This St. Louis area Wendy's employee is probably not going to be nominated for Employee of the Month.
Leon Johnson, a drive thru worker at the Wendy's restaurant on Page avenue in St. Louis, got hotter than a spicy chicken sandwich and lost his cool faster than a Frosty in July, on February 5th.
According to reports, Johnson became enraged with a drive thru customer and when he was unable to use his words effectively he transitioned into attack mode.
Johnson allegedly exited the store and began punching the victim through his car window. The customer was able to retrieve a hammer from his car and began swinging wildly at Johnson, driving him back from the car.
At this point the customer exited his vehicle to continue driving his attacker back which turned out to be a pretty bad idea.
After the victim exited his vehicle, Johnson hopped in and took a quick lap around the lot before hitting the customer with his own vehicle. He then exited the vehicle, took the victim's hammer and began striking him with it.
When officers arrived on scene, Johnson allegedly went after them like they were a Baconator, biting 2 of them.
Johnson is being charged with first degree assault, first degree tampering with a motor vehicle, third degree assault, second degree property damage, resisting arrest, and 2 counts of fourth degree assault.
Did you get all that, or should I repeat the order?
I have worked in the service industry and I know it is a thankless job and the majority of customers are rude and demanding, however this type of reaction only adds to the problems. I can't help thinking Dave Thomas is rolling in his grave.
Luckily, the victim was not seriously injured and was able to make a police report.
