Things got heated at the Meteor Buffet in Huntsville, Ala., Friday evening when patience grew thin and tempers flared up into a physical altercation in the crab leg line. Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson was at the restaurant, and he told WHNT that the resulting fight included two people using tongs as swords as they battled it out over crab meat.

“Literally as I sat down and maybe took two bites out of my plate, there’s a woman who’s beating a man. People are moving around, plates are shattering everywhere,” Johnson said.

“Everyone was saying, ‘They cut me in line. She cut me in line. He cut me in line. I was here first,’” Johnson continued.

The woman in question—Chequita Jenkins—and her opponent, John Chapman, both reportedly admitted to Johnson later that they had allowed their tempers to get the best of them after having waited in line for 10-20 minutes waiting for more crab legs to be brought out.

“They’d been waiting there for the crab legs for a good 10, 20 minutes. When they finally came out, it’s very heated. Especially if someone is taking more than their fair share,” Johnson said.

Both of them have problems if they waited 10 to 20 minutes in line at a Buffet for some crab legs.

Chapman, who suffered a minor cut to his forehead, was booked on one count of disorderly conduct.
Jenkins, who was uninjured, was charged with third-degree assault.


Any bets these two will be hearing from the buffet's lawyer?

I steer away from buffets these days. People are just too weird when it comes to acting out in public.

I witnessed fairly crude behavior at a Chinese buffet many years ago. I observed a guy walking back to his table with the WHOLE PAN (in fact, the only pan) of potstickers that were just placed in the buffet area. He had one other person at the table with him. People were justifiably angry, as you could hear comments through out the restaurant. There was potential for conflict, but no one challenged him. You could see him smiling all the way back to his table, and the manager did nothing.

Cut in line = fork in neck, if line cutter doesn't promptly vacate upon being asked nicely.

Heck, if I owned the buffet there would be a sign to that effect over the buffet, and when prepaying for the buffet there would be an indemnity waiver acknowledging the rights of other patrons to neck fork any or all line cutters that don't vacate after being asked to do so. Line cutters would be banned from buffet for life, and first neck forker for each valid line cutting would receive a free pass to a future buffet.

Simple, effective deterrents simply work effectively.

OK, it may need a little tweaking around the edges to conform with local laws, but it's a valid premise... :-)

Businesses are afraid to offend anyone these days. If they aren’t being robbed, “the customer is always right.”

They don't call that town "Huntsvegas" for nothing.
