This makes me boil.

There is an employee, trying to make a living. Just trying to do a job and get paid.

Then these two pieces of human filth come in there and decide they have been somehow “disrespected” and act like they are three years old.

I only wish the manager had thrown the hot oil in the deep fryer on them.

"She got it from a sink faucet."

Then it wasn't boiling. It was simply 'hot'...

Oh yeah the video shows the customer had gotten behind the counter... What was she doing back there? The article said nothing about that provocation. The article only mentioned that the manager came from behind the counter to chase the angry customer out of the store. So I have to wonder what kind of conversation that was happening there behind the counter. What did the angry customer say that would trigger the manager to come from behind the counter carrying a 2 gallon plastic pitcher full of hot faucet water and scald her out the door.

The rest of the story would be interesting.

When I worked at McDonald’s some 50 years ago, I can remember at least 3 or 4 times when one or another of the managers physically threw a customer out. Nobody on either side called the cops.

Looks like she dipped it out of a sink or basin type thing.

And it was steaming at the time and at the counter, too.

The source may have been some utensil/equipment sanitizing station, using (unknown) temp hot water.

The manager saved herself a trip to the Emergency Room and probably a stay in the hospital when she ran those skanks out. I’m on her side.

Flag on the field!

I know of no fire code that would allow doors to be locked and not allow people out of the building an emergency. Otherwise known as I don’t think they were locked in the building

I worked at Taco Bell as a teen so this goes way back but I do believe they’re steam tables where they keep the hot ingredients for tacos and whatnot do indeed use rather hot water. I also remember it being several gallons. So if they were changing that water out I could see them having some rather hot water available.

They better get that water heater fixed. Since water heaters don’t make boiling hot water unless they’re broken

They were locked in the dining room.

That story sounds like the woman that tried to brake a million dollar bill at the bank think it was in Detroit Rush spoke of it.

The manager came from behind the counter and poured the hot water on the victims and as the victims tried to leave the locked dining room...

Don't lie in court when then video shows otherwise.

Even Crump is smarter than that.

Imagine how much worse their injuries would have been if the manager had poured boiling cold water on them.

(utterly amateurish headline)

I know a guy who was banned for life at a grand opening of a new gentlemens club.

Around 30 ladies were lined up on both sides of a red carpet and he copped a feel from every single one as he ran by.

Water temperature from the tap is 120*
However, in a commercial setting they do have industrial water heaters that go to 180* to clean the floors.

You don’t get seizures from being burned. Something else is going on.

” Water temperature from the tap is 120* However, in a commercial setting they do have industrial water heaters that go to 180* to clean the floors.”

Water temperature from the tap varies according to the setting on the water heater. Maybe modern heaters limit the temperature to 120, or some nanny state do-gooders regulate it, but mine at this moment measures 135 degrees.

I’m not surprised that there are industrial heaters that can go to higher temperatures, but I’ll submit that 180 is not ‘boiling’. It’s very hot, dangerous to skin and all that, but it’s not ‘boiling hot’.

I not crazy about living in an era when words have lost their meaning.

Sure looks to me like they ran out after the incident.
