PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (WSVN) — Viral video of a fight pitting a server at a restaurant near Fort Myers against her customer has prompted the business to come to the employee’s defense.
The surveillance video captured the customer walking toward the server while carrying a to-go bag outside Leroy’s Southern Kitchen & Bar in Punta Gorda, Sunday afternoon.
Seconds later, the customer smacked the server in the head with the bag, triggering a fight between the two women.
“What the [expletive] is wrong with you?” the server is heard telling the customer.
It’s unclear why she went on the attack, but police said the customer received a civil citation.
The restaurant posted a message on Instagram stating that it stands behind its employees and will not tolerate harassment.
