Something a little lighter for a very cold Wednesday morning….
Burger King workers arrested in Augusta after beef involving gun
Sadly this didn’t happen at a Wendy’s, I could have rolled out the “Where’s the beef” commercial.
A Burger King brawl that left at least five employees behind bars last week started when two of the workers showed up late, kicking off an argument that quickly spiraled and eventually led someone to pull a gun, authorities said…..
….Although no shots were fired, multiple employees were still throwing hands when deputies arrived, authorities said. One employee did have a gun that he was pointing at another person, but no gun charge was made because no one was willing to sign a statement about the weapon. Also, surveillance video didn’t catch that part of the showdown, authorities said.
Authorities say the argument started when two employees showed up late and the manager got on one of them, sparking the fight. As a result, deputies hauled off five employees for disorderly conduct, with three of them getting photographed in jail wearing their Burger King shirts.
Those arrested include Malcolm Collier, 19, of Thomson; Devin Lewis, 17, of Augusta; Octavione Collier, 19, of Augusta; Kailah Davis, 18, of Augusta; and Anaja Kelly, 20, of Augusta.
If you pull up to a restaurant and the staff looks like this? Keep driving.
If you live in the area and are looking for employment, they are hiring!
All of the arrested workers were fired, according to a Burger King statement made to People magazine. A spokesperson for Burger King told PEOPLE, “This is unacceptable and not the kind of Guest experience that Team Members are trained to offer, so our Franchisee moved quickly to terminate the employment of those involved.”
By Friday, the restaurant had a “Now Hiring” sign posted outside the Deans Bridge Road location.
Too dumb and violent to work at Burger King. What a powerful statement about the quality of diversity in America.
Looks like a good place to eat.
