El Paso Woman Melts Down at Tropical Smoothie Café
Earlier this month, one woman in
El Paso was caught on multiple devices, causing a scene in a local
Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
The woman, who has been identified as 45-year-old Pamela Underwood, became irate after an employee reportedly touched her cellphone while helping Underwood.
The customer can be seen demanding a refund for unknown reasons-maybe the smoothie was too smooth? The conversation gets heated, and Underwood becomes angrier and angrier, yelling, swearing, and using racially charged language.
As the cashier gives Underwood her refund, she instructs her to leave the store, which she complies, right before chunking her smoothie right into the poor cashier s face and chest.
After a little more than two years in business, the Burgerim at 3811 Fairfax Drive is closed.
Thanks to a reader tip, we can confirm that the restaurant closed before the new year. It opened on the ground floor of a Virginia Square office building in the fall of 2017, and is among a handful of Burgerim locations that have closed over the past year in Virginia.
At its peak Israel-based Burgerim had hundreds of locations throughout the country. It was listed as the fastest growing burger chain in the country in 2019, but that same year faced bankruptcy as its CEO fled the U.S. for Israel amid allegations of deceptive sales practices against franchise owners by promising unrealistic profits.
