A manager at Cody's Roadhouse, 895 Cortez Road W., reported to deputies that she was beaten by a customer Monday afternoon, an incident that allegedly started over cold mashed potatoes.

The incident began on Sept. 14 when a woman, who was eating in the restaurant with a male and two young girls, became upset when her mashed potatoes were cold and requested a 50 percent discount on her meal, according to a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report.

The manager, the one later assaulted, gave the woman a credit to return at a later time.

On Monday around 4 p.m., the customer entered and requested to talk to the owner. The manager approached the customer, an argument ensued and the customer grabbed the victim's hand and grabbed her around the throat, according to the report.

The unknown female customer then fled in a blue Saab, the report states.

So is he giving this woman credit for returning? ;)

“fled in a blue Saab.” That tells you something!

Yep, I think her credit is gone.

I once put a server in a sleeper hold when my Jumbo Onions On A Stick were not perfectly stacked.

Two of them beat up a waitress at a Red Lobster a couple months ago. In Georgia or somewhere.

Usually people choking you because their potatoes are cold drive red Saabs. Now wrong salad dressing people drive blue Saabs.

Did she eat the mashed potatoes ?

[bicyclerepair]

Wish we could afford potatoes.

I’m lucky I wasn’t drinking something when I read that.

Thanks!

When cold mashed potatoes pushes her button to that extent - I pity her family.

[AppyPappy]

She was disrespected.

[blueunicorn6]

You’re welcome. Have a nice weekend.

Was that her problem? I don’t think the cook or server knew who she was that they chose to disrespect her. She, however, is well trained in disrespecting herself while being dangerous to others. She’s a nutcase, IMO.
