Ohio Woman Throws Fast Food At Worker, Gets Odd Sentence

This might be the best ever...an Ohio woman throws her fast food order at a worker and got a surprise sentence from a judge. Normally a story you would hear in the "Other News" on The Mike & Carla Morning Show. But this morning we talked about it separately because it was that good. Who does that? Throws a fast food order at someone!

According to Fox8/Cleveland, this happened a couple of months ago at a Chipotle in Parma, Ohio. A 38 year old woman who clearly was NOT satisfied with her order. Either it wasn't good well enough or the order was wrong, but the woman threw a burrito bowl at the girl behind the counter.

Of course, the woman was arrested and the young lady behind the counter, she was okay. But it was enough to make her quit her job and look for another one.

Since then, an update on the story finds the woman in question in court being sentence by Judge Timothy Gilligan. Judge Gilligan actually gave the woman a choice when it came to sentencing. Spend time in jail or find a part-time job at a fast food restaurant. The judge explained on the latter choice to walk in the young workers shoes to see how it feels.

Given the choice, the woman decided to work part-time at a fast food restaurant! Smart! However, on The M&C Morning Show, we wanted to know, have you ever been that mad to really throw something at someone? Ha! All three on the show admitted to it and so did a few listeners!

For Mike O'Brian it was a briefcase...not really aimed at anyone. For Carla Rea, it was a cup she really didn't like anyway. Now Morty, Mr. Calm, admitted to throwing his phone believe it or not!

But seriously, what is the wildest, craziest thing you ever threw at someone? We clearly hit a nerve because the phone and text lines blew up! Take a listen to the segment below and see if you can't relate...and enjoy!

Lately, the subject of first dates occurring at chain restaurants has garnered significant attention. A recent survey asking women about their least preferred venues for first dates has ignited a debate on the internet. This list, which was shared on Instagram by @DuvalPromo, is reportedly the result of polling women to determine their least favored first-date locations.

Among the 28 establishments on the list are restaurant chains such as Applebee's, Chili's, and Denny's are featured. The top spot for the most unsuitable first date location is occupied by The Cheesecake Factory, followed by Applebee's, Chili's, Chipotle, and Olive Garden, rounding out the top five. It's worth noting that the list includes not only restaurants but also specific first-date situations, including "your house," family functions, a bar solely for drinks, and church.

Whether it's a first date or a casual meal, the question arises: Why do some people have reservations about restaurant chains?

According to Farm Credit Canada, a chain restaurant is defined as a business with four or more locations. These restaurants are typically large-scale operations with multiple branches, sometimes spanning different countries or continents.

The expansion of chain restaurants did not occur overnight. Many of them have humble origins in smaller, local establishments. For instance, the Cheesecake Factory, which currently operates over 300 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, began as a small bakery in Detroit and eventually evolved into The Cheesecake Bakery in Los Angeles in 1972, according to their website. It wasn't until the late '90s and early 2000s that additional locations began to appear.

Critics often express their reservations about chain restaurants, and there are valid reasons for their concerns. Many people prefer supporting local businesses over large corporations, as chain restaurant food is often mass-produced and served uniformly across various locations. Dining exclusively at upscale or independent establishments offers a sense of social prestige, something to brag about, and the feeling of indulging in a unique experience. However, ultimately, it's all about eating a meal.

There's something comforting about knowing that, for the most part, you can find something familiar to eat at any time and almost anywhere. Maybe that's why singer Walker Hayes dedicated his song Fancy Like, to the simple joys of eating a chain like Applebee's. So, let's chat about some of the reasons people actually enjoy dining at chain restaurants.

One of the advantages of dining at a chain restaurant is the predictability that comes with it. Local, independent establishments can be more hit-or-miss, often offering a more limited menu selection, which makes them a riskier choice for a date or group outing. When you open the menu, you can expect to find the same menu items prepared and presented consistently. Chain restaurants usually follow uniform recipes and they use the same ingredients, equipment, and standardized training procedures. You can expect a consistent experience whether you're in one part of the country or another. Restaurant chains are like your reliable pals on a road trip. You spot their logo on an exit sign, and you know it's there. It's that simple convenience that makes chain restaurants a go-to option, no matter where you are.

For many people, chain restaurants served as the primary dining option simply because they were the most accessible. You know how the place will look, how the wait staff is dressed, and how you are expected to dress at chain restaurants, ensuring a familiar dining experience wherever you go. Many diners have a soft spot for the food we know and love. It's like a comforting experience. Chain restaurant grub often brings back memories of late-night munchies after Friday night football games, college hangouts, and road trips.

Chain restaurants tend to be easier on the wallet compared to standalone establishments with more specialized menus and daily chef's specials. Most of us keep an eye on our dining budget and wouldn't want to feel like we've emptied our pockets for a single meal. That's why diners appreciate restaurant chains with Happy Hour, Budget Menus, and Late-Night deals.

Many local places struggle to seat larger groups, especially if you've got more than four people in your party. Unless you've made a reservation or a special request, you might end up waiting a while for enough room to open up, regardless of the size of your party. Additionally, local establishments sometimes arrange tables in closer proximity to maximize their limited space. Not everyone's a fan of dining elbow-to-elbow with strangers and involuntarily eavesdropping on neighboring conversations throughout their meal.
