If there's a dispute at a fast-food restaurant, odds are good that someone is going to wind up throwing food. It happened a couple weeks ago at a McDonald's in Connecticut, and now we've had another incident at an Auntie Anne's pretzel shop in the Detroit suburb of Troy, Mich. According to the Detroit Free Press, a customer at an Auntie Anne's realized she'd received the incorrect dipping sauce for her pretzel. The dispute escalated, an employee flung nacho cheese at the angry customer, the customer vaulted the counter, and property damaged ensued. The company's president took to YouTube to apologize, and Detroit-area locations will be giving out free dip, which hopefully won't be thrown at anyone.

Meanwhile in Connecticut, a guy got really high on PCP and stole $137 worth of Easter baskets from Walmart. The thief, identified as Antonio Sanabria, wasn't trying to be the Easter equivalent of the Grinch; he explained in a brief interview that the drugs "made me lose my mind." Police say he stole a shopping cart with ten baskets, and was found in the parking lot trying to sell them. Sanabria pled guilty to sixth-degree larceny and was released. PCP has been known to drive people to cannibalism, so he can consider himself lucky that snatching some Easter baskets was the worst of his drug-induced crimes.
Easter Egg Bandit at Walmart Remember the scene in Pulp Fiction where a couple of gun-toting bandits demand that all the patrons of a diner hand over their wallets? An armed thief in Miami tried the same scheme, but didn't consider Floridians' penchant for packing heat. Police say Travis Harris walked into a Burger King and demanded a family's valuables at gunpoint. When he left the restaurant, the father followed him outside and shot him in the leg.
