Customer Meltdown Over $1 Sauce Charge Leaves $1,000 Trail of Destruction at Little Caesars

A Louisville woman’s reaction to a simple $1 sauce fee has gone viral — not for her culinary passion, but for the chaos that followed.

According to a report from WDRB, Breanna Haynes placed a phone order at a Little Caesars in Louisville, Kentucky, in January. When she arrived to pick it up, employees informed her there would be a $1 charge for extra sauce.

That’s when things allegedly spiraled.

Police say Haynes “created a disturbance in the store” and knocked over more than $1,000 worth of equipment, including a custom computer stand and cash register, after being told she had to pay the extra dollar.

Employees quickly provided her name and video evidence to the Louisville Metro Police Department, but Haynes wasn’t arrested until months later.

On September 22, officers finally apprehended her — this time for allegedly throwing a brick at the car of her child’s father, reportedly upset over his plans to move to Cincinnati. That act caused another $1,000 in damages and led to assault and criminal mischief charges.

The Little Caesars incident has drawn comparisons to other fast-food meltdowns over sauce disputes.

In 2020, a Texas Burger King customer threw straws, cups, and lids after being told she’d need to pay for additional sauce, as reported by The U.S. Sun. One employee in that case was heard saying, “She’s being ghetto.” The woman’s fiery response: “I’ll show you fing ghetto, b**!”*

And in 2017, a Taco Bell in Ohio made headlines when a woman refused to leave the drive-thru after discovering they were out of mild sauce, causing a traffic jam until police intervened — a case so absurd that Vice even covered it.

While paying a dollar for extra sauce may not seem like a hill worth dying on, these bizarre outbursts are becoming symbolic of a deeper cultural issue — one where entitlement and anger collide over the smallest inconveniences.
