Tony Carr wanted to pay for his burger. Instead, police say, he ended up smooshing the microwaved patty in a store clerk's face. Police have issued an arrest warrant for Carr, 37, of Berwick, Maine. He's charged with simple assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors.
Investigators say Carr got angry on Nov. 28 when the clerk at a Cumberland Farms would not allow him to pay for a hamburger while it was heating in the store microwave. Police said the clerk, Scott Litzenberger, told Carr he had to bring the burger to the counter 15 feet away to pay for it.
After a sharp exchange of words, the man walked back to the microwave, removed the steaming burger and walked back to Litzenberger.
The two apparently exchanged a few brief words again, when the customer, "just lost it," according to another clerk. Instead of paying for it, Carr shoved it into the clerk's face, burning his face and eye, police Sgt. Anthony Triano said.
"That time of night, you tend to get people who are belligerent. They want things they can't have and we just try and do our job," said Bill Rollo, another clerk at the store.
Rollo said when he showed up to relieve Litzenberger, "he had a burned eye and eyeball. It was all red."
Rollo had gone on vacation later that week and was due back at the store Thursday.
"I'm sure he's fine now. I know he got it taken care of that night," Rollo said.
LOL, certain things dont need to be admitted in public.
I'm just standing up for my rights as a consumer.

(Sound of screeching tires as the customer drives away, loses control of his car, hits a tree and dies.)
Attendant: Would you like fries with that? Hello? Oh well. Next!
Don't go back just yet, heard a rumor today that Wendys will not put a tomato slice on your burger unless you ask for it. I think the high price of tomatos has something to do with it.
Burger Time! My roommate in college dug his Intellivision out of storage and we'd play that once in awhile.
At the time Nintendo, Tecmo Bowl tournaments were also being run in the dorm. The guys a year or two younger were much better at the controller so I always got beat up pretty bad.
You have to go to a fast food place in Memphis to understand.
He said "why?" Answer: "The truck doesn't come until tomorrow."
He said "Do you see that huge QFC supermarket 200 feet away, across the parking lot? They're open 24 hours."
Response: "Do you think they have tomatoes? I don't know how to buy tomatoes."
Customer service.
Ping. This thread is crying for your presence.
I hope they tossed this guy in the Patty Wagon!
(Hamburger Puns heh heh heh)
OK, I surrender. Don't hit me.
I'm sidin with the perp on this one.
I went a Mexican food restaurant that had posted that their recipes were temporarily being changed to minimize or exclude tomatoes due to rising prices which are the result of the Florida area being hit by hurricanes which wrecked the tomato supply.
I expect salsa and ketchup to soar.
Not been to a grocery store myself this week but the prices I have heard are over four bucks a lb for fresh tomatos.
