Restaurant owner tosses plate at customer for griping about food

Police were called to the El Rancho Alegre Café, or "The Happy Ranch Cafe," after a customer complained he was served a beef milanesa plate, instead of chicken. The owner told him to pay anyway, and a food/tea-tossing fight ensued. (KRGV.com)

Note on bottom of Menu:

The name "Happy Ranch Cafe" in no way represents a promise or commitment of pleasant or joyful attitude, and should not be construed as a guarantee of upbeat customer service.

The original name of the restaurant was "The Angry and Not Afraid to Show it and Throw it Cafe", but it turns out that name was trademarked by McDonalds(TM), so we went with this shorter version.

Please enjoy your dinner. Whichever dinner we bring you. Or else.

Bye bye Happy Ranch, we hardly knew ye.

In a business such as the restaurant industry where it is hard enough to just stay afloat for the first 7 years, it amazes me that people with her attitude could ever think that they could start in the first place. Obviously if she is that worried about the loss of food cost, her business was most likely on its last days anyway.

Actually, I beleive it is more along the lines of, "The views on the sign and menue reflect in no way the views of the management. Any resemblance to any real or...."
