Man hoping to get fired allegedly trashes eatery

[February 14, 2009]  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.
