A Florida Checkers employee allegedly shot and killed a customer in a fight over missing mayonnaise, according to authorities.
Fast food server Elijah Mackey, 23, allegedly shot 40-year-old customer Wesley Robertson late Wednesday after Robertson complained about his order at the drive-thru window in a branch in Kissimmee, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said.
A witness told deputies the incident was sparked by missing packets of mayo, according to his arrest warrant.
Mackey allegedly climbed out of the drive-thru window, called Robertson a slew of insults, then pulled out a gun and shot him in the chest, the warrant said.

No need to look, Boo-boo. It’s them.
Guess the Mayo Clinic was not nearby enough to save the customer.
How would you like to own that restaurant now?
climbed out of the drive-thru window
That should have been the sign to flee the area.
The worker was disrespected, and the victim was white, so it’s OK.
His life as he knew it is over, because of an argument over a mayonnaise packet. What a waste.
I loath mayonnaise, but the death penalty for those who like it is a bit much,
IMO. a flogging is more than sufficient
I use mayo sparingly, never on a burger, although I have seen people eat fries with mayonnaise
Only on turkey and tuna. Anyone putting ketchup on a hot dog should be flogged.
Maybe 25% of the people you meet these days are unstable. And in certain places that number goes up, way up. So consider the strategy of “winning by losing”.
By that, I mean win your main objective by losing something small. For example, in a stupid street confrontation back away. Control your ego. Let it go. You’ve met your main objective, staying safe. You’ve lost something small, “teaching the bad guy a lesson”. Which is not your job anyway.
(I did not come up with this idea. I got it from a karate guy I’d occasionally practice with, back in the day.)
Probably got fired for that.
The victim appears to be white-—if he’s black he’s not much blacker than the Pope at best, which in my book isn’t black.
The Pope is definitely blacker than I am, but my blackest ancestors could pass (and fight) as white by 1861-—and named their son Jefferson Davis just in case anyone was unsure about their views on who ought to be in charge in Missouri.
Miracle Whip is fine, sparingly. Mayonnaise 🤢
Ah yes, mayo . . . the whitest of all condiments.
A ketchup—mayo blend is good for fries, IMO.
Canucks put mayo on fries. Try to stop them and see what happens.
For this dude- probably no waste, certainly not a waste for the community.He probably was not thinking that he is in Florida not Chicago or Minneapolis where he might get punished with a “Hey, that wasn’t nice,” as he is ushered out the door.
