A customer shot and critically injured a worker at a KFC in St. Louis over a lack of corn.
The man was placing an order in the eatery’s drive-thru lane Monday evening when employees informed him the restaurant was out of corn, police said.
The man grew enraged and threatened the employees over the drive-thru speaker box at the fast food joint located at 5020 Delmar Blvd. in the Central West End neighborhood.
He then drove up to the drive-thru window with a handgun, according to cops.
A 25-year-old employee went out to speak with the man and came back into the KFC minutes later, yelling that he had been shot.
He was shot in the abdomen and taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in critical but stable condition as of Tuesday morning, according to local NBC affiliate KSDK.
The gunman, described as a man in his 40s or 50s, drove off following the shooting and remains at large.

Reasonable...
Well, we know he wasn't white because they'd have said so.
I bet they know more than that. A vague description like this is pretty much a guarantee they'll never find him.

Corn addiction is a terrible thing....................
I’m missing the logic here. Will shooting the restaurant employee make the missing corn reappear? Did the perp think the employee was holding out on him and there was a secret stash of corn? And just what kind of corn is it that it’s worth shooting someone over? mashed potatoes and gravy I might understand, but corn?
Sounds like a CORN POP.
But corn?
Damned idiot. Give that person 20 years.
Heh - don’t shoot the messenger…
I actually went thru the drive thru at Kentucky Fried Chicken (back when it was called that) and they told me they were all out of CHICKEN.
So I went to Hardees. They were out of HAMBURGERS. But Hardees had chicken so all was not lost.
This was late 80s/early 90s as I remember.
I just went thru McDonalds Drive Thru and they had big signs announcing the return of the McRib for a limited time. I ordered a McRib Meal only to be told they were already out of them. Should I have shot someone?
The corn ain’t that hood
And what?
WOW...
I must be a man of extreme patience..
I went to our local KFC, and they were out of chicken!!
No kidding, for real!!!
Never get between a man and his corn!
