Woman sues restaurant known for throwing rolls after she gets hit by bread

SIKESTON, Mo., - A diner filed a lawsuit Monday against a Missouri restaurant famous for its "throwed rolls" after a piece of bread hit her and caused an injury.

Troy Tucker sued Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston, Mo., after she said she was hit by a roll and "sustained a lacerated cornea with a vitreous detachment and all head, neck, eyes and vision were severely damaged" in September 2014, WDAF-TV, St. Louis, Mo., reported.

She is seeking $25,000 to pay for her medical bills and legal fees. The lawsuit said Lambert's Cafe should know about the dangers caused by throwing rolls.

Jerry Johnson, the general manager of the restaurant, told KFVS-TV in Cape Girardeau, Mo., the employees never mean to injure anyone when they throw rolls. He said people have tried to sue the restaurant in the past, and in some cases, the company's insurance has paid the cost of medical bills.

It's unclear if Tucker has a case for her allegations of "carelessness and negligence" against Lambert's Cafe. There are multiple signs inside and and outside the restaurant calling it "Home of Throwed Rolls."

They always fall down, why do they always fall down. Every movie, they fall down.

Neither is a few hundred deaths due to faulty ignition switches, I mean, really, people still buy GM cars!

Strawman.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this particular issue. GM hiding things is one thing, serving hot coffee hot, especially when consumers know it is hot, is not quite the same thing.

Yes.

I believe that would be our wisest course of action.

No one's ever accused me of being wise. A wise-ass, maybe. Have a great Friday!

Well, if that wasn’t a lawsuit waiting to happen, lol.

Not if she knew about the thrown rolls and chose to assume the risk.

She would not want me on the jury, if case is to be decided by a jury.

The hot coffee spilling folks either.

That “Eggshell Skull Rule” could be stretched a lot further by our vast army of underemployed lawyers.

“The serving staff walks around with side dishes and it's all you can eat, including the rolls.”

How about the folks that are overweight, out of shape and diabetic that overeat because they don't have enough will power to stop eating are forcefed from the serving staff until they explode?
