Food cashier hurls obscenities at students

A cashier at the a George Washington University Gourmet Market was detained Sunday night after University Police was called due to inappropriate remarks he made to customers.

GW spokeswoman Tracy Schario said the man was "clearly very drunk." As of 9 p.m., the man was being detained by UPD until a relative could escort him from campus, Schario said.

A witness, who did not want his name printed, said the incident occurred at around 6:30 p.m. He said the suspect directed obscenities toward people in the store, told everyone in the store to leave and said "we can do this the easy way or the f***** way," using a derogatory term for gays. The man became frustrated when the line grew long, and he had trouble giving back change to customers and swiping George Washington World cards.

He did not elaborate on details of the situation. Schario indicated that the detained man might be barred from campus, but a decision would not be made until Monday.

Couldn’t take the heat, could he? College students can be outright cruel and impatient. The real truth is, most people like to watch people in the service industry ‘break-down’ and lose it in public. Admit it- you've been at you’ve been at a restaurant- some guy raises his voice to management- meanwhile, your sitting at your table cheering the guy yelling on, hoping- just hoping he’ll get so mad he’ll do something crazy. Like, flipping his table over and throwing his wine glass at the servers forehead. All of which you want to happen. But it never does. If it did, it'd make for one hell of a good show. Article here.
