Two Milwaukee ladies took the Burger King trademark "have it your way" a little too seriously a month ago. 41-year-old Latonia Howell entered a Milwaukee Burger King on Saturday, February 27.
After trying to use different coupons to pay for her order, she was informed by a Burger King employee that the company's policy only let one coupon to be utilized per order. Howell supposedly got to be irate and as she left the eatery, she let the clerk realize that she would be coming back with her daughter to thrash her.
Howell came back 15 to 20 minutes later with her daughter, 21-year-old Jasmeika Simon, in tow. After intimidating the employee, "Don't ever disrespect my mom," Simon supposedly continued to hit her in the face. Before leaving, Simon threatened to "go get her gun".
Both ladies face crime allegations of physical abuse of a child with intention to bring about real harm. In a meeting with police, Howell confessed to telling the worker that she would have her daughter "kick her ass" and said she "felt the female cashier was being rude to her."
Simon told police she trusted the employee was inconsiderate to her mom and in this way needed to threaten her. Both ladies faced up to six years in prison and $10,000 in fines if sentenced according to the Eater.
When touched for statement by Eater, Burger King gave the following testimonial: "The franchise owner, who independently owns and operates this restaurant, assisted authorities to help bring resolution to this unfortunate incident. Thankfully, the employee has fully recovered."
There's something about fast food that makes several clients get somewhat rough. Last February, a lady smashed her auto into a Pizza Hut after a representative lost her order and in June, a trio of friends attacked Taco Bell workers and clients in the wake of being unsatisfied with their food according to Nbc15.
