Why I will never again be a fast food manager- Wendy's chili shooting

[Food Lady]

Apparently chili sauce is worth shooting people over:

Shot over Chili Sauce

Ok all of you customer lurkers who think that this site doesn't need to be here, read this article. Maybe you'll realize that there really are times when the precious customer is not always right.

[TeslaRecoil]

I'm sure there are going to be some people out there who will make the argument that "It's just chili sauce ... why not give the customer what he wants?"

Of course, those people are morons, but I have a feeling they do exist.

I've been threatened with violence for enforcing store policy before, but I never imagined somthing like this could really happen ... I hope the manager's ok

[Demonoid Phenomenon]

I'm almost afraid to leave the house these days.
I might pass someone on the highway and get a bullet in the brain because they took offense.

I don't like guns, and it would be really easy to go off on a anti-gun tirade, but when someone is so messed up mentally that they shoot someone over condiments, I suppose the weapon of choice is a moot point.
It could just as easily have been a knife or baseball bat.

[Kilamon]

Apparently, I need to go to Wendy's and try the chili sauce. It must be addictively good.

Seriously, that's just stupid to shoot someone for. I mean, I suppose it's stupid to shoot someone for having different religious beliefs too, but chili sauce is a whole new kind of stupid.

[Gravekeeper]

That is both the stupidest thing to be shot over and the stupidest thing to ( in 4 days when they find him ) go to prison for.

The only consolation here is at some point in the near future this guy will be tossing salad. Perhaps with chilli sauce.

[tollbaby]

if I'm not mistaken, the "chili sauce" is just a very spicy oil. My ex likes to put it on his taco salad. They NEVER offer it, you have to ask for it, but yeah, they limit quantities. ANd I don't blame them. I've seen an older gentleman walk in, ask for like 20 packets, then sit at a table opening the packets and pouring them into an old tabasco sauce bottle.... *sigh* Stocking up for the week, apparently.

To SHOOT somebody for sauce packets... yeah, firm grip on reality there, bucko.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Well, you know, I don't know if you can get "Ring of Fire" from Wendye's chili sauce, but I bet you can get a five alarm version of it in the prison shower.

Just sayin'.

Que the customer saying "They are now emotionally distressed from having to shoot somebody and the only thing they can do is sue" in 5 4 3 2 1

A friend emailed the story to me this morning, so I sent her the link to this site. People need to know that this kind of thing is not an aberration anymore.

[Crazyredhead]

This happened down the road from me, well about 11 miles, but it is still too close.
