Authorities are currently searching for a Burger King customer who was caught on camera pointing his gun at an employee who was working the drive-through window. In more shocking news, the incident only happened because the employee gave the customer a $3 discount.
According to @13abc, the altercation went down on Easter sunday around 9:00am when the customer pulled into the Burger King drive-through to order two sausage, egg and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit, and hashbrowns – and the order came out to around $8, which apparently made the customer upset. “He was like, ‘My order can’t be right, it should be like $11,” 38-year-old Howard Vernon told the news outlet. “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 said.

After the two shared those words, Vernon thought the situation was over with because the customer drove off, but about one-minute later the customer came back to the drive-through and got out his car, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Vernon while he was helping another customer. This time when the man came back Vernon said he threatened to kill him and called him a racial slur. “To know that somebody would do something like that just because I’m trying to give you a better deal and just to flip out like that, yes, it is scary,” Vernon said.
Vernon also shared that he hasn’t returned to work since the incident occurred. “At the end of the day, it was about some bread and sausage sandwiches at 9 o’clock in the morning on Easter, and you’re that mad that you’d put a gun in somebody’s face?” Vernon said. “… I don’t know why people are so angry out here at 9 o’clock in the morning.”
The suspect reportedly was seen driving a gray Honda sedan and was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a hat. Authorities still haven’t been able to locate the man.
