The sad thing about being a restaurant worker is sometimes telling folks that you’re out of their favorite item is all the motive a mad man needs to let loose.

This reminds me of the time when popeyes chicken sandwich came out and was brand new and everyone was dieing to try it. Until someome actually died for skipping the line in the restaurant and someone felt some kinda way and it went out into the parking lot and one of the two got stabbed to death. Resulting in the killer arrested for life and the victim dead so neither got to ever try the sandwich
