RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) - A former waiter was ordered to perform 80 hours of community service for vandalizing the home of customers who complained about his service. Jonathan Voeltner, 21, was also put on probation for two years and ordered to pay a $316 fine after pleading guilty to the misdemeanor charges in Riverside County Superior Court.

"JUST DAMN!!!"

Why didn't he just follow the time honored route,
and pee in their beer?

[ConservativeMan55]

Who says he didn't? LOL.

[Revolting cat!]

"That'll learn 'em!"

This is exactly the kind of thing O.J. Simpson was trying to prevent.

So these people moved after being egged and "rolled"? Sheesh, they wouldn't make it through a single Halloween night in my neighborhood.

Did the fearful customers ever hear of buying a gun? If the punk persists, waste him...

This would make a good Seinfeld episode if it was still on.

Voeltner was a waiter at Sizzler when asked the Kellers for vegetables with their meal and were told they could only get a baked potato or french fries. After they insisted on a salad, Voeltner rudely delivered one, the family said. They complained to the Norco restaurant's manager.

.....In court on Wednesday, Voeltner, who was fired from his job, apologized to the family.

They sure baked his potato.

But the Kellers, who have since moved, said they fear further retaliation.

"When I drive, I'm nervous about who is behind me," Darlene Keller said. "When we go out to eat, we can't help but think about it.

"It makes you think twice about everything," she said. "When you are Christmas shopping and you can't find something, do you ask for help, or should you let it go?"

Not at all supporting the punk waiter, but these people do seem a little overly-sensitive. All this over some crushed eggs, maple syrup on the hedges(?), and toilet paper?

Sounds as though they are setting things up for a lawsuit with the Sizzler people...afraid to ask for help now/ Pleeze....21 year old kid goofin with his buddies. Granted he needs an attitude adjustment but if he was really mad,I'm sure he would have done something extreme.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Agreed. While I'm somewhat sympathetic to their situation, I can't help to but to feel that their fear is a tad hysterical. Don't be frightened of the guy who TPs your trees and rings the doorbell, be frightened of the guy who kills pets and starts fires.

Your post is an alltime classic.

Great, now the "Homeless" will have to eat food with spit and God knows what else in it.

Better they covered him with maple syrup and hung him from a tree.

Officer, Officer - there's a waiter in my pool. He's trying to swim with an anvil tied around his ankles.

[Nitro]

No, you just keep him away from the walls with the skimmer and it looks like Vandalism gone wrong.

[Orangedog]

This couple needs to learn the old way of "don't get mad, get even." Then they need to get some initiative and learn just how fun practical jokes can be. I would have had a field day with the failed waiter.
