The only thing worse than an overcooked meal is almost getting punched for complaining about it.
A customer at a Taco Bell in Miami, Fla, filmed a female employee yelling at him and seemingly trying to assault him, allegedly after he had complained about an order. She appears to try and take a swing at him, but is held back by other employees.
The video ends with her coworkers pushing her into the bathroom while she continues to shout obscenities at the customer.

Francisco Hernandez claims that the incident began when he complained about his chalupa, 7 New in Miami reports. He told the outlet that he ordered the item but it was overcooked. “I was so hungry I ate it, and all the stuff just fell on the paper,” he said. “I just claimed that the items were not prepared correctly, and then I mentioned my waiting time was past normal.”
