A South Carolina man was arrested on Tuesday after he became upset when a Burger King wouldn’t honor his free Whopper coupon.
James Beavers, 29, is being held at the Spartanburg County Detention Center without bond, according to jail records. He is facing on charges of unlawful carrying of a pistol and two counts of unlawful pointing and presenting a firearm.
A manager told Spartanburg County Sheriff’s deputies that Beavers had become upset when the restaurant wouldn’t honor free whopper coupons he was attempting to use at the drive-thru window, Fox Carolina reported.
Staffers said Beavers drove off, then back around the drive-thru window a second time with a gun on his lap pointed in the direction of restaurant employees, according to Fox Carolina.
“He pulled up to the window, he continued to keep cussing and then that’s when he pointed a gun at me and the girl manager,” one of the managers told Fox Carolina. Beavers told staffers he would return before driving off.
Deputies spotted Beavers’ vehicle on their way to the call at his home, according to WSPA. He told deputies that he had gotten into an argument with the manager at Burger King over the coupon.
Beavers also said that the manager disrespected him when the manager told him to come back when he had money, WSPA reported. He told deputies that he had his gun in his SUV but didn’t point or present it to the manager. He also said that he didn’t have a concealed weapons permit for the pistol he had in the center console of his SUV.
Surveillance video captured Beavers arguing with the Burger King manager, but did not show him presenting or pointing the gun, both WSPA and Fox Carolina reported.
He had a tough start in life having to live with the “Beavers” handle.
:D
He’s a real loser, but did the Burger King explain why they would not honor his Free Whopper Coupon?
Had he already used it?

Would be even more heavily armed if they had named him “Sue”.
No mention of the reason for denying him use of the coupon. Was it “free with purchase of fries and a drink” or “buy one, get one”? I’ve used those once in a while to save a couple of bucks. But I’ve never seen a totally free one.
I dunno, but apparently he really wanted a Whopper. Can’t blame him, they’re my fave of the fast food burgers, too.

“Ms.Hardy-Beavers”?
“Have it your way!”

Not for a few years you haven’t been able to - but you can “Be Your Way” instead. I guess he was his way.

“Ward, ...”
Some forms of stupid just can’t be fixed
Those are usually buy one get one free
I’m betting that it’s one of those internet, fake coupons, like “Get $25 off a $25 purchase at Wal-Mart”, or “$90 off a $100 purchase at Kroger”.
Well, he bought one last year. Doesn’t that count???

Yet...he grew a beard.
So true!
