Police: SC Waffle House Waitress Shoots Customer After Complaint

Posted: 6:26 am EDT May 13, 2009Updated: 9:03 am EDT May 13, 2009

*MANNING, S.C. -- *A waitress at a South Carolina Waffle House 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 says 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.

Just like his stupid lover Don, Harry is so damned dumb that he thinks
because something happened in ONE Waffle House out of more than 1,500
that it happens in all of them!!!! What a moron.
Let's see, that would mean that because the KKK is headquartered in
Maryland, that Harry is a member.....

Good thing she had a gun handy.

If she's got a clean record and no history of mental illness, there'd
be no way to predict what may cause her to try to kill a customer.

Don't recall anyone convincing a judge of justified intent to kill for
complaining about poor service at a diner.

If everyone in the diner had cwp, she wouldn't have dared draw her
weapon. She'd have been gunned down in a hail of bullets.

I complained to a Waffle House waitress about my wife being served a
chicken fillet that was totally raw in the middle. That's bad, bad.
Waitress didn't shoot me, and she didn't offer to comp the garbage
either. Haven't entered a Waffle House since.
Not that I wouldn't. Just not with my wife. And she's always travels
with me, which is the only time I see a Waffle House.
Around here it's IHOP or Denny's for eggs.
Don't ask me why my wife just had to have chicken at a Waffle House.
It's a mystery, but that's how she is.
Same with Burger King. Chicken sandwich.
Me, if I go into a Waffle House, IHOP or Denny's, it's eggs.
At Burger King I get a burger.
If I want chicken, I go to Popeyes Chicken.
I thought it's supposed to work that way.
Guess not.

My oldest son was a very fussy eater.
We'd go into a Chinese restaurant and he had to have a hamburger.
I believe in ordering the food they specialize in.

That would embarass me. Maybe it did you, and that's why he spends his
time on the couch. Is he picky about what brand of beer you fetch for
him?

The Chinese joints I go to don't serve hamburgers, at least I never
saw them on the menu.
But I learned something when eating out with a friend who had been a
restaurateur - and he had been the maitre de at La Francais, an
internationally know restaurant nearby.
You can get almost anything you want in a good restaurant without even
looking at the menu.
Of course he knew the owners, what the kitchen was capable of, best
sides for the dish in the traditions or the originating country, etc.
You could call him an epicure, if that's the word.
These were all local "specialty" places, mostly Italian.
But let's say you tend that way, and like to eat just so.
For example you like blacks olives with such and such.
Not on the menu, but if you ask you should be accommodated.
One of my favorite movie scenes was Jack Nicholson getting his
toast by putting multiple holds on the menu BLT.
Five Easy Pieces, I think.
You don't have to do contortions like that to get what you want in a
good restaurant.
Having said that, I never do it, and go with the menu.

Me too.

Indeed. Many, many years ago, Stepfatherinlaw #1, a nice fellow, came to
visit shortly after we moved to the DC area from New York. He was a
lifelong midwesterner. We went out to Annapolis for a nice day trip, and
I took everyone to a pretty nice seafood restaurant there. He ordered
meatloaf and his youngest daughter, who accompanied him on the trip,
ordered a roast beef sandwich. With mashed potato(e)s. Grrrrrrr.

They can't help themselves. My partner grew up in the midwest. We
met in Los Angeles. For the first year he was on the west coast,
every course of the meal featured meat.

He's long been rehabilitated but it took years.

Arrgh!

When I lived in KC, and was a highly underpaid reporter for the KC Star,
I was fortunate enough to find some really good steak houses where you
could get a complete meal...salad, baked potato(e) and steak, for $3 to
$4. Not the best steak houses in town, for sure, but pretty good.

There was one top of the line seafood house in the area at that time.
Luckily for me, for several years I dated a gal whose uncle owned the
place. I sure as hell could not have afforded lobster with my paycheck!

I worked on the larger circulation morning edition of the paper, and
reported to work at 4 pm and was on the clock until 1 am, though the
night city editor used to let us go after the final city news edition
hit the presses at 12:15. All of the single (and a few of married)
reporters and editors headed to a bar a couple of blocks away that
happened to serve really great soups and burgers. I ate too many meals
there.

We had a "dining room" at the paper, but it was populated with hot meal
vending machines. Pure ptomaine. Lots of great stories about The Star.
It was at the time one of the great papers in the country. No
more...bought out by the conglomerators.
