embers burn themselves into the roof of your mouth permanently. Then you can enjoy the heat for the next ten hours.

I think the KFC employee was nobly trying to save the life of the customer, as the MSG/chemicals/whatever else in the so-called "dippin' sauce" are probably known to cause cancer/lumbago/acne/death in laboratory rats. When they forget the condiments, you should thank them.
