Free Taco Bell Etiquette Lesson

A Taco Bell patron grabbed a fellow diner around the throat and struck him with a chair after accusing the victim of not excusing himself after he burped inside the South Carolina eatery.

Isaiah Morris, 20, told cops that he and a friend were “sitting in a booth eating” Sunday afternoon when an unknown white male asked if he “had just belched and not said excuse me,” according to a Tega Cay Police Department report.

When Morris (seen at right) asked the man what he had said, the attacker picked up a chair and struck Morris in the elbow. Morris said that the man then grabbed him by the throat and tried to head-butt him. At that point, Cara Martin, a 17-year-old Taco Bell worker, interceded and ordered the man to leave the restaurant.

Martin told police that the assailant drove off in a white vehicle that “was possibly a pick up,” though witnesses were not able to record its tag number.

A cop noted observing a “minor abrasion” on Morris’s elbow and “redness around his throat.” The investigator added that the Taco Bell manager “advised that he did not believe that the surveillance cameras were able to record the incident.” As a result, police have administratively closed the assault and battery case (though it could be reopened if any leads developed).

Guerrilla marketing is really going too far.

Do not stain the dignity of Taco Bell with your poor manners, brehs.

what kind of belch are we talking here

like, a tiny pop, or one that gets you through most of the alphabet

There are probably a couple scenarios here:

1) Taco Bell victim had previously been "entertaining" his dining partner and, by extension, the rest of the patrons dining in the establishment with his Baja Blast induced burping skills. After hearing a half dozen or so juicy, resonant blasts, the perpetrator used the lack of manners and continued lack of consideration and reflection as an excuse to enact swift South of the Border Justice on the belcher.

2) Bath salts.

I expect a certain level of class from fellow patrons at Taco Bell. When I go I bring my own dining cloth as well the wifi device of my fancy (previously an iPod Touch, now an iPhone 4S. I'm getting fancier and fancier). I doubt I would physically assault someone in that situation, but I'd at least call the police.

Most likely a ' I drank baja blast for 9 seconds' kind of burp. Shit's offensive, brehs.

Tastes just as good coming up as going down.

This aggression will not stand.

[Diunx]

That fucking asshole got on my nerves! you don't do that kind of disgusting shit while other people are trying to enjoy their chicken chalupas

[Phoenix Dark]

Aren't you on probation Diunx? Cars, chairs...what's next.

The first comment:

Isaiah Morris
I'm Isaiah Morris and m the one who was attacked. It's very funny this is getting national news. To clear the air I did not belch. This man was saying gibberish and was unaware of what was going on. His wife said she was sorry and that he didn't know what he was doing. I don't have the best manners but I did not belch
