Man Allegedly Pulls Gun on Burger King Employee Over Discounted Meal
“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,” the employee said.

Police in Ohio are trying to track down a man who allegedly pulled a gun on a Burger King employee over the weekend because he was mad about receiving a discount. The incident took place in the Cleveland suburb of Willowick on Easter morning, when, according to the employee, the customer flipped out after learning his order was cheaper than he expected it to be. “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,’” the employee told local outlet WOIO-TV. He said the man sped away before returning to the drive-thru window, pulling out a gun, and threatening him. Police have released images of the suspect from surveillance footage and have asked the public for help identifying him.
