Ohio Man Pulls Gun On Burger King Worker Who Gave Him A Discount

Police in Willowick, Ohio, are searching for a man who took the old saying, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” to an illogical and extreme conclusion.

The man in question was caught on camera pointing a gun at a Burger King employee who was offering hima discount on his order on Easter Sunday, according to Cleveland CBS affiliate 19 News.

Employee Howard Tim Vernon is still shocked by the customer’s reaction to his attempt to save the buyer some cash on his order.

“To know that somebody would do something like that just because I’m trying to give you a better deal and it flip out like that, it is scary,” Vernon told 19 News.

Vernon, 38, said the customer ordered two sausage, egg and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit and hashbrowns, which came out to $8 — less than the man expected.

“He was like, ‘My order can’t be right it, it should be like $11,’ and I’m trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on and, like, it’s cheaper,” Vernon said. “He started cussing and getting all loud, and I was like, ‘Well, I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t know why you want to pay more money.’”

The customer left, only to return with a cocked gun that he pointed at Vernon as the employee was serving another customer.

“He’s just saying, ‘I should kill you, n*****.’ He just kept saying that,” Vernon told Cleveland ABC affiliate News 5. “As he was pulling off, he was saying, ‘This place was ran so much better when it was ran by white people.’”

Vernon told the station he had never seen the man before Sunday’s incident and that he no longer works at Burger King.

“It’s just really crazy that somebody could do that. I’m thankful he didn’t pull the trigger,” he said.
