DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — An employee at a Georgia fast-food restaurant shot a customer who was unhappy with his order, authorities said.

The shooting happened around midnight at the Checkers off Candler Road in DeKalb County.

The manager told Holloway the shooting started over a chicken wing order.

Two men placed their order at the walk-up window and became upset when the order was wrong, according to the manager.

She said they tried to remake the order when the two men started yelling at employees.

The manager said they opened the window back up, and one of the men threw all the wings at the employee.

That is when the employee shot the customer.

From now on, I’ll be sure to be extra polite when ordering my Velveeta covered fries with bacon bits.

Avoid Checkers midnight snacks?

A wing ding!

Checkers wings are deadly weapons when launched in anger.
Justified shooting.

“Have it OUR way”

[Da Coyote]

Hmmm, strong suspicion about both the customer and perp.

Anyone wanna bet?

“You hit?”

“Nah, he just winged me”.

Nothing good happens after midnight.

I avoid Checkers completely. Our local Checkers is awful -- food looks like it's been trampled by cattle, and the restaurants are staffed by illegals who apparently speak very little English.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Two men walking in Atlanta after midnight decide to purchase some wings at a Checkers. The order comes out incorrectly so the men have a choice to make. Ask for the order to be corrected or keep it real by yelling at the employees and then throwing the wings at the employees.

The men decided to keep it real and throw the winds back at the employees.

That is when the employee shot the customer.

Candler Road in Decatur? No-brainer.

Never bring chicken wings to a gun fight.

Brad would have handled it so much better.

...The restaurants are staffed by illegals who apparently speak very little English.

That may be why they got the order wrong. It's happened to me when I've encountered such restaurant staffers.

[srmanuel]

So much for the customer always being right

[mo]

sounds like somebody’s “order” was lacking the “good stuff” they expected

[RubinBoomer]

wing shot.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Brad never had to wait on this guy.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Employee was fired.

Guess they think emp overreacted.

But I always have to wonder. Frankly these low-class privileged scum who THEMSELVES overreact and go hysterical are dangerous in themselves, and maybe if they got shot once in a while, this insane behavior would stop.
