TEMPLE,TEXAS(KWKT)–A woman accused of throwing soup in the face of a Texas restaurant manager was arrested, according to police.
On Wednesday, police in Temple arrested 31-year-old Amanda Martinez after video of the incident started going viral the previous week.(snip)
Victim Janelle Browland Browland said the customer had purchased a to-go order for a menudo soup, but called to complain upon arriving home.
“She had called back, and … started complaining about how the plastic lid from the to-go container had melted into her soup, and kept putting me off and saying, ‘Well, this is effing ridiculous,’” says Browland. “I said, ‘Yes, ma’am, I know.’ And she said, ‘Can I, can I talk to a manager? I want to talk to a manager right now.’”
That’s when Browland told the woman that she was the restaurant’s manager. Browland said the woman then used several choice words — so Browland hung up the phone.
A few minutes passed, and the phone rang a second time. Browland asked the woman to hold, in order to help other customers at the counter. But when she returned to the phone, the call had been disconnected.
“A few minutes later, that’s when my host came and got me and said, ‘There’s this lady here talking about her to-go order,’” Browland remembered. “And I just thought to myself, ‘OK, here we go.’(snip)
The customer made her way to the counter to speak with Browland, who said the woman continued using harsh language.
“I said, ‘Ma’am, I can still help you,'” Browland said. “Those were my exact words. I said, ‘Ma’am, I can still help you. I just ask you, you do not talk to me that way.’ And that’s [when] she literally just grabbed the cup and just threw it right at me in that moment. “

Soups on.
Soup Karen.
No soup for you!!!
I’ll bet $100 bucks she’s a full blown Bernie bot.
Throw the book at her, then some soup.
That’s how soup nazi’s get started.
She should be exercising and eating salad. And when she’s not doing that she should be reading something to educate herself - and staying off of social media.
People don’t know how to deny themselves, or don’t want to. There’s zero self-discipline in much of society. It’s “I want what I want when I want it”.
How one treats people that serve you says a lot about you.
Only took police a week and a half to find her.
Impatient and self-centered. We live in an “instant world” and if anything goes wrong, some people can’t handle it. I’m afraid it’s only going to get worse.
She wanted a meal. Soup is not a meal.
Over a bowl of Menudo? Everyone knows what that is, right?
After today, it’s nice to hear about a misdemeanor that won’t wind up in weeks of national interest and airtime - and will probably never be heard about again.
Soupy Sales.
I do. Ewww..
I hope they really throw the book at that fat vermin. She has no right to be on the street. I hope that cashier/manager is OK
Menudo
Probably a safe bet.
I'm guessing that the soup had cooled down by then and couldn't scald.
They didn't cover soup in how to defend yourself against fresh fruit class.
