Milwaukee Police (MPD) are looking for a man who fired shots at a Milwaukee Taco Bell early Monday morning after the disgruntled customer was upset over a mix-up in his order, according to restaurant management.

The shooting occurred around 12:20 a.m. on the 5700 block of W. Fond du Lac Avenue, said MPD Sgt. Timothy Gaurke.

“A customer fired a gun into the drive through window and into an employee’s car,” Sgt. Gaurke said.

...

Taco Bell management said that the man was upset that employees forgot to add sour cream to his order. The customer apparently called the restaurant after discovering the error. The manager instructed the customer to come back to the restaurant the next day to get a free meal, as the restaurant had already closed.

But, nearly immediately, the customer then returned to the restaurant where he shot at the bullet-proof drive thru-window and the employee’s car in the parking lot, restaurant officials said.

It isn't? This person was mentally sane?

Edit: To be fair, he could have been under the influence of drugs/alcohol, but still, not a normal response, even if drunk.

I initially read that as if it were one bullet, thinking how that was even possible.

Address your gun problem USA or nothing is ever going to change.

Seriously you need to regulate the sale of weapons much more tightly and have everyone who buys or attempts to buy a gun go through strict background checks and be put into police/FBI databases.

That and register every firearm currently owned by civilians into that database.

The other big thing I got out of this is that a Taco Bell has bulletproof windows.

Just murmur on that for a second.

Yeah I know, right?

Every time Taco Bell fucks up my order I think, "Damn, wish I owned a gun to shoot at these motherfuckers."

Thankfully I don't have a gun and go on my merry way without anything happening.

New area i moved to has bulletproof almost everything involving cashiers :/ Fast food, banks, etc. Good way to make me feel unsafe.

This whole thing is so American

  • Slight Fast Food mix up leads to gun violence
  • Manager offers customer entirely reasonable solution of a free meal the next day
  • Customer who is also a gun owner of course instead decides to shoot up the place after they're already closed
  • Drive-through window is bulletproof because of USA!USA!USA!
But no America doesn't have any problems with guns.

That's actually not uncommon I believe. Least I've been around parts of LA growing up where they had a number of shielding bits up.

It's not as uncommon as you might think. Depending on the neighborhood, a lot of fast food places will have bulletproofing or other safety buffers for their employees.

Doesn't mean it's not a bad thing that we need it, but I've seen it a lot.

Even that's messed up. I didn't think it would be possible to screw something up like sour cream, but they did.

Same as areas in and around Baltimore and Washington D.C. It's weird but places have em up.

If only another customer or an employee had a gun, this problem would have been completely solved.

I went to Taco Bell a few times and they put beans on shit they don't normally even offer beans on.

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as justifiable homicide.

I was at a restaurant the other day and a man who was clearly not right in the head was fidgeting and arguing with the girl at the counter about missing stock. He wanted certain menu items that I guess the store was out of. He was getting like really really weirdly upset about really mundane stock issues. Later I saw he had a huge ass hunting knife on his belt loop.. I was actually scared to be in the same room as this guy. But many people seem to think it's A-OK for people with clear mental health issues to buy firearms.

America is really sus.

I grew up in North Minneapolis and I've never heard of a fast food place having bulletproof stuff, only the banks and government centers

Sour cream is serious business. A few months ago I witnessed an altercation at my neighborhood Qdoba between the manager and a lady who was mad about the quality and quantity of sour cream on her taco salad and she insisted that they kept the good stuff hidden in the back.

All I could do is look around the restaurant wondering where the hidden camera was.

The strangest thing to me is some people have never seen this. I know Chicago has some like this. Detroit too. LA, etc. Eh I don't take it as any different than glass interiors in gas stations. Those are common in a ton of places.

OK America, you win. You can have your guns. Just promise you'll shoot to kill when you come for me, so I don't have to try and subsist in this armed-to-the-teeth shithole.

At least the payday loan place might have money.
