A woman glassed a Wetherspoons worker in a heated row over a basket of chicken.
Hollie Crutchley, 22, attacked the off duty staff member at the Wheatsheaf pub in Cheadle.
Crutchley threw her gin glass at the woman after being told to pay for food she had taken from another table - as Stoke-on-Trent Live reports.

The victim was taken to hospital where she received six stitches as a result of the incident which occurred at around 9.30pm on August 14 last year.
Crutchley, of Rugeley, Staffordshire, has pleaded guilty to the offence at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court and has been sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months.
Prosecutor Rachel Pennington told the court : "The defendant shouted, 'Do you want to go, do you want to go'?
The prosecutor added: "She picked up a drink and threw the glass and contents at her.
"Security went to intervene. The defendant picked up her drink in a gin glass and struck it out towards the woman. The complainant raised her arm to protect her face.
"The victim said the glass was thrown at her. She kept her arms raised. The glass smashed against her left arm."
Saleema Mahmood, mitigating, said the defendant is of previous good character.
She said: "The glass was thrown. It was done recklessly. The injury was minimal.
"She is extremely remorseful."
As part of the suspended sentence, Crutchley must complete a rehabilitation activity requirement for 20 days and 120 hours unpaid work - and pay her victim £500 compensation.
Judge David Fletcher said: "Your response to being challenged was to throw liquid at her. You picked up a second glass. It was reckless, foolish and extremely dangerous.
"It is a nasty injury.
"You expressed your remorse. You are of good character."
