COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Two suspects are accused of rob- bery after they allegedly became enraged over their order at a Chipotle restau- rant in the Brewery District.
On Tuesday, March 28, Columbus police responded to reports of a rob- bery on the 400 block of South High Street, near East Livingston Avenue. There, two customers reportedly became enraged over an order in which they
demanded more cheese.
The suspects cornered one employee and ripped off her hat, then engaged in a fight when other employees came to the first employee’s aid. One of the sus- pects pulled out a gun while the other suspect repeatedly said, “shoot them.”
They then dam- aged the restau- rant by throwing chair and trash cans. On their way out of the restaurant one of the suspects took a cellphone from a person.
The suspects left the scene without receiving extra cheese.

April 3 (UPI) -- The owner of a ramen noodle eatery in Japan said he is banning customers from using their phones in order to speed up seating times -- and pre- serve the integrity of the dish.
Kota Kai, owner and opera- tor of Tokyo eatery Debu- chan, said he noticed the customers who waited the longest to dig into the bowls of ramen noodles placed in front of them tended to be watching YouTube videos on their phones.
Kai said he was concerned not only about customers tying up valuable seating space during peak hours,
but about the way thin Hakata ramen
noodles stretch out and are ruined after too many min- utes in the soup.
The restaurant owner first pitched the idea of a smart- phone ban on Twitter, and positive responses led to his enacting the policy.
Kai said he is not posting any signs about the phone ban, but he has started speaking to customers indi- vidually about keeping their phones put away during mealtime.
"I feel it's entertainment that is bound to include rules," Kai told CNN. "It's like, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Ramen is a form of entertainment."
