A woman who threw hot soup at an employee in a Temple, Texas restaurant was arrested Wednesday and charged with assault. As is now often the case, the abusive behavior might have gone unpunished were it not for viral video of the coup de soup.
After calling to complain, Martinez "returned to the restaurant and started a verbal altercation," police said. During the altercation, Martinez stated the soup she picked up was hot and that the plastic lid placed on top of it had melted.

"She then proceeded to throw the soup at the victim and left before officers arrived," police said.
Adds local Deputy Police Chief Allen Teston: "If a citizen believes they have received poor service we advise them to remain civil until the problem is resolved."
The customer, identified as Amanda Nicole Martinez, 31, has also been banned for life by Sol De Jalisco.
Correction: Temple is in Texas, not Arizona.
