MANNING, S.C. - A South Carolina restaurant employee has been arrested
and accused of shooting a customer who complained about the service.

The Clarendon County Sheriff's Office says 29-year-old Yakeisha Ward of
Manning is charged with assault and battery within intent to kill.

Deputies say Ward worked at a Waffle House in Manning and was involved
in a fight about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Lt. Tommy Burgess says the fight started when customer Crystal Samuel
complained about the quality of service in the crowded restaurant.

"I thought I was gonna get me an All-Star," Samuel told WLTX-TV. "Grits,
sausage, toast, eggs and a waffle."

Samuel said service was slow and when the food finally arrived she began
arguing with Ward.

Samuel admits throwing a waffle at the waitress.

"I did actually throw some food but it didn't hit her," said Samuel.
"That's when she (Ward) jumped across the counter and we got into it,"
says Samuel.

Burgess said Ward went to her van to get a gun.

Samuel was hit in the arm when Ward fired as those trying to break up
the fight pointed the gun to the ground and a bullet ricocheted.

It was unclear if Ward had an attorney.

Ha ha! That's great!

"Waitress, can I get some syrup?"

*BLAM BLAM BLAM!* "Enjoy your meal, motherfucker."

Anyone who throws food at a Waffle House employee is just begging to get shot at... at least around here they are anyway.  You do not fuck with someone working a Waffle House shift at 4:30 in the morning.

yeah, there's quite a lot of unwritten rules to waffle house.  what the fuck?  i files this like cases of rape where the girl is wasted at night, hops in a stranger's car and asks him to take her home: under "Should've Fuckin' Known Better"
