Florida man doesn't get straw, attacks McDonald's employee
WCJB ^ | 01/02/2019

Taylor was unaware of a new city law that went into effect on Jan. 1 requiring customers to request straws.

Despite being told of the new law, Taylor began screaming at employees, claiming that the law did not exist, WFTS reports.

Taylor grabbed employee Yasmine James by the shirt collar and pulled her onto the counter. James attempted to defend herself by punching Taylor in the face.

After leaving the restaurant, Taylor returned to yell at the store manager and kicked another employee in the stomach before he once again left the scene.

Taylor was later arrested and charged with two counts of battery.

One of my favorite movies is Falling Down. With Michael Douglas. He started off having a bad day. It only got worse. And people kept pushing his buttons. I love the scene when he’s in that fast food restaurant two minutes past the breakfast hour and they refused to sell him a breakfast sandwich. He reached his breaking point again and again and again.

Thanks. He attacked her. So I’m pleased she was not punished. Her coworkers were slow to help her IMO...so she had no choice but to punch away.

McDonalds, where every size drink costs $1 and people still order a Small.

This guy had probably had other problems coming in. This was just the last straw.

We actually have our own reusable straws, so we ask not to be given straws.

The guy with the straw request got the worst of it by far. I saw the film footage. She now has a lawyer and is suing the hell out of Mickey D’s, of course. She was laughing all during her news interview. She hit the jackpot.
