Related: About this forumCucumber Rage Leads To Man's Arrest At Wendy's
Don't mess with the cucumbersIncensed that there were not enough cucumbers in his salad, a Pennsylvania man allegedly threatened the life of a Wendys employee and later sought to drive away from the fast food eatery while a police officer had his arm inside the suspects vehicle, according to court records.
Police say that Theodore Gunderson, 58, entered the Wendys in Earl Township around 3:40 PM Sunday and ordered a salad.
Upon receiving his grub, the 58, 240-pound Gunderson immediately caused a disturbance in the business by throwing the salad at an employee because the salad did not have enough cucumbers, a probable cause affidavit charges.
Gunderson then threatened the employee, saying, If I had a gun or a knife you would be the first to go.

(18,470 posts)6. One night ten years ago I was at a Wendys
And a guy came in and threw a fit because of something the person working the drive through said. It got so bad a young couple in the place called the police. He was able to talk his way out of a one way trip to the jail after the young couple didn't want to press charges. I still kick myself that I didn't insist on charges being filed against his ass.
