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.

From “drive-bys” to “drive throughs”.

Remember the movie “Falling Down” with Michael Douglas? He went into a fast food place at 11:30 am and wanted breakfast, and was told that breakfast was over, and it was time to serve items from the lunch menu. And he pulled out his gun and they made him breakfast.

Before he began writing “Bloom County”, Berke Breathed did a cartoon for the student newspaper at the University of Texas which included the character that became Steve Dallas.

In one cartoon, he shows Steve going into a Burger King. The girl behind the counter says cheerily “Welcome to Burger King! May I have your order?”

“Yes,” says Steve. “I’d like a double meat Whopper with cheese all the way but without the bun.”

“But, sir,” said the girl, “the bun comes with it.”

“I don’t care, says Steve testily, “I want a double meat Whopper with cheese all the way but without the bun.”

“Look,” says the girl, “you get the bun for free. It’s part of the sandwich...”

“What does that sign say?,” asks Steve, pointing at the counter.

“Have it your way,” she says.

“Well, MY way is a double meat Whopper with cheese all the way without the bun. Are you going to get me that?”

“But, sir, it’s just a slogan.”

“Yeah, and Watergate is just a hotel. Now gimme my double meat Whopper with cheese all the way without the bun!”

“Okay, okay,” she relents. She leans into the microphone and speaks “One double meat Whopper with cheese all the way without the bun. Yes, you heard me. Without the bun.”

Turning back to Steve and trying to regain her composure, she asks, “Will there be anything else?”

“Yeah, I’d like a large strawberry shake without the cup.”

Do you remember the mental patient who mowed down a couple dozen Mexicans at a San Ysidro McDonalds? The Whammy Burger scene was inspired by that story.

I eat my breakfast early, and occasionally stop at Mickey D’s for a dbl cheeseburger. It is difficult to swallow when at five minutes to ten, they say they can’t do it ‘cause it is still on breakfast. I wouldn’t point a gun, but I’ve driven away many a time.

I go to that McDonalds every once in a while. It is run completely by Mexicans and always has beggars sitting on the sidewalk outside. My wife and I stopped there last month and the guy at the counter didn’t even speak English. My wife asked him a simple question, repeating it several times in different ways to try to get him to understand. Eventually someone came from the back and helped us. I’m not surprised that they had trouble there.

Nothing new here in NYC. A nearby McDonalds has had several incidents in the last few years, all at the drive-thru window.
They include 2 shootings through the window, hot coffee and food tossed in the face of the cashier and an incident where a customer who got the usual wrong order returned and threw dogsh*t through the windows. Most of the problems seem to be related to wrong orders which is not surprising since everyone in the place can barely speak English.

When Chuck Norris was denied an Egg McMuffin at McDonald’s because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy’s.

"The shooter was described as Polynesian, 6 foot l inch tall........"

How did they know he was Polynesian....was he wearing a grass skirt along with his beanie and tee shirt?
