The Highly-Neglected Saga of the Burrito Attack

I recently read an interesting--and funny--story. Taken from The Advocate newspaper (1.24.18) I learned that in the workplace, anything can happen. Even battery with a burrito. "A Taco Bell employee angry about working the morning shift is accused of attacking a co-worker with a hot burrito."

Now I've heard of unusual altercations in the workplace, but I've never been privy to the attack of an employee with the weapon being a scalding flour tortilla folded around a filling.

What basically happened was the employee continued to complain about his work fate, "and kept getting into arguments with other colleagues, when she [a worker] told him to 'stop being a crybaby.'"

This irked the grousing employee who thereby "slung" a hot burrito at the other employee. The recipient of the hot projectile said "that when he [the burrito-wielding employee] threw the burrito, the melted cheese got all over her left arm and went all down her left side and leg."

The highlight of my workday was trying to disentangle three paperclips.
