A McDonald's manager in Ohio completely lost her cool when she threw a blender into the face of an angry customer following an altercation.
Last month customer Brittany Price went through the McDonald's drive-thru to buy some Happy Meals and cheeseburgers, but after receiving the wrong meal she went insideto sort the issue.
But when she went in to complain she was ignored for 23 minutes by staff.
Losing her patience, she hurled the bag of food at a manager.
But as the customer went to turn the manager then threw a blender at Price, hitting her in the face and leaving her needing surgery.
The victim was left with a shattered cheekbone and nose.

Speaking to WPBF, Price said she was struck so hard she was knocked to the ground.
'It's like, you're directly ignoring me, so what choice do I have? I don't have to put up with this.
"So, I went and got the food, I want my money back and that's kind of where it all goes from there."
Asked if she regretted hurling the food at the manager, Price added: "I mean, I definitely don't feel like there would have been a different result.
"I feel like even if we would have just went verbal back and forth that it still would've escalated to something else."
The injured customer's lawyer has now filed a civil lawsuit against McDonald's.
A McDonald's spokesperson said they are investigating.
"The safety of our customers and employees is of utmost importance to us. 'We are looking into this matter and will take the appropriate steps once our investigation is complete."
