Sometimes fast food service can be problematic at best. Ordering and receiving the proper items can be difficult, particularly when the restaurant is short of help. This from theblaze.com.
Many of us wish we had the imagination of this particular young lady. If so, we may have begun using her secret years ago.
One woman who was irate that a Chipotle restaurant was closing early pulled a gun from her purse and demanded that employees finish her order.
The not-so-shocking incident unfolded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at about 5 p.m. on Saturday and was caught on surveillance video.
The woman can be seen on the video reaching into her purse and grabbing a handgun after a manager says he told her that the restaurant would have to close early because of staffing shortages.
The customers were instructed to order online because they were closing the lobby, but the woman demanded that they make her food before closing.
Police say the woman told the employees there would be “a problem” if her order wasn’t completed.
She allegedly said, “somebody better give me my food!” and showed her gun a second time after they made her order.
The employee alerted mall security during the incident by pressing an emergency button, but the woman was able to leave with her order and escape.
Police said the woman left without paying for her food, and she could face armed robbery charges for doing so. They are asking for help from the public to identify either the woman or the man next to her in the video.
Given the circumstances, what are the odds the woman will be identified and apprehended: Woman of color, Philadelphia, the era of police disrespect in large cities, and a Covid pandemic?
I give 50-50 odds nothing will come of this incident, and 80-20 odds the “quick-thinking” lady and her gentleman escort enjoyed their meal in a quiet, romantic setting.
