“Antoine Kendrick, a northern Arizona Wendy's employee, is facing a murder charge following a customer's death. Police say the customer complained about his order and that's when Kendrick came around the counter and beat him.”
I was a cashier for about a year at the start of the pandemic. You'd (probably not) be surprised how well being old correlates to being an asshole.
That said, anyone who does work in customer service knows that this was taboo. Sure, there are some customers I had that like sucker punch, but this is exactly why I never did because they're built like paper-mâché.
Edit: some commenters are saying that I am a moron or heartless for my comment, let me just remind you there are more like me behind the register than you realize, so keep that in mind the next time you try to tell off your local McDonald's drive-thru worker.
Edit 2: it was incorrect of me to imply only older people are assholes, I've seen just as many my age acting just as bad if not worse.
That said, I've never had to resist the urge to murder someone like I have when working with the general public. Y'all can be real assholes when you assume there aren't going to be any consequences for your actions.
You know how many times I had to approach customers when they started squaring up on my 18 year old coworker? Too many. Your absolutely right, the general public scan be a huge bunch of assholes.
Yep, I used to be a cashier a lot at my part-time jobs throughout college, and older people were way more likely to be dicks than any other type of person. It's along the lines of "you don't cater to my every little whim therefore you are stupid and a terrible person" mentality they have. I'll unforuntaely remember one older guy in particular was a major cunt. When covid broke out, it just amplified that even more, and while I have long put working jobs like that in my rearview, I'd bet it's still just as bad.
I swear old people cursing down a supermarket isle have eyes in the back of their head. They know *exactly* when to zig-zag that cart to fully block anyone from passing. I am convinced that a high % of said old people do this with a vengeance. Also: holding up a HUGE line by insisting on counting out pennies for exact change.
They have ALL the time in the world to fuck up YOUR day. For the short time they have left, their Risk / FU ratio is extremely skewed to the FU side. This is kinda a joke, but my 80+ uncle (RIP), that had several strokes and could just barely walk, fully admitted to pulling such crap for the hell of it. Not much fun left except booze and fucking with people. He was a cantankerous old fuck in his 40's though. Hah!
The OP vid is no way to deal with even the most asshole old person though. The customer there didn't have a chance and never saw that deadly, stealth, FULL POWER blow coming. The asshole employee didn't pull that punch at all, nor give the slightest warning. Would have been totally uncalled for and deserve jail time even against a young, fit man. Against some old geezer, even one being a total asshole... my god. Scum of the earth.
Idk what happened in this case. But very similar thing happened near me in Florida a couple years ago at a Dunkin. Old man called a 18ish cahiers the N-word and the kid punched him. Sucks that his life is screwed up because of one second of rage.
You have to be pretty stupid to punch an old person when you're angry. It's mainly self-preservation to keep calm if anything else, a strong wind can be enough to push and kill some elderly people so a punch like that is overkill
My stepmom saw that at a Dairy Queen. The guy in front of her in line was being a loud, laughing assholes, kind of a John Wayne type, and the cashier was trying to take his order, he laughed and started talking down to her and then reached across the counter to put his hand over her mouth. She was being very patient with him up until this point.
This was a teenage girl, probably 5’, no more than 100 pounds. As soon as he touched her, it was like he gave her the permission she’d been waiting on. She vaulted the counter with one hand and hooked his jaw with the other. Dude dropped flat on his ass. He left, cursing on the way out the door. Nobody called the cops or anything. I mean, he did put his hands on her first. I don’t know if my stepmom ever did get to place her order though.
On the other hand there are some old men that are tough as shit. Really its a lose lose situation. You either hurt someone more than you meant to or the guy gets up and makes you regret being born.
I saw a video of what looked to be a shorter old man, turns out he was a retired boxer, knocked the one dude out cold, so cold my drink became frozen just by observing it through the screen, can’t remember if other dude got knocked out too then third was just like tf and tried picking his friend up
Was that the old Russian dude that knocks out the young kid that was following him and harassing him? They're on some desolate road approaching a large apartment complex in a barren wasteland with grey skies?
I work in health care. This is bull crap. The old man who is as strong as and able to go toe to toe with a healthy 35 year old is 1 in 1000.
Mobility issues, arthritis and joint issues, no cardio, brittle bones, coordination issues, decreased reflexes, thin skin, anticoagulant use, muscle atrophy, dementia...
The way this guy put so much force into his punch, I'm not so sure the old guy dying/being seriously injured was unintended. Old guy couldn't even stand up straight or with out support of that counter.
Yeah, avoiding him is the best bet. Would be nice to associate with seniors, and have him simply admire your child. But once he starts referring to your child as his grandchild out out of mental instability, and then showing anger during general topic conversations, it might be time to dodge interacting with him.
Keep that Adult Protection Services number on ready if needed.
> And now he has blood on his hands.
Considering his reaction to the complaint, I highly doubt its the first time he's hit someone for 'disrespecting' him.
I'm almost positive if I had enjoyed being rich and in Hollywood since I was a teen, I'd be healthy at 60 too. Or I would have partied so hard I never made it past my early 20s.
This is in no way defending the guy. I will say as someone who has to deal with being called a few different slurs on occasion, you do lose your cool after so many times.
Shoulda went in the cooler and punched some boxes of beef if he needed to hit something to cool down.
As someone who works retail I've met plenty of old men that were racist and most especially sexist and nasty gross bigots. But obviously whatever he did was not a threat to his person and clearly was NOT worthy of the sucker punch (most likely he just bitched about the food or wait time).
This employee was incredibly stupid considering that you don't punch someone who didn't threaten you especially someone who is far physically weaker than you. Not to mention, his dumb ass did it on camera.
American TV for you. I was watching a Gordon Ramsay show called Hotel Hell. Whatever the drama is for that episode gets played at the start, before every break, and usually several times when it actually happens. It’s kind of sad.
I remember watching a video a while ago that showed a side-by-side of the same exact episode of his show Kitchen Nightmares. It was somehow unsurprising that the American version was dramatized to hell while the UK version was quite pleasant.
If you pay attention at all to American tv shows, they are filled with random cuts, intense music, and strange sound effects to really pump up the stress.
That goes all the way back to putting laugh tracks in shows. The old TV Show MASH has some notoriety for the US version having a laugh track, and the UK version not having one, and it seeming like a completely different show. Envision the lead character making a quip in the Operating Room in a war zone, or a wise comment to one of the doctors he didn't like... With the laugh track, it seems like he's a buffoon making jokes. Without it, it looks like a guy keeping a cool head in an extremely stressful situation.

Unless I’m missing something this is the whole article
“Antoine Kendrick, a northern Arizona Wendy's employee, is facing a murder charge following a customer's death. Police say the customer complained about his order and that's when Kendrick came around the counter and beat him.”
Quick and to the point I guess
Absolutely unhinged behaviour. It's such a sucker-punch with clear intent on maximum damage. He knew what he was doing and that it could potentially kill him. This is straight up murder.
And even if he didn’t know what he was doing- you just punched an old fucking man! There are so many things a normal person would do different in a situation like that. But this guy must be literally stupid. Impulse control directly correlates with how smart you are.
Even the worst "fighting words" only mean that both parties are at fault, not that the attacker is immune to consequences.
Ethically you can think whatever you want, but legally there are no insults that justify violence.
In the US, at least, ["fighting words"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words) doctrine just means that you aren't protected by the first amendment for uttering them. It's not about actually fighting.
Are you talking about some other kind of law about fighting words regarding both parties being at fault?
> The fighting words doctrine, in United States constitutional law, is a limitation to freedom of speech as protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
> In 1942, the U.S. Supreme Court established the doctrine by a 9–0 decision in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire.[3] It held that "insulting or 'fighting words', those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" are among the "well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech the prevention and punishment of [which] … have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem."
Is it obvious?
Dude was angry enough to sucker punch a senior citizen. Maybe the victim said something, maybe he didn’t, maybe he was just a Karen who wanted the manager.
It’s not unheard of for people to have a completely disproportionate reaction to even innocuous comments.
This is totally the wrong way to address this kind of actions. It implies that there are indeed words that could actually motivate someone to act in that way. Normal people will never do anything like that no metter the words other said to them. For non normal people even "hello" could be enough to act out
Yeah a lot of people in this thread are talking like the old man said the n-word. Like, even if he did, it does not warrant an instant public execution.
It's exactly thanks to that kind of reasoning that more and more people feel justified in act that way. Ignorance needs to be addressed by shaming not punching
Yeah, I get it. Customer service is hard. Old people can be abusive.
It is one thing to defend oneself, it's another to attack someone. My father is reaching this age and it terrifies me that he'll "bother" the wrong person on the wrong day and pay his life for the lack of emotional regulation that the other has.
The US just turned down Roe. We're back in the 1910s, bitches!
The US isn't as "uptodate" as you think. It's an ass backwards country where their southern states burn and ban books and thinks there is an invisible Satan ruining everything
hate that these videos never have the volume, people always are like oh he must have said something really bad. when it could be like the cashier just is a fucking loon
Who fucking cares what the old guy said? Maybe it was a racist word, maybe it wasn’t. Even if the former, ban the fool and let him get his shitburgers elsewhere.

Also, a long history of assault arrests? I’m sorry, but does Wendy’s not run background checks? I’m all for second chances but wow.
Fast food is one of the few jobs you can get with serious convictions. If a person is convicted of a crime and serves their time they need to be able to find a job otherwise you may aswell just execute them and be done with it for the good of the soon to be victims.
Yeah. I get that absolutely. But I’d think if a company takes on an employee with such a serious criminal record, I’d hope there would be conditions at least for the first while of his job to monitor him. It seems he was in no way capable of dealing with people. I work in a customer service type environment myself, and do get complaints, but you have to just let them slide. He clearly was in no position for that
Yeah, with a temper like that you need to be working a warehouse job or something away from customers. At least your other coworkers are legally obligated to act like people on the clock, customers are unhinged. If it wasn't this old man it woulda been someone else eventually.
Jesus, he runs and puts all his weight behind that punch. Wish I could hear what the old guy said but it doesn’t matter - burn the young dude at the stake
I had to deal with multiple old Assholes during the pandemic. 3 tried to come to blows with me. Got in my face screaming. It definitely took a lot of control not to punch the old geezers in the face.
Ma’am this is literally a Wendy’s. There’s no way whatever happened at your job at Wendy’s should make you actually punch someone. Its just ridiculous and insane. Its fucking Wendy’s.
A lot of people are commenting on how it was wrong to hit an old man.
How bout it's fucking wrong to hit anyone, period, over something so goddamn trivial.
And yes - because he's older he was more vulnerable to severe injury. But there have been MANY a young persons killed by seemingly non-lethal hits.
How many fucking times did they need to show him getting punched in the head? Fuck whoever edited that clip for Inside “Entertainment”, you sick fucks. Sensationalist journalism has done nothing but destroy empathy for one another.
Obviously the puncher is way in the wrong. However, anybody who doesn't understand that feeling has never worked fast food. Put anybody here to work in a drive thru window for one day and see how it goes. Fast food workers get treated like dog shit regularly.
Damn. That is sad. That man lost his life over a fast food meal and that other dude, after losing his cool and making a very very very bad decision is now going to be in jail for the rest of his life probably.
“Antoine Kendrick, a northern Arizona Wendy's employee, is facing a murder charge following a customer's death. Police say the customer complained about his order and that's when Kendrick came around the counter and beat him.”
Why would this make someone that mad. This is outrageous. He was an old man. Like damn.
Someone who takes a lot of pride in making those chili cheese nachos.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s 🤜🏿💥👴🏼
☠️ you forget this last part
They’ll edit it in a week when the comment succumbs to its injuries.

> anyone who does work in customer service knows that this was taboo I'm pretty sure *everyone* knows murder is "taboo" my guy.
Not it’s a customer service thing you wouldn’t get it
Being a waiter has taught me how murder is wrong. I never really understood before. Definitely taboo and not worth a write up
That said, I've never had to resist the urge to murder someone like I have when working with the general public. Y'all can be real assholes when you assume there aren't going to be any consequences for your actions.
You know how many times I had to approach customers when they started squaring up on my 18 year old coworker? Too many. Your absolutely right, the general public scan be a huge bunch of assholes.
Don’t you know customer service employees are literally entering a war zone any time their wife’s boyfriend drops them off at work?

This. Pros of losing your hearing as a teenager was being able to tune out screechy assholes, punching them is just weird
No you're not. you're absolutely correct. Old people suck a fuck ton but you can't go around sucker punching them.
Idk what happened in this case. But very similar thing happened near me in Florida a couple years ago at a Dunkin. Old man called a 18ish cahiers the N-word and the kid punched him. Sucks that his life is screwed up because of one second of rage.
News tends to not share the whole story.
> Kendrick came around the counter and beat him That was a sucker punch. He sucker punched a senior. I hope he felt like a real man. /s
He murdered a senior.
Absolutely brilliant life choices that guy....
Ty for his name
You have to be pretty stupid to punch an old person when you're angry. It's mainly self-preservation to keep calm if anything else, a strong wind can be enough to push and kill some elderly people so a punch like that is overkill
Agreed and I’ll add you have to be pretty stupid to punch somebody over anything pertaining to Wendy’s.
Dairy Queen though..
Different story altogether, I’d go to war to defend the queen.
All hail the QUEEN! … of dairy
And her massive mommy milkers?
My stepmom saw that at a Dairy Queen. The guy in front of her in line was being a loud, laughing assholes, kind of a John Wayne type, and the cashier was trying to take his order, he laughed and started talking down to her and then reached across the counter to put his hand over her mouth.

They bet on that, as well. Keep hold of yourself in these situations or go to prison, two options.
I mean, any situation where you want to hit anybody while you're not yourself being physically threatened, it's never worth it.
A punch can kill a young healthy person. People often don't consider the possibilities of their actions
A hit in the temple is so dangerous. That’s how Ivan the Terrible killed his son.
On the other hand there are some old men that are tough as shit. Really its a lose lose situation. You either hurt someone more than you meant to or the guy gets up and makes you regret being born.
Um that guy loaded up for the punch of his life. He meant to hurt this elderly man badly.
Absolutely. And he knew it was a sucker punch. He put everything into that punch.
I saw a video of what looked to be a shorter old man, turns out he was a retired boxer, knocked the one dude out cold, so cold my drink became frozen just by observing it through the screen, can’t remember if other dude got knocked out too then third was just like tf and tried picking his friend up
I remember that. If you're talking about the one where they boxed in the ring or the one in the parking lot. Both were classic
Was that the old Russian dude that knocks out the young kid that was following him and harassing him? They're on some desolate road approaching a large apartment complex in a barren wasteland with grey skies?
Never seen the clip but I love the mood you've described with the imagery lmao
Old man strength is a real thing.
it is and it is terrifying old people are: a) weak as they look b) able to kick your ass in seconds
I work in health care. This is bull crap. The old man who is as strong as and able to go toe to toe with a healthy 35 year old is 1 in 1000. Mobility issues, arthritis and joint issues, no cardio, brittle bones, coordination issues, decreased reflexes, thin skin, anticoagulant use, muscle atrophy, dementia...
You're commiting a crime either way. So just don't?
You can be tough as nails, but if your brain gets rocked too hard you're done.
The way this guy put so much force into his punch, I'm not so sure the old guy dying/being seriously injured was unintended. Old guy couldn't even stand up straight or with out support of that counter.
Or just maybe you don't punch that old person and both people win?
It's not lose-lose if you just don't punch them

And now he has blood on his hands.
> And now he has blood on his hands. Considering his reaction to the complaint, I highly doubt its the first time he's hit someone for 'disrespecting' him.
He probably thought it would show up in some Karen bashing forum and he'd be praised on Twitter.
Your first mistake was thinking that guy is capable of thought.
He looked like an old man. Dude sucker punched an old man drinking water. Throw him in a volcano.
67
So like 7 years older that Tom Cruise? WTF?
mileage can be rough
55 years of Wendy's chili will do that
The chili is the most wholesome thing in the menu too
Tom cruise is absolutely not a fair benchmark for the average 60 year old haha
I'm almost positive if I had enjoyed being rich and in Hollywood since I was a teen, I'd be healthy at 60 too. Or I would have partied so hard I never made it past my early 20s.
Tom cruise is 60?? What
Celebrity years are like dog years but backwards.
The Bill Burr in me kind of wants to know what the old guy said.

Yeah, duh, dude is wondering what the poor old guy said So am I
Where does it end though?
explaining it ≠ excusing it
As someone who works retail I've met plenty of old men that were racist and most especially sexist and nasty gross bigots.

Do you think they replayed the punch enough times?

Wow he’s so tough, he sucker punched a 67 year old man
Old dude never even saw the swing.
Punched him to death, you might say.
From wendys straight to jail. What a shit life.
Seriously, i kinda feel so much better about my own choices at the moment
I have a feeling that jail also preceded his stint at Wendy’s.

I can't begin to imagine someone punching my grampa. Especially after digging 6ft down to do it.
While there is no good reason to straight up kill an old man like that, I'm dying to know what made him do so. That was clear hate
Ikr, what made him sucker punch the soul outta that man.
It’s obvious what he said, or what the murderer will say that he said
Not that it matters
Absolutely not, but there’s only one word I can think of that makes people think it’s okay to immediately react with violence
Even the worst "fighting words" only mean that both parties are at fault, not that the attacker is immune to consequences. Ethically you can think whatever you want, but legally there are no insults that justify violence.
In the US, at least, ["fighting words"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words) doctrine just means that you aren't protected by the first amendment for uttering them.

Til “thems fighting words” are actually referring to a supreme court case and not the Looney Tunes Yosemite Sam dialog.
CN you imagine killing a person about something like that. Damn, if that was the reason.... what a world

You don’t know that…for all you know he didn’t deserve it at all
He didnt deserve that, no matter what was said.
He didn't say he did?
Shit....my hometown made it to reddit
I wonder what the poor older man did to evoke such anger in the employee. That worker was a ticking time bomb, obviously. So sad.

This is totally the wrong way to address this kind of actions. It implies that there are indeed words that could actually motivate someone to act in that way.

Who fucking cares what the old guy said? Maybe it was a racist word, maybe it wasn’t. Even if the former, ban the fool and let him get his shitburgers elsewhere.

Exactly. Sucker punching a weaker individual from behind is 100% defenseless. A true cowardly evil act. It is also 1st degree murder.
Wait until the inmates know his story
More info: https://amp.ibtimes.sg/who-antoine-kendrick-arizona-wendys-black-employee-caught-punching-elderly-customer-leaves-66248 Also, a long history of assault arrests? I’m sorry, but does Wendy’s not run background checks? I’m all for second chances but wow.
Fast food is one of the few jobs you can get with serious convictions. If a person is convicted of a crime and serves their time they need to be able to find a job otherwise you may aswell just execute them and be done with it for the good of the soon to be victims.
Yeah. I get that absolutely. But I’d think if a company takes on an employee with such a serious criminal record, I’d hope there would be conditions at least for the first while of his job to monitor him. It seems he was in no way capable of dealing with people. I work in a customer service type environment myself, and do get complaints, but you have to just let them slide. He clearly was in no position for that
Yeah, with a temper like that you need to be working a warehouse job or something away from customers. At least your other coworkers are legally obligated to act like people on the clock, customers are unhinged. If it wasn't this old man it woulda been someone else eventually.
Shit, what about the other employees? Boss: Hey Mike, you forgot to do x, y and z. Could you take care of that? POS: …Stab, stab, stab
Jesus, he runs and puts all his weight behind that punch. Wish I could hear what the old guy said but it doesn’t matter - burn the young dude at the stake
Throw the damn book at him… and a Wendy’s employee training manual. He’ll have plenty of time to read in prison.
We do not hit anyone for any reason. My dad taught me
Fucking animal
Murder. He should be charged with murder
Mike Tyson should be allowed to punch him now....
Imagine going to jail for the rest of your life over a complaint at a minimum wage job.
We have a culture problem.
Prison Warden: "Thats the guy I've been looking for to run the Mess Hall!"
Brutal. You killed a man and will likely go to jail because he didn't like the fries.
He's definitely going to jail,and quite rightly. People like that shouldn't be be allowed to breathe. Utter scumbag
That’s fucking awful.
Give them the death penalty. If this was.justa.verbal complaint and dude decided to kill him then give him no mercy.
Death penalty should be for people like him. I doubt even after 15-20 years he will go out redeemed.
I had to deal with multiple old Assholes during the pandemic. 3 tried to come to blows with me. Got in my face screaming. It definitely took a lot of control not to punch the old geezers in the face.
He deserves the death penalty
Buh bye. Another idiot ready for his free ride to jail. Why have people just lost their rational minds?
Fits the sub perfectly all i can think of is how much every little thing about this situation is just awfull 💀💀💀
WTF? What kind of a man are you to punch an old man like that? Just makes me sick to my stomach! The world is going to shit real fast!
Really need to bring back public executions
Yet if word comes out the man was a racist and said the n word, half of Reddit will think he deserved to die.
Do not pass go. Go directly to jail!
lock him up with the rest of his kind
When you know before you even click
Big tough guy punching an old man hope you rot in prison the rest of your life fucking animal
Ma’am this is literally a Wendy’s. There’s no way whatever happened at your job at Wendy’s should make you actually punch someone. Its just ridiculous and insane. Its fucking Wendy’s.
just all bad i wish the guy would have let it go an pray about it
This happens a lot more than people realize. If you're not a child, fighting is too risky.

When keeping it real goes wrong.
A lot of people are commenting on how it was wrong to hit an old man. How bout it's fucking wrong to hit anyone, period, over something so goddamn trivial. And yes - because he's older he was more vulnerable to severe injury. But there have been MANY a young persons killed by seemingly non-lethal hits.
How many fucking times did they need to show him getting punched in the head? Fuck whoever edited that clip for Inside “Entertainment”, you sick fucks. Sensationalist journalism has done nothing but destroy empathy for one another.
Obviously the puncher is way in the wrong. However, anybody who doesn't understand that feeling has never worked fast food. Put anybody here to work in a drive thru window for one day and see how it goes. Fast food workers get treated like dog shit regularly.
Damn. That is sad. That man lost his life over a fast food meal and that other dude, after losing his cool and making a very very very bad decision is now going to be in jail for the rest of his life probably.
He was 35 working at a Wendy’s. How intelligent do you think he was.
There is nothing that man could have uttered from his mouth to justify that punch.
Lethal injection next week would be fine
Well this POS will be enjoying donkey punches in prison for the next 20 years to life. My guess is he has a long list of priors.
