$34 Tab Brings Beating At Key West Waffle House
Patrons Beat A Customer Who Stepped Into A Fight Over The Tab
KEY WEST (CBS4) ―
It's one thing to be upset about the food or service at a restaurant, but in Key West two customers turned their anger into a fistfight, berating a cashier, beating a woman who came to her aid, over a $34 breakfast tab.
Police in Key West say the women became upset when they were handed the tab at the 24-hour eatery on Roosevelt Avenue, and told the cashier they wouldn't pay. When a bystander tried to speak up for the cashier, police say the two women attacked the helpful customer, pummeling her with their fists.
Witnesses told police the women ran off, stiffing the cashier for the tab. Police are looking for the pair, who Waffle House workers told police are often seen in the restaurant.
There was no word over what made the diners so upset that they were willing to beat someone up over their bill.
