In-N-Out Burger Flipper Disables Car, Attempts to Murder Boss in Parking Lot

One LA employee just couldn't take it anymore

A disgruntled Glendale In-N-Out employee went for a true double-double against his former boss earlier this week, disabling the man’s car by putting sugar in the gas tank and hiding out with a few loaded guns in what police are calling an armed ambush.

NBC Los Angeles has some on-the-scene details of the emerging incident, which took place around 2 a.m. Monday morning. The alleged attacker, Eric Bloss, was a recent UC Berkeley college graduate whose former roommate says had become disillusioned with his work flipping burgers, and believed that his manager at the Glendale In-N-Out was reprimanding him unfairly.

And with all that pressure to perform, what with the new competing Shake Shack coming soon, it seems the work environment became too much for Bloss. At some point, the 23-year old hatched the self-styled revenge plot against his former manager.

The "imminent" attack, as described by police, was foiled when a passerby spotted Bloss tampering with a car in the parking lot (this was the cartoonishly villainous Phase One: Sugar In The Gas Tank step). That witness tipped off the right people, and Bloss was found not long after (Phase Two: Hide With Guns) waiting for the In-N-Out manager to head for his car after a long shift. Thankfully, the entire plot fell apart before anyone was hurt.

NBC Los Angeles says the suspect Eric Bloss, an Eagle Rock native, is currently being held on $250,000 bail in an LA County jail, where it’s hard to imagine the food is as good as In-N-Out's.

LOL, If I was his jailer, I'd hand him a couple burgers and tell him "compliments of Glendale's In-N-Out".

Why don't we see a picture of Bloss? Are mommy and daddy law-yiz who threatened to sue the pants off of everybody?

I guarantee this guy is a SJW. I also suspect (50/50) he has those large holed earrings.

I guess I was wrong. He had no earrings. But he still could be a SJW, even though his major is geology..

how do you put sugar in the gas tank of a modern car with a locking gas tank door

Maybe you pour in the more modern High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Just add water to the sugar and you might have something.

Geology major. Almost as unemployable as someone with a degree in anthropology, art history, -——— studies, or library science.

alot of newer vehicles do not have a lock, they are constructed so that you cannot siphon gas out, but nothing to stop them from putting something in. I know this because a friend has a 2009 Ford F150 pickup...no lock.

I saw that independently... and was scanning the thread for including who might get a kick out of that fact... but you were there first... anyways... because I already formatted the reply... and cut... I paste it to You. hahahaha!

We can assume he never had John Thornton as a professor [via Snopes]:

Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline, as a researcher at Berkeley confirmed in 1994. Forensics professor John Thornton labeled sucrose with radioactive carbon atoms and mixed it with gasoline, then spun the concoction in a centrifuge. After the undissolved particles were removed, the liquid's radiation level was measured to determine how much sucrose had become part of the gasoline. The answer was extremely little: the equivalent of less than a teaspoonful per 15-gallon tank of gas.
