I was considering purchasing some sweet ‘n sour pork from the Chinese place next door for lunch today, but today’s Case of the Mondays has me on the fence.

Tiawanda Shears is suing Hui Tian Wu and New China Wok Limited, a Chinese restaurant near the Chicago area, for a spat of violence ignited by a request for additional condiments. According to the complaint:

Plaintiff’s request for more sauce packets caused Wu to become enraged and he came from behind the pick-up counter and attacked plaintiff Shears.

She says she “politely requested more sauce packets” and Wu lost it. Wu forcefully ejected Shears through a glass door, which shattered, causing severe injury to her leg. I’d hate to see what would have happened if they forgotten the fortune cookies.

So, Johnny Rockets for lunch, anyone?.
