Food caused a number of holiday revelers to lose their cool during the Memorial Day weekend in western Michigan.
Some thirty people were looking for other accommodations over the holiday weekend after they were kicked out of a Michigan hotel.
The Mason County sheriff’s department was called Sunday morning after two women began arguing about who’s turn it was to use the waffle maker in the buffet-style breakfast area at the America’s Best Value Inn near Ludington, Michigan.
“It sounded like one lady walked up and asked the other lady if she was in line for the waffle maker. She didn’t answer so this lady started to make her waffle. The other confronted her and said, ‘That was my waffle’ and the other lady said, ‘No, it’s mine’ and then it went down hill from there,” Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole tells Mlive.
When deputies arrived at the hotel, they found “a large group of people arguing over the waffle maker.”
“The property manager asked that everyone be kicked out of the hotel. All parties involved were ordered to collect their items and they left,” Cole says.
According to Mlive, the roughly 30 guests were from Chicago and the eastern side of Michigan – likely in town for the Memorial Day weekend. There were no injuries nor arrests.
“There was just a lot of yelling and screaming, but no one was assaulted,” according to the sheriff. “They were all asked to leave and the deputy stood by while they did that.”
Meanwhile, the day before, Mason County sheriff’s deputies were called to the Pioneer Party Store in Branch Township after a customer allegedly became irate over ice cream.
The “subject became upset because she felt she did not get enough sprinkles on her ice cream cone and threw the cone at the clerk,” Sheriff Cole tells the Mason County Press.
The woman’s companion attempted to calm her down as she screamed at the clerk. The female reportedly then attempted to hit the male.
The clerk was uninjured.
