RAMROD 117,004 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 One year after police arrested three restaurant employees at the Popeye’s on Cleveland Avenue in southwest Atlanta, customer Denetra Dawson is taking legal action. “I still don’t understand this. Like, why me?” Dawson said. According to the complaint, Dawson placed an order at the drive-thru and when she realized they got her order wrong, she asked them to correct it. “They come out of the restaurant. She remains in her car. And their objective is to get her to move her car so that they can keep the line moving so that they don’t get in trouble with Popeye’s, their employer,” Attorney Mawuli Davis said. Dawson’s legal team said she waited at the window for her order and that’s when three employees, including a manager, allegedly walked outside and attacked Dawson inside her car and ripped her hair out when she would not move out of the drive-thru line. “One of the employees physically opens her passenger side car door, and enters her vehicle, jumps into her car and begins to attack her. Two other employees, including the manager, open up her car door and they’re all converging on her beating her, punching her, scratching her,” Davis said. An Atlanta Police report says two employees were charged with battery and another with obstruction of an officer. The legal team said Popeye’s failed to do background checks on the employees involved. Their investigation found that the manager, Tenister Evans, had a criminal history. “In 2013, she was convicted of assault. In 2016, another conviction of assault. And multiple other criminal convictions,” Attorney Ed Jones said. Dawson said the incident has caused her excruciating pain and severe emotional distress and she has been receiving counseling. https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2023/08/04/woman-suing-atlanta-popeyes-following-alleged-drive-thru-assault/?outputType=amp https://www.wsbradio.com/news/local/atlanta-woman-filing-lawsuit-against-local-popeyes-restaurant/NY3K7Y5QCZHAJPLSR4JSKHM7XM/ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl 3,575 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 She should have been reasonable and moved out of the drive thru lane and waited in the car park but they should not have assaulted her. Why are so many Americans so self entitled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are so many Americans so self entitled Bc it’s always just a bs excuse for them to provide slower service and get away with it bc corporate sees quicker drive thru times.

Kinda off-topic but the Taco Bell near my house recently started closing their drive-thru and having everyone come inside during busy hours in order to hack the drive-thru times and get those numbers for corporate My old cat is a tough man, but i cant deny the way he bites my hand and he stabs me, he grabs me by my heart <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are so many Americans so self entitled Yeah both were entitled here. When ur asked to move out of drivethru and park cuz ur order is gonna take a while, its just a thing u do. Ur not entitled to keep the line frozen Of course, the attackers share a bigger blame here, cuz this was completely uncalled for. As much as u mignt fear retribution from ur employer for things moving slow, it doesnt justify anything Humanity is totally loosing it. I think our society is too high tech and fast paced for human nature that never had to deal with this much stress and anxiety before that this advanced and capitalist world has brought in the last 150 years. The world is just going nuts and no one has any patience I think nothing proves were not adapted to living like this more than traffic. Ppl totally flip out at the tiniest mistake or error now a d honk like its the end of the world and are in a constant state of anxiety on the road It may seem off topic, but i really think life anxiety made both parties here confrontational. She probably had somewhere to go as were always in a rush, and they were anxious trying to work fast to meet employer expectations and she was in the way of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
