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.

We love Waffle House...but only get to one a couple of times a year.
We're going to practice ducking.

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.

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

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.

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.

Maybe if the newspaper people had worked better and not been drunks, then
the paper could have survived under the former ownership.

There was one top of the line seafood house in the area at that time.

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.







That was many years ago, before Carter inflated the dollar at 14% a year,
and other presidents and Congresses inflated it more. While working nights
going to university in the 1960's, there were places in San Francisco where
you could get a complete pork chop dinner with soup and salad and dessert
for $1.75 (Ellis and Taylor if I remember correctly). Open 24 hours.

You can get almost anything you want in a good restaurant without even

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.

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

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.

Maybe if the newspaper people had worked better and not been drunks, then
the paper could have survived under the former ownership.




Maybe if you knew what you were talking about, *ever* , you might fool
some into thinking you knew what you were talking about. You see,
Bilious Bill, before selling the paper off to the first conglomerate,
the paper was owned in its entirety by its newsroom employees, who ran
such a good paper that they all made out like bandits. Some years after
the sale, the first conglomerate sold the paper off to another, and it
began to slide...badly, for a number of reasons.

So, you see, Bilious, the newspaper people did very well, and could have
survived, but the employees saw a way to make a killing and, sadly for
the newspaper, they went for it.

This was a long time ago, by the way.

I used to live in a part of the county where all of the cops live. Some
idiot from another state stopped by one of our local banks and made an
illegal withdrawal. Within about 5 minutes there were 50 county cops on
the road in marked cars, lights blazing, chasing the idiot. They caught
the guy.

You don't have to do contortions like that to get what you want in a

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.

You implied it elsewhere, dickhead.


Right. Last week at the airport. Sorry, I remember now.


You're now officially a liar. Do I need to quote you?

You're just as vile as the dickheads in this group who insisted we
were in Iraq for all the right reasons while accusing me of being a
traitor, unamerican, guilty of sedition, comfort to the enemy, etc.

None of them is man enough to admit they were dead wrong.

Just like you.

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.

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

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.
Now I get it.

Right. Last week at the airport. Sorry, I remember now.
You're now officially a liar. Do I need to quote you?
You're just as vile as the dickheads in this group who insisted we
were in Iraq for all the right reasons while accusing me of being a
traitor, unamerican, guilty of sedition, comfort to the enemy, etc.
None of them is man enough to admit they were dead wrong.
Just like you.
Do I hear someone sniffing very loudly?
Do you understand that he's addressing me and that he's not addressing
you and that you've added absolutely nothing to the dialogue?
Take it to e-mail if you don't want the rest of us chiming in when we
want to chime in.
This is what you've spent 100s of hours doing? Have you learned
anything, honed your debate skills, enlightened anyone about anything?
We are here to prove that you are a pompous ass as often as possible.

What you're doing is buttsniffing and I hear a giant whiff coming from

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.

I believe in ordering the food they specialize in.

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.
Now I get it.

All you get is ****. "Partner" is used in the traditional sense as in
business partner.

As usual, go **** yourself.
Is that what I implied, dip****?
You implied it elsewhere, dickhead.
Right. Last week at the airport. Sorry, I remember now.
You're now officially a liar. Do I need to quote you?

You're just as vile as the dickheads in this group who insisted we
were in Iraq for all the right reasons while accusing me of being a
traitor, unamerican, guilty of sedition, comfort to the enemy, etc.

None of them is man enough to admit they were dead wrong.

Just like you.
Do I hear someone sniffing very loudly?
Do you understand that he's addressing me and that he's not addressing
you and that you've added absolutely nothing to the dialogue?
Take it to e-mail if you don't want the rest of us chiming in when we
want to chime in.

This is what you've spent 100s of hours doing? Have you learned
anything, honed your debate skills, enlightened anyone about anything?
We are here to prove that you are a pompous ass as often as possible.

Is this your civic duty?

What you're doing is buttsniffing and I hear a giant whiff coming from
your direction. Here's something for your trouble -- pfffffft
Did you learn that from Harry? Sounds about third gradish!
Just a repeat of what "Reggie" said.

You're not here to prove anything. You haven't the skill.
How are those find German screw drives doing? You know the metal rods
with plastic handles.
You are freakin' weird. Would you limit my choice to chinese crap
bought at walmart for my electronics bench?
What's the difference between a $2 screw driver and a $5 screw driver?

First you want to dictate what happens in your wife's womb, then it's
screwdrivers. Where does it stop, BAR?
I was smart enough to marry a woman who has the same values I have.
I'm glad your wife was never raped and impregnated.

A life is a life, what did the baby do to deserve to die.


Even if extending the dna line of a psychopath...

I am interested to know if your fine German screw drivers are as good as
my fine Craftsman screw drivers that I bought 30 years ago. $19.95 for a
20 piece screw driver set. I still have 17 of them. Two didn't survive
due to them being used as pry bars and one failed as a chisels.
Truth is I tried to purchase craftsman but they were more expensive
than the German model (manufactured for our specific tasks) and
significantly inferior in quality, made in China.

Sounds like an exchange rate problem.

I must have at least 25 craftsman screwdrivers in my box and bag. For
most jobs they're fine, for assembling small electronic parts they're
not acceptable.

This is what we use:

You operate a tech bench at work rather than the corner office.


I don't operate. I'm responsible for making certain it's stocked with
the right tools, just like I'm responsible for making certain we have
the right computers, software, personnel, offices, professional
accountants, attorneys, security, etc. I run a business.


You are a lab supervisor.

Sometimes I wish I were.

You folks with "jobs" don't live with responsibility beyond 5 days.

I'm responsible for people's livelyhoods and the future of our
business. You know, where the buck stops.

Maybe you don't.
