Denny’s is notorious for being the go-to place for an extremely early morning breakfast. (Or is a late night snack? I have no idea. Can you tell I’ve never been a “stay out all night” kind of person?)
Believe it or not, I’ve never been to Denny’s. That isn’t relevant to this story, but I thought you should know.
Moving on.
Some creeptastic Denny’s customer has been arrested for slapping a waitress’ butt. This should go without saying, but slapping your waitress’ butt is highly frowned upon in modern society.
Oh. And this creep did this when his wife was in the bathroom. Makes him even grosser, right?
On May 22, Clarence H. Locke Jr. arrived at Denny’s in Rome with his wife around noon, sat down at one of staffer Jayme Adair’s tables, and ordered beverages, Newshub reports.
“The customer and his wife came in together. I didn’t recognize him by his face, but when he walked in he said, “Hello Jayme,”” the 23-year-old waitress recalled. As Locke’s wife soon left the table to user the restroom, the shocking incident unfolded.
“I get their drink order, I turn to walk away and he reaches out of the booth, almost falls out of the booth and tries, and hits my butt,” Adair told WKTV . “And I was just in shock. I never had something like that happen to me.”
Who DOES that? Who does he think he is?
She immediately informed her manager, who told the man to leave.
“It made me feel embarrassed, it was degrading, it made me feel…it made me feel like I did something wrong and I know I didn’t do anything wrong,” Adair further mused, adding that nothing like this has happened in the five years she’s worked at Denny’s of Rome.
Police arrested Locke later in the day.
Locke was charged with forcible touching, a Class A misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in jail or three years’ probation. Upon conviction, the violation does not require a person to register as a sex offender, unless the victim is younger than 18 or it is not the attacker’s first sex-related conviction, WKTV reports.
What a flaming creep. I still can’t get over it. What made him think he had permission to do that? And did he really believe he could get away with it?
People really suck sometimes.
