Man punches 'rude' drive-thru clerk
 

PENN HILLS, Pa. - A man who thought the clerk at a fast-food drive-through was rude for not saying "please" and "thank you" punched her in the face, police said. Duane L. Williams, angered by what he felt was the clerk's rudeness, walked into the store to complain just before 8 p.m. Wednesday, Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton said Friday.

Before the manager could meet with Williams, he walked back outside, pushed open the drive-through window and punched the 19-year-old woman in the face. The clerk was bruised, but not badly hurt, Burton said.

"He didn't like the girl's attitude because she didn't say 'please' and 'thank you,'" Burton said.

The store manager ran outside to get Williams' license plate number and called police.

Williams, 46, told police he had "anger-management issues" when he turned himself in later that night, Burton said.

"He was unable to tell the officer why he did that. He said he remembered opening the drive-through window, but could not remember if he punched the victim or not," Burton said. "I guess he just had a bad day."

Nobody answered the phone listed at the address police supplied for Williams and it was not immediately clear if he has an attorney.

Police filed charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment Thursday, which were mailed to Williams with a summons to appear in court, Burton said.

Now, I've certainly felt like punching rude people in the face, but a 19yr old girl who didn't say 'please' and 'thank you'? That may be overreacting.

Crazy
 

That's crazy. It actually made me think back to all the times people were rude to me....and how I never got the urge to punch them in the face. Some people have crazy tempers.

I hate dealing with most drive thru people... just a couple nights ago I was coming home from work and went to the drive thru at mcdonalds. Their intercom was fucked and I had to drive to the window, and I ended up waiting at the window for like a minute as this kid kept mopping the floors. Eventually I bashed on the drive thru window with my keys. He took forever, and then when I got my drink I said thanks in the nicest voice I could muster (you know even after being sorta pissed) and he didn't say anything. So I was like "hey!" and I flipped him off and told him to get back to mopping the floors. :)

Drive-thru people hate there jobs and they are going to make damn sure YOU pay for it.

that's basically it, I'd be the same way.

Never fuck with the people who make your food ... well, at least not until after youhave your food.

:D Holy Shit Doll....You Rule :D That's funniest thing I've heard all day.

My motto in life.
