Are the golden arches turning green? Read about McDonalds “green” changes Here.
Only in the USA would an attempted murder be a result of a fast food order gone wrong.
According to MyFoxPhoenix.com
“Blame it on the honey mustard. Police say it all started when a disgruntled customer didn’t get condiments with her Kentucky Fried Chicken order.
Police arrested a 26-year-old woman who they say tried to run over a KFC employee, all because the employee failed to provide condiments with her meal.
Surprise Police say that Monique Aguet was going through a KFC drive thru near Bell and Reems Roads Wednesday night when the argument began.
The argument escalated when Aguet went inside the store. When she was ordered to leave the building, a KFC employee followed her out of the building and stood behind the vehicle to get her license plate number, Surprise Police spokesperson Lt. Craig Scartozzi said.
“(Aguet) began to pull out and the employee struck the trunk to let her know she was there in case she hadn’t seen her,” Scartozzi said.
Police suspect that Aguet continued to back out again despite the employee’s warning. The employee was struck but not hurt.
Aguet was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.”
