Them's Fighting Words

By: AF Editors

From the Chicago Sun Times:

Charging an extra $3 to pour cheese topping into a bag of Fritos recently led to a scuffle at a Tinley Park gas station.

At about 6:16 a.m. Friday, Darryl Lust Jr., 25, 15145 S. Honore Ave., Harvey, was waiting in line at Speedway, 7201 W. 183rd St., to buy a can of ice tea and bag of Fritos oozing with cheese.

When the manager told him he’d have to pay a few more bucks for the topping, Lust wouldn’t say whether he was willing to foot the extra cash, according to a police report. The manager then threw Lust’s creation in the garbage.

That’s when Lust knocked over the can of ice tea toward the manager, who came around the counter toward Lust to calm him down, police said.

Granted, if someone were messing with my dairy products I might snap too…
