FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KMOV) – Paramedics treated a server at a Red Lobster in Fairview Heights on Friday after a customer threw a water glass at her head.
It happened at the Red Lobster in the 110 block of Ludwig Drive around 2 p.m.

A witness said she saw three female customers get mad because the server was filling up their glasses with water too often. According to the witness, as the server walked away one of them picked up a water glass and threw it, hitting the victim in the back of the head.

The witness said as the server turned around, the customer hit her in the face with one of the dessert books. The server was treated by a paramedic, but did not go to the hospital and stayed at work. Police arrived to the scene and arrested the three suspects.

The incident comes just six months after a cell phone video captured four female customers beating up a server at the same restaurant over what they deemed bad service.

In that incident, the victim ended up with cuts on her nose, a swollen eye and was forced to miss a few days of work.

Fairview Heights is just north of Belleville, and the area as a whole is basically the east side of st. Louis. This Red Lobster is right off I64, and the area is where a lot of the ghetto comes up from East St. Louis to go somewhere nice.

It's all relative. McDonalds would be a gourmet feast to an Indian street person.

You beat them for bad service, you beat them for good service...

Keep sending them mixed signals like that and you'll end up with mediocre service.

So this is moving on up from all the riots at McD, Burger King, KFC, etc. I reckon.

I love servers that keep my water glass full all the time as that is all I drink and I drink a lot of water.

Working in customer service is an all around nightmare. People will take the opportunity to abuse you for any stupid, easy fix issue. The more "affluent" people resort to screaming and swearing. The ghetto trash get physical. They're all entitled animals just the same who treat their server as their personal slave. These waitresses really don't make anywhere near as much as they deserve.

Endless shrimp is serious business.

Death should be the punishment. Clean the gene pool. We need some good pool cleaners.

Or, much more likely, no service.

Red Lobster is trashy people's version of a nice restaurant. Went there once, never again. Too expensive and not even good food.

I don't really enjoy seafood so I can't comment on most of the food, but I do think they have some amazing biscuits.

Holy fuck, people are fucking crazy.

That's what she gets for trying to get them to fill up on water instead of the endless shrimp they paid for.

Protip: Don't offer endless shrimp if you can't afford to sell it.

still doesn't justify the customer's behavior if they didn't tell her to stop.

There is much truth to this. I am very thankful I got out of dealing with customers

It sounds like the waiter must have said something to the customers that got them to retaliate. The server got exactly what she wanted, a lawsuit.
