Discounted Burger King is still Burger King so on one level I understand, but seriously, who ever heard of threatening someone for giving you a break?
Here’s a video version of the story that the uploader won’t let me embed, because much like our friend here he must also hate things that are helpful to him.
The employee, Howard Vernon, told WOIO-TV he was taking the customer’s order − two sausage, egg and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit, and hash browns − which totaled about $8.
“He was like, ‘My order can’t be right, it should be like $11,’ and I’m like trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on, and like it’s cheaper, and he started cussing and getting all loud, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what to tell you, I don’t know why you want to pay more money,’” Vernon told the outlet.The customer sped away from the scene, but images captured on surveillance video at the business show he returned a short time later and pulled alongside another car parked outside the drive-thru window.
Images show he then got out of the car and pointed a gun in the direction of the window and the employee.
He was also said to be yelling racial slurs, because what else would a guy like this be doing?
Whether one of the things he was doing was leaving with his food after all this silliness was not reported.
And I don’t know why the two written reports call the victim Howard but the reporter in the video calls him Tim. I’m just glad he wasn’t injured, whatever his name is.
