Mad Black Woman at Burger King

Last night was laundry night.  I was at the 'mat with Kathy and we had all the wash started.  I was pretty hungry so we decided to drive over to Burger King, pick up a quick bite and take it back to eat while we were waiting for the various cycles of the task.  We walked into the BK and straight into a pretty good argument with F-bombs and obvious physically threatening stances.  An African American gal was 'up in the face' of this guy working behind the counter.  I have never seen somebody this upset over a hamburger before.  He was telling her to step back, etc. and she was getting closer and finally she whips around like some sort of Tasmanian devil and rakes a bunch of stuff off the counter.  We're talking like the little rack that holds the cup lids, the cardboard display stuff...I even think she got the little clear plastic box that holds change for Crusade for Children.   I think I was hit by some debris from that.  Nothing that could hurt you, but just to say that's how close I was!

 

In short order, she decided this was not enough damage.  She lunged over and grabbed the ENTIRE cash register and picked it up over her head!!  You could see the electric cord and the wires that connect it to the order monitors in back and perhaps the credit card reader.  She was not a big girl, and seemed to have enough strength for me to think "there is some crack or meth or something involved here!"  Well, this is when I decided I needed to get Kathy any myself the hell out of there!

 

I stepped outside and thought for a moment....what if she pulls a gun??  The woman retreated back to the back of the dining area close to the little playland!  I could only think "What if Lexie and Logan had been with me???"  This is the same BK that is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from an elementary school, a middle school and a high school...where my kids go!!   The address was printed on the outside of the building.  I called 911.

 

I told them what was going on, and it seemed to take them forever to get there.  Like 20+ minutes.  I know there is a police sub station right down the street and was wondering why it took so long...  We went over to Sonic which is next door to get something safe to eat!!  From the vantage point at Sonic, we finally saw the police show up.  The had the guy and girl outside talking to them.  We left to go do laundry.

 

I'm going to call BK corporate office today...
