DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Taco Bell is being sued by two customers after they said a manager poured boiling hot water on them.

The lawsuit was filed on July 13 in Dallas County for the incident that took place on June 17. Brittany Davis and C.T. (a minor) both suffered severe burns and trauma when a Dallas Taco Bell manager poured boiling water on them as they tried to resolve an issue with their order.

According to the lawsuit, the $30 order was filled incompletely twice in the drive-thru. The lawsuit continues to say that when the two women went inside to fix their order, they were locked in the dining room.

The manager came from behind the counter and poured the hot water on the victims and as the victims tried to leave the locked dining room, the manager attempted to pour a second bucket of hot water on them, but they escaped.

As the victims went to their family in a car in the the parking lot, a Taco Bell employee came outside the front door, laughing, clapping and taunting the family.

According to their lawyer, Ben Crump, the two suffered deep, severe burns to large portions of their bodies. While being care flighted to Parkland Hospital, Davis started seizing. The lawsuit states Davis had 10 seizures.

C.T. was taken to another Dallas hospital.

I find the story unbelievable.

As Warner Wolf used to say “Lets go to the videotape.”

In it you can see them try to go behind the counter and the manager is not having it.

At least he didn’t ‘mis-gender’ them. That could of cost TB big bucks.

In this video you can see the manager on the phone and I just bet she was calling the law. There is no sound but who wants to bet she and her staff were threatened and she used her wits not to become like that Popeye’s manager.

The manager looks like a woman and not a large one compared to the BT’s who came in.

Why’s it always the same demographic that thinks they can bully people? This needs to end and law and order should step up and take care of it. If they won’t, then... Lots of folks are going to get more hot showers, if you know what I mean.

“when the two women went inside to fix their order”

Tape shows they went behind the counter. What were they planning to do to “fix” it?

Tape shows a clearer picture of the employees than the perps, who appear to be blurred.

Exactly and there is no sound so we all know what was going down.

Good for that manager she did not get knocked out like that manager from Popeye’s.

Over the years, I have found that as a customer, it is better to tip well and always be pleasant, low key, and genial -- and especially so when asking for a mistake to be corrected. Doing so helps to keep one's peace of mind and tends to make one a favorite and favored customer.

Of course, I could be wrong -- and hectoring fast food employees about mistakes in an order so as to get splashed with boiling hot water in retaliation is the better approach.

Exactly. If they were there to fix the order, they will go up to the register, standing in front of the counter, and either ask for the meal to be fixed or simply request a refund and take it up with a higher level manager. Secondly try to go behind the counter, you’re not there to fix it you’re there to cause a scene or worse.

P.S.- if this was such egregious behavior, why didn’t the customers file a criminal complaint for assault and battery?

Nothing like slanting a story, huh CBS?

....went inside to correct the order....[that was incorrectly filled twice at the drive through]

....manager came from behind the counter and threw hot water...[here, no provocation or attempts to go behind counter according to the two ‘women’]

....went back outside to the ‘family’ car.....[yeah, these ladies were peaceful mothers, blah, blah blah...]

.....had 10 seizures in the hospital..... [uhhh, okay...why no seizure right there on the spot - drop down and seize out right there?]

The evidence is right there on the video....

"According to their lawyer, Ben Crump"

All you need to know. Crump is a race-baiting shyster of the highest (or lowest ?) order. Saint George Fentanyl Floyd's leading amber lamps chaser family "counsel."

I agree. Could be the two “ladies” got violent. And the manager reacted in self-defense.
