MOUNT PLEASANT — A mother and daughter from Milwaukee were arrested Saturday after one of them allegedly pepper sprayed multiple employees on April 29 at Potbelly Sandwich Shop, 5910 Washington Ave.

Tamia L. Westbrook, 18, and Laquanda D. Westbrook, 37, both could face three counts of felony intentional use of an Oleoresin device to cause bodily harm, in addition to misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and three counts of battery.(snip)

On the day of the incident, Potbelly General Manager Sara Olson told The Journal Times that a woman (later identified as Laquanda Westbrook) became “a little upset” after her sandwich was made wrong. Upon seeing this, another woman (later identified as Tamia Westbrook) entered the restaurant and pepper sprayed workers and food.

Both women then left the restaurant before police arrived. The restaurant was forced to close for the day because food had been contaminated and several employees had to seek medical attention.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department reported that one employee was sprayed “directly in the face.”

Is there any hope for some people? Have they ever had a job where they have to deal with customers?

The daughter is old enough to have begun chanting Barack Hussein Obama, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm in pre-school/kindergarten.

Or perhaps they were triggered by the white mayo that came with it, that they hadn’t requested to not be on it.
