Surveillance footage captured the moment a Wendy's customer, upset about her order, pulled a gun on the drive-thru worker.
The incident took place at a Wendy's in McDonough, Georgia.
Law enforcement officials said that the woman was driving a car with an adult passenger and several children in the backseat when she brandished the firearm around 11:15 p.m. on March 2.
She brought out the gun, demanding a refund.
“If the gun would have been fired it could have harmed the clerk at the window, subsequent employees or any customers that could have been in the restaurant as well,” said Henry County Police Department Sgt. John Davis.
Investigators said the clerk did well keeping her cool. They've put up wanted posters for the woman and asked anyone with information to call the police.
Alexander Shannon, a fast-food drive-thru window clerk that works elsewhere, said that he keeps his cool no matter what happens. “You never know what someone is going through, you can never, no matter what or who the person is, they might be going through something that you have no idea about or you don’t understand at all,” said Shannon.
"She cocks it back like she was going to shoot me," the cashier said. "All of a sudden, there was a black gun pointed directly at me."
According to the clerk, the woman was upset that she had to wait for her card to be approved.
Boy, 4, Finds Razor in McDonald’s Happy Meal Box
A Wisconsin boy eating a McDonald’s Happy Meal reportedly discovered a razor blade inside.When they got home, Emmett discovered a handheld scraping tool with a sharp razor blade attached.
The boy pulled it out of the Happy Meal bag and began to play with it.
“He was super excited he had a new toy,” Dymond told Channel 3000. “He started waving it around and I realized it was actually a razor knife.”
The worried father then called the McDonald’s manager to report the dangerous item.
But the angry father said he didn’t want to be compensated, adding, “I want my kid to be safe and everyone else’s kids to be safe.”
“I couldn’t imagine him cutting his arm open, or even losing a finger, because it’s so sharp,” he told Channel3000. “I was very upset, very angry. I couldn’t figure out how it would’ve even gotten in there.”
Dymond said he then contacted the Columbus Police Department in Wisconsin.
Officers took the scraper tool back to the manager at the McDonald’s, and the manager confirmed the item was used by staff as a cleaning device at the location.
