A Bronx woman is suing the White Castle hamburger chain after an angry employee allegedly doused her with boiling water at the Harlem outlet.
Carolyn Brennan, now 35, suffered first- and second-degree burns in the attack at 2092 Seventh Ave., her lawyer said.
The incident began when Brennan ordered an egg and cheese sandwich - with no bread - on Dec. 1, 2001, according to the suit filed in Bronx Supreme Court. Counter worker Tasha Adams took offense and the two women got into an argument, the papers say.
Adams' co-workers stopped her first attempt to throw a cup of hot water at Brennan, but not the second, the lawsuit says.
"Ms. Adams made it known that she was going to hurt my client," said Brennan's attorney, Frank Winston. "The White Castle manager could have escorted her out, but she was left in the store."
White Castle attorney Paul Fino said only that the case would be decided in court. Adams could not be reached for comment.
Winston said his client reported the incident to cops, but that Adams wasn't arrested.
White Castle customer Carolyn Brennan shows off burn marks she says she received in 2001 after counter worker at Harlem outlet reportedly threw boiling water on her.

I bet she was being a complete bitch before she got boiled. That is why I can't work in the service industry. I would be chunking coffee pots and beer bottles at every patron that pissed me off.

I would personally take the scalding over one of their burgers.

Your client also could have left the store on her own!
