A Taco Bell employee in North Carolina has been hospitalized with “life-threatening injuries” after being shot by a suspect who believed he had been given the wrong amount of change after placing an order, police said.

According to the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Police Department, officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call around 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

“Upon arrival, officers located an employee suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” police said in a statement. “Witness statements indicate that after ordering food, the suspect became aggressive in the drive-thru when he believed he had been given an incorrect amount of change. “The suspect proceeded to leave the drive-thru and come inside the restaurant where he became more aggressive, produced a firearm and began shooting inside the restaurant,” police added.

I’m sure the suspect felt disrespected.

Sure are a lot of hits, at the fast food joints, lately.

Glad we don’t patronize any of them.

I remember the days when there weren’t any cash registers to tell you how much change to give back.

These things are getting more common. That seems to be a symptom of societal dissolution and collapse.

Not the right response, but it wouldn’t surprise me that a fast-food employee would screw up a cash transaction. Most can’t deal with the basic math. Hand them $10.10 for a $7.10 order, and the cashier many times will hand you back the dime, punch in the $10, and give you the additional $2.90 in change. Aggravating.

"I’m sure the suspect felt disrespected."

See, if he'd just used aa stolen credit card, he wouldn't be in this mess.

Years ago I was in a Burger King when I heard one teen tell another…..

“Don’t make me go pop da trunk.”

I felt impressed with myself that even as I was a middle-aged white man I understood what that meant

Yep. My first job at 16. KFC. We had to count out the change ourselves. And guess what? It wasn’t difficult.

We all had part time jobs as teenagers; it was just a given. Nobody made us. We wanted to earn our gas money, money for albums, movies, concert tickets, etc. and stick a couple of bucks away each week.

My next part-time job in my college days was at a department store. And we had those new-fangled registers that told us how much change to give back. LOL

I imagine this is the time first Doll McLendon ever broke the law—surely he's not a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. /sarc

Ya Know, I’m starting to understand why they have to pay $20 bucks an hour or more to Fast Food workers, at least in Democrat run cities with large feral populations and Soros owned District Attorneys. I’d want at least that much to put my life on the line with every customer. And would demand a really good insurance package too.

Is anyone else not surprised by the assailant? What is it in the black culture that makes them “lose it” over the smallest events?
