MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A restaurant worker was accused of trashing the place in an attempt to get fired and collect unemployment compensation. A criminal complaint filed Thursday said a 35-year-old man showed up at a Qdoba restaurant and started throwing brownies and cookies on the floor.

The man then went into the kitchen and threw pots and pans around, then went into a storage area and threw boxes of hot sauce on the floor.

Police said the man told them he was trying to get fired and couldn't collect unemployment if he simply quit.

Welcome to 21st century America.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets death threats now, people are getting sick of people like that and are starting to take extreme measures.

They will usually deny claims if your actions lead to your termination. Even if he hadn't been exposed, the unemployment office would probably tell him to buzz off.

I would've just not washed my hands after leaving the restroom or something. That guy let his emotions go too wild!

For real, most people I know are itching for either a job or more hours at their current one!
