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. “

You're not smelling melted plastic. You're smelling cow stomach. Menudo is supposed to smell like cow stomach.
The manager should have given her “Duck soup” so when she threw it, she would know to “DUCK”. hattip to Groucho and Morrie Ryskind who wrote it. Ryskind was one of the conservatives who led the fight against the Communist Party re control of the Screen Writers Guild (while Reagan later become the leader of the anti-Communist faction of the Screen Actors Guild.
I believe his son’s book was entitled “Hollywood Reds” (Alan Ryskind). It was bout his fathers ‘Hollywood career.
