Impatient Customer Damages Seattle Restaurant's Property: Sheriff

KING COUNTY, WA — King County deputies are asking the public to help them identify a woman who they said damaged restaurant property after a worker didn't take her order fast enough.

"We're all familiar with the word 'hangry,' which is being hungry and angry. This person just took it to a whole new level," the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.

According to the sheriff's office on Aug. 29, 2021, at 6:10 p.m. a deputy responded to a disturbance in the 10400 block of 16th Avenue SW. This location is a pizza restaurant located in the White Center community of unincorporated King County.

When the deputy arrived, he spoke to an employee who explained that a female customer came into restaurant and wanted to place an order.

Deputies said the worker told the customer that he was busy helping other customers at the moment.

"Apparently, having to wait made the woman furious. The woman pushed over several items in the store, including the store's computerized cash register, damaging it in the process.
The suspect then left in a silver 2013 Honda Accord," deputies said.

Deputies said restaurant video shows the customer pushing over the register over and taking down the plastic partition over the counter.

The woman is described as a Black female, about 6 feet tall, weighing between 200 and 220 lbs. She was last seen wearing a yellow and brown baseball cap, a white shirt and leopard printed shorts.

"Ironically, the shirt she had on had the word 'RESPECT' written on the front," the sheriff's office said via social media.

The damage to the register was $2,000.00, according to the sheriff's office.

If you have any information on the identity of this person, please contact the sheriff's office non-emergency number at 206-296-3311 reference case #C21027159.
