FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KMOV) – Paramedics treated a server at a Red Lobster in Fairview Heights on Friday after a customer threw a water glass at her head.

It happened at the Red Lobster in the 110 block of Ludwig Drive around 2 p.m.

A witness said she saw three female customers get mad because the server was filling up their glasses with water too often.

According to the witness, as the server walked away one of them picked up a water glass and threw it, hitting the victim in the back of the head.

The witness said as the server turned around, the customer hit her in the face with one of the dessert books.

The server was treated by a paramedic, but did not go to the hospital and stayed at work.

Customers and restaurant employees made sure the women stayed put until police arrived. Officers then arrested the three suspects.

Police took the suspects into custody and said they were still trying to sort things out before deciding what charged will be filed.

The incident comes just six months after a cell phone video captured four female customers beating up a server at the same restaurant over what they deemed bad service.

In that incident, the victim ended up with cuts on her nose, a swollen eye and was forced to miss a few days of work.

Amish?

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I hope the server gets some experience, and finds better employment at a place where violent lowlifes can’t afford to eat

However, you will still have to worry about violent lowlife democrat politicians making passes and “sandwhiching” you.

Rename the restaraunt “The Dead Lobster.”

Bad clams?

If Obama had three grown daughters ...

It’s Chucky Cheese all over again.

They are mad the waiter/waitress was filling their water glasses too often??? The service was too good, the service was too frequent????? Really????

One frequent complaint about restaurants is that the service isn’t always so good. I wonder if there is more to the story than too frequent attention by the waitstaff????

Crabs?...yes I went there.

I noticed the ladies arrested in handcuffs are Black. I wonder if the server was White? Just curious.

Some how, some way this has to be the fault of George Bush...

Yeah, I’ve never had my glass filled to often, too seldom yes, to often never.

Maybe the waitress made the mistake of smiling?

The race card? Really?

And I thought women were just bad tippers.

If I was the one that was hit in the back of the head with a full tumbler of water and sent to the hospital, I'd be filing assault with a deadly weapon charges against this sterling example of Obama’s and Holder's people. Put this darling behind bars for awhile and see if her attitude improves with some quality time with her bros and sistahs.

No doubt taking advantage of their annual All You Can Eat Shrimp Festival.

Did not know Red Lobster took EBT.

Africanized females. Whoda thunk.

Generally always my first guess nowadays. Almost 100% right too. Way, way, way higher than mere coincidence.

PAY DAY! Screw them wenchs until they can’t make their gas to collect their OBAMA Bucks.

Yeah, I’ve never had my glass filled to often, too seldom yes, to often never.

Not that I'm condoning what this idiot did, but I have had the experience where the waiter just won't leave you alone for even 5 minutes without coming by and offering more water, asking if you need anything else, etc. Hard to have a conversation or even enjoy your meal when they're right on you like that. Never occurred to me to throw a glass at his head, though.

[Safetgiver]

Uhhh....... I didn’t get them at Red Lobster.
