Customer Rams Truck into Taco Bell Over Missing Taco

It can be frustrating when your drive-thru food order gets messed up, but it is how an Ohio man handled the mistake that has him facing charges. Police in Huber Heights, Ohio, near Dayton, arrested a man after he rammed his truck into a Taco Bell restaurant.

Employees told police the man became irate when he noticed a taco was missing from his order. Moments later, he drove his truck into the front doors of the restaurant, smashing the glass and bending the door frame.
Officers later arrested the man at his home on felony vandalism charges.

is it fucked up if i know how the guy feels? not that i would ever drive a vehicle through a building, but sometimes the lack of care with the preparation of my food sends me over the edge. like when i go to the drive through and then leave, only to find out that my burger is crazy crooked and a mess with cheese and condiments everywhere and the fries were placed in the bag upside down and are all over the place, and then i realize there's no straw. sometimes i get visions of smashing the burger in the face of the stupid asswipe who made it and then taking a pipe to the face of the guy who packed it. i get 30 minutes to leave the building, find food, wait in line for it, choke it down while stuck in traffic, find a place to park when i return, and be back on the phone. shit like that ruins my entire day if i have to eat a slovenly burger that falls all over me because someone made it like a monkey, and eating a pile of fries from a bag while driving is not what i want to do. some of those assholes seem to take pride in doing a horrible job and ruining my day so it gives me a thrill to fantasize about ruining theirs. we don't all sit at a table like a sir to eat our fast food. if i had time to sit at a table i wouldn't be eating that shit in the first place.

again, i would never actually do this, but that shit really grinds my gears. god bless violent video games for keeping me out of prison.

You see, the problem here is this is being looked at the wrong way. If i didn't receive my taco i would have shown the whole staff what it means to get rammed.

I lived in Huber Heights for a couple of years, can't say I miss it. I kinda sympathize with this guy, even though his reaction was a bit extreme. I mean, yeah it sucks for your order to be screwed up at a fast food joint but it sucks even worse when it happens at an actual restaurant.

Each year, I eat slower food. By choice? (shakes head)

The thing that astounds me about both the OP incident and the posts essentially cheering the act on is the utter lack of a sense of *gradation* or proportion. Get stiffed a taco? Should the response not be in proportion? I'll bet that if Dodge Ram Dude had simply gone around again (or - shiver! - parked, walked in and calmly stated his case) the taco count would have been fixed. Impress a manager with your calm customer-feedback skills and there might even be a "we value your business" kind of coupon in it, good for Lifelike Food Substitute next go-round.

Fast-food workers are humans, mi compadRIUs, overworked ones. A little empathy - ??

I agree Canna. I can't stand to watch someone berate a poor fast food worker over the simplest of mistakes. All you have to do is say "Excuse me...but I ordered ______", and they will fix it. Good grief. People are too wound up. Pick your battles, people. Pick your battles.
