A McDonald's drive-through was shot up early Sunday after a customer was angered that the restaurant had shifted from the lunch menu to the breakfast menu, police said.
The driver of a white Dodge Intrepid pulled into the drive-through at about 2 a.m. at McDonald's at 210 W. 500 South in Salt Lake City and ordered food from the lunch and dinner menu, police said.
When a clerk told her the restaurant was serving only items from the breakfast menu, the woman drove to the second window, police said. Two men got out of the car, and one pulled a sawed-off shotgun out of the trunk, police said. He fired once or twice into the drive-though window before the two men and the woman left on 500 South and turned north on 300 West, police said.
The Intrepid was last seen going west over the viaduct on 400 South. The shooter was described as Polynesian, 6 feet 1 inch tall, with long hair in a ponytail, a beanie cap and a white T-shirt, police said.
No one was injured in the shooting, police said. Officers did not know how many employees were in the restaurant at the time.
They shoulda gone to Denny’s. :-)
Me, I wouldn’t expect a Salt Lake City denizen to know what a Polynesian looks like with enough specificity to so ID the perp.
Minimum wage, and you’re right. With the crap they have to put up with from the customers on a good day, much less being shot at.....
Pfffttt..... You owe me a new keyboard.
Make that fish with an orange drink, too.
Try to imagine being a 17 year old teen age girl, having to work at McDonald’s with 40 year illegal aliens that don’t speak English.
I like McDonalds. However, the breakfast/lunch switch thing is annoying. How hard would it be to include a limited breakfast menu all day long?
Bloom County was the best. There will never be another.
It wasn’t just “a bunch of Mexicans”. It was 21 innocent people including an infant, a 9 year old, and three eleven year olds...
I saw a picture of the body of a boy lying by his bicycle after the massacre. It has haunted me ever since. People who shoot kids like that belong in the lowest pits of Hell.

I’ll never forget my temperamental 2 yo dd’s reaction to her first Happy Meal. “THIS IS NOT MAKING ME HAPPY!!”
Will that be the gefilte fish?
Cutty can’t hang
LOL!
There's LOTS of Mormon Tongans in Salt Lake. Lots. Enough to know what Islanders look like.
There is a very large Polynesian population in Utah because the LDS church began sending missionaries to Hawaii, Samoa and Tonga in the mid 19th century. The assumption makes sense given the context.
