This is merely a joke so nobody get anal.
You know you're on a geek forum when the users are discussing the strange cost of the incident and not the strange behaviour of the mentioned drug.

A plumber might charge £300 to install it. So lets call the $2000 even. I'm still not seeing where the rest of the money is going.
I think the problem you're facing is, that you're dealing with a "civilian" toilet, as in, one designed for use in the home. Most in restaurants and in public places in general are more robust to handle a higher work load.
Additionally, 2k may be reasonable for a home refrigerator, but a specialized "deli" style refrigerator is going to be considerably more, perhaps 4-5k may be on the lower end of the spectrum?

Well, in all fairness, I think people have come to a point of "not suprised really" when a story says the person was using "spice". The fact is, people using "spice" do crazy gak a lot of times. Why anyone would even consider using that stuff after reading things like this is beyond me, but hey, maybe they have it on their bucket list to run around naked and trash a Subway...

Something to consider about damages.
Wages add up in a place like that as does the lack of customers. Damages could very will include the loss of food items, loss of working hours, loss of customers and including material damages.
Heaps of stuff to consider.
Do this: List the things a business does that costs money (everything) then list how much of that everything was lost due to this womens actions. Then find out the cost of each of those losses. Technically paying a guy to see what the losses are adds to the losses too.
Something simple like this could cost a lot I think.

Not just technically either. The reasonable cost of assessment of damages factors into the total dollar amount. That's not in any way remarkable.
And you're right; likely at least a week's worth of lost revenue for something like a Subway in an even remotely busy location adds up real fast. If she turns out to be penniless (not so far-fetched given her behaviour - it's hardly indicative of a well-adjusted, high functioning personality  ) that franchise-owner might well be out of at least an actual 20K even if he has insurance against such property damage; I'd be very surprised if any insurer covers loss of revenue to events such as these.

Mentats don’t use Spice. Unlike most of the other factions in Dune

Dune, not Star Wars.
Both, actually. The Spice Melange, is the big deal in Dune. But a different kind of Spice in mined on Kessel. Home of the famed Kessel run that Han did in record time.

As mentioned, spice is in star wars too. Its more of a collective slang term than a proper one. Han Solo was smuggling Glitterstim spice, the rarest and most expensive kind which is mined on Kessel from Energy Spider webs.

Only makes you a superhuman thinking machine if you take all your clothes off apparently.
Or alternitavely: You are only a superhuman thinking machine if you keep all of your clothes on, as most stories involving spice that you read about involve someone getting naked. You dont hear about the ones where people remained dressed.

I call BS. In the photos (which I assume are of the aftermath) there is one ceiling tile down, and one computer screen on the floor which is probably worth less than $100 (if it's even broken). Even if we round that up to $1000, Another 19k for a few flipped chairs and tables sounds rather excessive.
One thing to consider: If she discharged a fire extinguisher, and that extinguisher was one of the PKP type extinguishers (which most restaurants have as it is designed to comabt grease/oil fires) then the powder would have gotten all over everything. I know this from experience having discharged one in my own home due to a grease fire. That fine powder gets all over everything once it gets into the air and settles so everything has to be cleaned. This in itself is probably not a huge protion of that 20k$ but taking into account labor, and cost of any food etc that had to be disposed of, could get kind of spendy.
I dont see how it all adds up to 20k$ but then again I saw a 6" ball valve on a submarine that cost the government $350k so cost of "things" doesnt suprise me any more.
Lot of things to add up to £20K the first two being most important.
- Legal fees
- Lost income
- She allegedly defecated in the store, that and other things would mean a health inspector would need to verify the clean up job.
- Damaged computers, corporations often pay more for computer equipment than home users, there may be fixed contracts, installation costs etc
- Damaged proprietary materials. Decor and items with logos on them may cost much more than a similar plain item. Fast food franchise dining furniture can be surprisingly expensive.

It's kind of irrelevant what the exact costs may be because if found guilty she won't be able to pay them anyway.

From the sounds of the lady, I'd be surprised if she could pay regardless.

According to some cursory internet investigation, there seems to be plenty of men who will pay top dollar for a naked woman willing to wreck face.
