Disaster Customer shot KFC worker after being told St. Louis restaurant was out of corn

A customer shot and critically injured a worker at a KFC in St. Louis over a lack of corn.

The man was placing an order in the eatery’s drive-thru lane Monday evening when employees informed him the restaurant was out of corn, police said.

The man grew enraged and threatened the employees over the drive-thru speaker box at the fast food joint located at 5020 Delmar Blvd. in the Central West End neighborhood.

He then drove up to the drive-thru window with a handgun, according to cops.

A 25-year-old employee went out to speak with the man and came back into the KFC minutes later, yelling that he had been shot.

He was shot in the abdomen and taken to an area hospital, where he was listed in critical but stable condition as of Tuesday morning, according to local NBC affiliate KSDK.

The gunman, described as a man in his 40s or 50s, drove off following the shooting and remains at large.

Whites can't keep getting away with this.

Another sacrifice to the corn Gods. The winter harvest is upon us, brothers.

A man snaps over a trivial matter and tries to take the life of someone else in blind retaliation? Gotta be a white guy.

That reminds me: Ralph hasn't been featured in a hot minute. Last thing I remember was the bowling trophy, or the second Portugal Punting.

well I was at the chicken shack around the block
with a lust for corn and a loaded glock
but the drive-thru guy said I was outta luck
the day the tendies died

Once again, reality shows itself to be a pale imitation of memes. Truly a prophetic medium.

But really, how do you run out of corn, and how do you love corn to a murderous extent like that. Its not like fast food corn is any better than a can of corn, if your craving it that bad.

Well, that certainly narrows it down.

Might be a tad sexist and transphobic, though, with the whole "gunMAN" word and assuming of gender. I think it is ageist as well, since you can't know someone's age by looking at them as there are other factors that can cause the white supremacist descriptions of old age to manifest.

I've taken the liberty of updating the description to something acceptable in 2022*:

The gun wielder, described as a post-pubescent human

Do better.


*description may be speciesist, please consult your local University for more details

The NY Post's description of the suspect seems a little generic. Strangely, other reports are more specific:

St. Louis police on Tuesday said they were searching for the gunman who got away. The suspect is described as a Black man, 40 to 50 years old, who has a thin build, scruffy beard and was wearing a white and gray brimmed hat, a blue jean jacket with gray hood and sleeves.

Jimmy lack corn, and I do care.

Its not like fast food corn is any better than a can of corn, if your craving it that bad.

If you sit down and listen to a food insecurity sermon for long enough, it will become readily apparent that expecting poors to be able to afford tools with which they can cook their free food (crock pot, cutting board, pans, stove, measuring cups, can opener) is unrealistic, because SNAP won't pay for all the steps required to prepare the food.

Expecting someone have the capacity to heat up a can of corn is some shade of white supremacy.

And no, I don't understand how these people afford microwaves.

Should the shooter get caught: hang him.

At this rate, I wonder if it'll be better get the KFC/McDonalds/Burger King/Wendy's employees armed?

 

[Hitman One]

I could understand this reaction if they were out of gravy, but corn?

Probably just cover everything in bullet-proof glass, they push your food through a small slot.

I cannot even begin to imagine what kind of a scumbag you have to be to try to take someone's life and throw your life away over fifty cents of corn.

Someone should tell him it's Colonel Sanders, not Kernel Sanders. Damn I wish I thought of this earlier. Stupid brain.
