burger king customer shoots at employee over whopper

Gunfire erupted inside a Georgia Burger King after a customer grew impatient about his Whopper with “extra cheese.”

We’ve seen dozens of bizarre fast food fights over the years between customers and staff, but this has to be one of the worst.

From all-out brawls at the Waffle House to melees at the “world’s worst” McDonald’s involving raccoons, there’s no shortage of viral incidents at restaurants, especially when paying customers lose their cool.

Earlier this week, a kerfuffle broke out between a Burger King employee and customers, but when someone else in line started filming the altercation for a viral moment, he had no idea what he was going to witness.

Burger King fight ends in gunfire as customer shoots at staff

As reported by WSBTV, Instagram user Big Dawg Chino was in line at the College Park Burger King when he overheard some fighting between a customer and an employee.

“I’m like, this is funny because they are going to fight over a burger,” he said. “It’s really over food. Nobody did anything wrong. They just took too long with their food. Those people were really hungry.”

According to Chino, the customer shouted, “I told you I wanted extra cheese,” and that’s when he started filming in hopes of capturing a viral moment.

At the beginning of the clip, you can see a couple of Burger King workers get into it with the tough customers and even shove one of them before being pushed herself.

Eventually, the group of customers went outside, and the female worker followed them out but had no idea one had grabbed a gun from inside their car. In a split second, a man fired a shot inside the restaurant before taking aim and firing yet again.

“I thought that somebody was going to die. Like over a burger?” Chino gasped.

College Park police say no one was hurt in the brouhaha and are attempting to find the perpetrators.

This isn’t the first time someone brought a gun to a restaurant fight. Last year, a group of girls started pistol-whipping a man and smashed him with a chair after he began attacking them.
