LAWTON, Okla_An attack with
a slushy on a gas station clerk left her shaken up, but knocked out the
station's ability to operate its gas pumps. This bizarre incident was caught on
tape at the Hop n Sack gas station on Southeast
45th Street.
Her boss said
other than being a little shaken up she's doing just fine. However he said his
high dollar gas machine almost wasn't after it short circuited after it was
drenched by the drink. He said the store lost hundreds of dollars in gas sales
until the machine could be repaired the following morning.
Despite a rough
night we found the sales clerk who just hours ago had been drenched in a blue
mess outside the store enjoying a much needed break. The break surely needed
after a night when she was doused with a sticky drink.
According to
the clerk's boss, the encounter started after a woman in a black shirt came to
the store with a friend looking for a fight with the clerk behind the counter.
The clerk asked
the woman, a former schoolmate, to leave. The woman stepped out for a short
period but then came back in with her friend. The two women wait in line to pay
for their drinks, when suddenly the woman in the black hurls her drink at the
unsuspecting cashier. The two women immediately walk away with one of them
turning around only to smile at their victim.
The clerk wipes
her face and calls her boss to tell him what has just happened.
The store's
owner said he's thankful his clerk wasn't seriously injured and that the
incident happened just before closing time. The store opened at five a.m. Tuesday
morning and the gas machine was repaired around 11.
Police have identified the woman who threw the slush, but the clerk said
since Monday's attack, she's moved back to Georgia.
