A "business dispute" call. Okay. I thought we were just supposed to complain to the manager and maybe corporate headquarters over service issues.

[Larry Lucido]

I remember a sign outside the supply sergeant’s office at the old Detroit Artillery Armory:

“This isn’t Burger King. You don’t get it your way. You get it our way or you don’t get the sonofab——.”

[PAR35]

More info needed. Who was the woman in the truck with him?

[PAR35]

And, by the way, the obligatory “no photo needed” comment.

That county went from being a textbook example of Conservative social and fiscal governance, operated in the proverbial “black” - great schools - low crime - low taxes, to this.

Always voted Republican. Now a reliable Dem county.

Night time, lady in the car, arguing that Burger King screwed up the order...

Breathalizer, please.

[ConservativeMind]

What is going on with this guy? Call the Burger King Customer Complain hotline.

I’ve done it for a KFC guy who argued and didn’t give back the right amount of money.

And this is wrong because? Absolutely bring in the Police if they mess up the order—and IF they really screw it up—the SWAT team needs to get involved—100% justified, that’s how I see it 😜🙃😘

Get the governor to call out the National Guard too!

It shows the deterioration of Cobb County (metro Atlanta) that an unqualified chimp can be elected sheriff there now. He's up for re-election this year and this little incident isn't likely to hinder his chances.

Cobb used to be a very nice suburban county but is experiencing significant White Flight, Whites are now a minority, and in 2020 Trump lost by almost 15 points (GOP had won every presidential election in Cobb from 1980-2012).

And no, it's not ALL "frodd, frodd, frodd, frodd, frodd!!!!" (our handy-dandy excuse for any outcome we don't like) -- it's demographics.

Welcome to GA. 😏

Did they evacuate him to Popeye’s?

[scott says]

National Guard gets involved only IF the ketchup or extra condiments were callously NOT put in the take out bag-—then we have serious problems-—

[Enterprise]

All I can say to Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens, Sr.:

[Tom Tetroxide]

Is Veterans Memorial Highway in Mableton the old Bankhead Highway?

[Ann Archy]

Do i need to look, yogi?

[No name given]

Nope.

[Cecily]

It’s the same road (Highway 78), but it’s now named Veterans Memorial in Cobb County and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway in Fulton County.

[subterfuge]

What’s the point of being a government official if you can’t bully businesses and individuals to suit your desires?

Must be awesome to have your own personal goon squad to take care of bidness.

[Gaffer]

Here’s yer DEI right here, folks.
