In a startling incident that unfolded in Louisville, Kentucky, a seemingly simple request for extra sauce led to chaos and substantial damage at a local Little Caesars. Breanna Haynes ordered her pizza over the phone in January. However, when she arrived at the store and was told she would need to pay an additional dollar for extra sauce, her response was anything but typical. According to a recent report from WDRB, Haynes “created a disturbance” and caused damage estimated at over $1,000. She knocked over items from the counter, including a custom computer stand and cash register, before leaving the store. Little Caesars employees promptly reported her actions, providing police with her name and video evidence of the incident.
Initially charged with criminal mischief, Haynes’s troubles intensified months later. On September 22, she was arrested after allegedly throwing a brick at her child’s father’s car due to a disagreement over a potential move to Cincinnati. This act reportedly resulted in another $1,000 in damages, further compounding her legal issues. Charged again with assault and criminal mischief, Haynes’s behavior raises questions about her decision-making process, especially as her earlier outburst over sauce mirrors past incidents.
Such overreactions to sauce requests are not rare. In 2020, a woman at a Burger King in Texas erupted when asked to pay for extra sauce, littering the restaurant with straws, cups, and lids in response. An employee, caught on video, remarked, “She’s being ghetto,” only to provoke a fierce comeback from the woman who shouted back. In 2017, a Taco Bell in Ohio became the backdrop for turmoil after a customer insisted on getting an extra pack of mild sauce, causing a drive-thru traffic jam when she refused to leave the line despite the restaurant being out of that flavor. Police had to step in to explain to her that further action at the drive-thru would not resolve the situation.
These incidents highlight a troubling trend. A demand for something seemingly minor can spiral into significant confrontations and property damage. Haynes’s story, along with others, serves as a reminder of how adverse reactions over trivial matters can lead to dire consequences, both legally and socially.
