A Nice Cuppa

According to an article on the Calgary Sun website, earlier this week a woman ordering at the drive-thru window of a Calgary Starbucks lost her temper in a major way when she learned the store had no scones in stock.  The customer grew so angry that she threw her scalding hot coffee at the Starbucks employee hitting the worker’s hands and apron, and then sped away.  Police are still looking for the woman, and ask anyone with information to contact them immediately. 

Can I please just remind everyone - this is scones we’re talking about.  A biscuit basically.  Maybe the woman was very hungry, and i can identify with being hungry.  But to throw hot coffee on someone because you can’t have your scone.  I think it’s safe to say that when you get so angry over not getting the food you want, your problem isn’t really about the food, there is a much bigger problem of some sort.  And more than likely it wasn’t even the employee’s fault the store was out of scones.  The worst part of the whole situation?  Perfectly good coffee was wasted.  (Okay, I’m kidding - the assault by coffee was the worst part.)
