Chipotle customer threatens staff with a rod: 'Somebody better give me my food!'
2021-09-25
[NYPOST] This is the moment a hungry Chipotle customer whips out a rosco gun and shouts, "Somebody better give me my food!" after being told the restaurant is closing soon.

Surveillance video, released by police Wednesday, shows the woman threatening a cashier at a Chipotle in the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia last Saturday night.

Police said the unidentified woman was waiting in line to order just before 5 p.m. when the manager announced the store was closing soon.

The manager said all remaining customers had to place their orders online because the restaurant was short on staff.

The footage shows the woman slowly pulling out a black handgun from her bag and waving it at employees behind the counter as she demands to speak to the manager.

#2  I'd wager their better food sales are over lunch and if you can only crew one shift, that's the one, the 9-5. Not sure what the closing procedures are, but I bet they start no later than 4. Personally I would probably have the crew show up at 10 so there is the extra hour after 5 for cleaning/tomorrow prep without the overtime costs.

Then again, I was in fast food joint which I swear was running a skeleton crew on purpose, counting on the patience and covid protocol understanding of the customer to wait 30 minutes.

#1  A couple things about this story: We've been told for a long time that Chipotle customers are the hippest, most chill fast food customers there are. So what's this deal? And, yeah, I do know lots of jobs are going wanting and food products are in short supply due to covidian market distortions, but closing at 5 pm? Seems a bit odd.
