Alabama Starbucks Employee Bitten By Monkey In Drive-Thru Line

An Alabama Starbucks employee was bitten by a monkey in the drive-thru line. You'd never expect that to happen!

The drive-thru line can be a crazy place, whether it's for coffee or fast-food. People are hungry or need their caffeine and that can bring out the worst in us. I've seen fights break out in drive-thru lines and sometimes it's between 2 different customers in different vehicles or it can even be between a customer and an employee at the restaurant. Anything is possible. However, with all the drama you expect to see in a drive-thru line you never expect to see an employee bitten by a monkey! However, that's what happened to a Starbucks employee in Tillman's Corner, Alabama just outside of Mobile.

Lagniappe Mobile reports that the incident happened around 8:30am on January 10th and the Mobile Police Department was called to respond to an incident at the Starbucks on Rangeline Road near Halls Mill Road after a customer's pet monkey leapt out of their vehicle in the drive-thru lane and went into the drive-thru window and attacked an employee! That employee ended up needing stitches and vaccinations after the bite. It sounds like the monkey ran up her arm up to her head and started biting her. Thankfully, another co-worker was able to grab the monkey and threw it back out the drive-thru window.

Mobile Police Department Public Information Officer Blake Brown tells Lagniappe Mobile, "It was discovered that another employee was able to pull the monkey from the employee. The monkey then re-entered the customer's vehicle before the customer drove away." How can you just drive off after that? Your monkey just bit a lady! Brown says the owner of the animal could face charges and there is an investigation ongoing with Animal Services. The employee who was attacked suffered bites on her hands and a laceration to her ear which did require stitches.

The victim tells Lagniappe Mobile, "I was working in the drive-through when the lady came through with [two] monkeys in her car. I had never interacted with her before and had her drink ready. They pulled up to the window and as soon as she rolled down her window, one monkey just jumped out and up to my hand and started [gnawing] on my hand." Don't let your monkey loose in the drive-thru line!

Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you're on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there's nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.

We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I've seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald's bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day...we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.

I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I'd say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old "back in my day, we'd walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. "When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!"

After years of research, I've finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you'll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the 'miscellaneous' category. Without further delay, let's get to the list!

Bacon...mayo...crispy lettuce...what's not to love? It's one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it's on the value menu.

It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

It's actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that's for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.

It's delicious and it's only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.

It's a rare treat to enjoy Culver's Cheese Curds. It's a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can't get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver's I have to stop and get some.
