A resident of a Florida retirement community angry over the thickness of a tomato was charged with a felony after she hurled racial slurs and a sandwich at a Black fast food-chain employee.

According to records from the Wildwood Florida Police Department seen by the Villages News, Judith Ann Black, 77, was dining at a Burger King in the nearby Trailwinds Village last Friday when she confronted an employee about her unsatisfactory sandwich.

According to the News, Black was angry over the thickness of the tomato slice on her Whopper, and the Burger King employee who was unnamed in the report, tried to calm Black down - but Black threw the Whopper at the employee's back.

Black then stormed out, but not before spouting several expletives including the N-word, calling the employee a "stupid Black b----," according to the police report seen by Villages News. The outlet verified this with the manager and another worker at the Trailwinds Burger King, as well as a customer who witnessed the exchange.

Wildwood police tracked Black down and booked her at the Sumter County Detention Center, but released her later on a $2,500 bond.

According to police records seen by the News, Black admitted to being "angry" that the employee was not "fixing the issue," and confirmed that she had thrown the Whopper at the Burger King worker.

The police record referenced by the Villages News also indicated that Black's use of racial slurs altered "the charge of battery from a misdemeanor of the first degree to a felony of the third degree under Florida State Statute 775.085." This statute is known as the "hate crime statute," which increases the minimum and maximum penalties that a judge could impose.

Judy needs to go to a Whattaburger, if there's one nearby. In the 45 years I've lived in Texas, I can recall only one time my order was incorrect.

...and the tomatoes on my burgers were sliced correctly...lol.

Exactly. Becoming agitated over something so trivial is a symptom of Alzheimer’s.

Cops in my area will not come to most traffic accidents or reported burglaries.

If they did stumble over a burglar and arrested him, he's be released without bond.

Notice how the author claims the Villages are a “conservative” development? There is no way to know this, of course. We visit family in Florida twice a year and the number of license plates from New York, the east coast and Ontario is astounding, but hey, the woman used a slur so she has to be a conservative right?

Not condoning what customer did but in retrospect there are few things worse than a too thickly sliced tomato 🍅 on a Whopper.

Su much for the corporate jingle.

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, SPECIAL ORDERS DON'T UPSET US.

Customer was definitely upset.

Well someone in the comments of the Village News knows her and her address. Her woes are just beginning.

Apologies, my attempt at humor failed.

Not at all, I got it and added my own!
