A Northwest Side doughnut-shop customer believed he had been given oversweetened coffee and shot the 29-year-old server to death last week, police said Monday.

Bond was set at $3 million on Monday for Alfredo Natal, 48, who cleans CTA buses. Natal thought the clerk, Sukhdev Dave, an immigrant whose wife was pregnant, was pouring too much sugar in his coffee in retaliation for an earlier service dispute, Grand Central Cmdr. Lee Epplen said.

The two apparently exchanged words at the Dunkin' Donuts store at 4867 N. Milwaukee Ave. two weeks prior to Dave's killing on Thursday, police said. The dispute evolved from an agreement Natal said he had made with Dave, officers said.

That's not funy . . . you ban caffeine and you can bury me right now! I'm series . . .

[annyokie]

I always have to add the sugar myself.

Man is he gonna be angry when he finds out what his fellow inmates put in the prison coffee.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Putting anything in someone's coffee, (should be black), is justifiable homicide in my book.

You know Ruthy. You might be better off to have us fix our own coffee...

[Mears]

Good Lord,you'd never see this type of behaviour at Starbuck's.

Never trust anyone who doesn't sugar his own coffee.

If you're a food service worker, let this be a lesson to you. From this point forward, refuse to add sugar to anyone's coffee.

[savedbygrace]

That's because it's impossible to put too much sugar in Starbucks' over-burnt coffee. You gotta cover the burnt taste somehow.

You just don't mess with a man's coffee.

And sugar! Also, I bet donuts contributed to the situation.

When coffee is outlawed, only outlaws will have coffee!

Strange; I thought handguns were banned in Chicago...

Bookmark the bang_list. This is not a "ping" list (no one maintains a list of interested FReepers). It is a do-it-yourself, see-what's-been-bumped-to-the list. Anyone can bump an article to the list by sending it To: bang_list Then, interested FReepers can (bookmark and) check the list periodically to see new articles. Please do not ask me to "add you to the list." It doesn't work like that. This is better than a ping list because (1) anyone can bump an article to the list, and any interested parties can see the list of articles 24x7.

but.. but... how can this happen. Chigago has major gun banning laws. People can't have guns.

File a lawsuit claiming damages because the "gun laws" didn't save him.

Service is better at Krispy Kreme, too....
