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 mans 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 its hard to imagine the food is as good as In-N-Out's.
Centrifuges separate, they don't blend. Methinks the prof isn't very smart. Or he thinks that we aren't.
Wonder what his beef was?
Seemed to relish in the plan, though it was...dicey...
Now you've stressed this 'writer'. Better make sure you have a locking gas cap.
If his major was geology, we haven't begun to hear the real story.
couldn’t cut the mustard?
Too stoopet to get all up in his grill and shake some sense into him?
With a screwdriver.
Guy was Soda Jerk....
He looks meaner than most of the Waco bikers.
I was a chemistry major. We had a saying in the department: Chemists with a "C" average will find jobs, just not in chemistry."
So perhaps the geologist here might have had a grade point average problem.
Good point.
” The alleged attacker, Eric Bloss, was a recent UC Berkeley college graduate”
He just couldn’t wait for the $15 minimum wage, I guess.
“good on the passerby who took action... love In-n-Out!”
OUTSTANDING food there. They’re in Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin...but they seem to be treating my home town (Houston) like the plague.
Nobody looks their best in a mug shot...
Pretty glib reporting of a guy who seemed prepared to gun down his boss over nothing.
You forgot 1; never vote for a Democrat.

College genius needs to quickly check out the ability of gasoline to dissolve sugar, the modern electronic fuel injection systems, the effectiveness of modern fuel filters and realize that his future as a criminal car thief is VERY limited.
