A McDonald’s manager has been fired after throwing a blender at the face of a disgruntled customer who complained about her order.

The 22 September incident, which took place in a McDonald’s in Colerain Township, Ohio, was captured on surveillance camera and shows customer Britany Price being knocked to the floor.

According to Price, who suffered a fractured cheekbone and a broken nose as a result of the attack, she went inside the fast-food restaurant after realising the order she’d ordered through the drive-thru was incorrect.

In footage of the incident obtained by WLWT, Prince can be seen waiting for her order after informing employees it was wrong.

She alleges that she waited for roughly 25 minutes, before returning to her car to grab the rest of the food and ask for a refund. She then began throwing food at the McDonald’s employees.

“I wasn’t the only one that got frustrated, you know, watching the video we see a lot of people that see me and her talking, trying to resolve the issue and they’re like, I’m not dealing with this, you know, they just left, they didn’t even place their order,” Price recalled.

After throwing the food, the manager of the McDonald’s picked up a blender and threw it at Price - knocking her to the ground.

What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job Show all 6 1 /6 What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘High stress job’ "You get treated very poorly by customers and it's a high stress job at peak hours, but I believe this holds true for any fast food service job." What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘Regimented’ "I was trained in the kitchen and every process was regimented down to the last little detail. I got a test at the end of my training that included questions like: How many pieces of diced onion do you put on a cheeseburger? (the answer was 17)" Copyright (c) 2009 Rex Features. No use without permission. What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘Lifelong friends’ "Working at McDonald's was one of the most fun experiences in my life! I met lifelong friends while putting myself through college. I also got to eat there for almost two years everyday." What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘Higher standards than most’ "The kitchens are clean and organised. They have a lot of checklists and protocols to make sure the quality of the food is top notch. They have higher standards than most companies when it comes to health codes and when something doesn't meet their standards they throw it away immediately." What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘Well trained’ "An old boss of mine, at a very high-end boutique catering company, told me he always hired workers who listed McDonald's on their resume because he knew they were already well trained." What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job ‘Big on cleanliness’ "I loved how big they were on cleanliness. I found out later that this is not the case at every location, but those two (especially the one in my hometown) were very clean."

According to Price, who says she has undergone surgery as a result of her injuries, she thinks the incident would have escalated even if she hadn’t thrown the food.

“I definitely don’t feel like there would have been a different result,” she told WLWT. “I feel like even if we would have just went verbal back and forth that it still would have escalated to something else.”

Price also said she just wanted to "get some Happy Meals and some cheeseburgers" but that the day turned out to be a "very unhappy day for me".
