A woman was arrested after a shouting match with an Applebee's manager over an "all you can eat" deal, police said.
Shawneesha Cobbs, 28, and her family visited an Applebee's in Indiana earlier this month. They decided to order the all you can eat meal.
Around 8:40 p.m., police in Portage, Indiana, were called to the restaurant. A loud argument was unfolding inside.
A woman told police that she, Cobbs, another man, and several children were arguing with the Applebee's manager. The fight was over the terms of the restaurant's all you can eat deal.
The group believed if one person ordered the $15.99 deal, they could keep asking for food until everyone had enough.
The manager explained that wasn’t the case. Every person receiving food had to pay the $16, according to Fox32.
This explanation sparked an argument. The diners accused the manager of being unprofessional. They claimed the menu didn’t make it clear the deal was per person, not per party.
Cobbs tried to make her point by showing the menu to a police officer. The officer found the part that specified the deal was "per person" and showed it to Cobbs.
As this was happening, a couple tried to leave the restaurant. Cobbs noticed them and started yelling, indicating a previous confrontation. Police warned Cobbs to calm down.
A woman from Cobbs' group tried to calm her, but it didn’t work. Police said Cobbs continued being disruptive. She was warned she’d be arrested if she didn’t calm down.
Cobbs didn’t calm down and was arrested. She was taken to the Porter County Jail for disorderly conduct.
The rest of Cobbs' group paid their bill.
