Ay! Ay! Eye!

From the Labor Relations Desk, here's a story out of Spartanburg, South Carolina, where, the other day, a Taco Bell employee crowned his boss with a burrito.

Let's back up, because it's not like a fast food worker would just wing a flying burrito at his superior just for no reason at all, no sir. 

The others who *still* work at the Bell say the wrap tosser did not like the work schedule that he was given, and also that he was arguing with some co-workers, which is always a dead giveway that meat, cheese, and refried beans are about to fly across the room. The way WYFF TV news reported it, the breaking point came when the boss told him to "stop being a crybaby" about having to work the morning shift.

Well, I mean, after all. Working the morning shift would have meant his afternoons were free, allowing him more time to visit libraries and museums, but anyway.

A man can only stand for so much derision, so this fellow armed himself with one of the many tasty varieties of burritos and let it fly. For the sake of the boss, let us hope the atomic warhead was not the vaunted XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito (pictured at right), which for the low-low price of $4.49, weighs heaven knows what, and packs a meaty, cheesy 870 calories. It's got your seasoned beef, your basic three-cheese blend, rice, refried beans, reduced fat sour cream, guacamole, avocado ranch, and pico de gallo, wrapped in a flour burrito and grilled.

Good thing they use that low-fat sour cream! 

The Flying Burrito Bros
were among the first country-
rock bands in the late 60s.
It's not known if this Taco Bell
employee had been listening
to their music at the time.

The local cops wrote in their report that, fortunately, the supervisor had "had turned away when melted cheese splattered on the employee’s arm and side." 

The unnamed employee was also accused of "making a mess in the kitchen," although many South Carolina legal observers are indicating that a case can be made for the preexistence of a mess in that very kitchen.

The nature of fast food employment being as it is, chances are, the guy will be back working there soon, with his first task being to clean up some really ganky dried beef, rice, refried beans, sour cream, guacamole, avocado ranch, and pico de gallo from the kitchen walls and the boss's eyeglasses.
