Police are still searching for the chili sauce shooter, who drove off with a woman in his car.

What? Most fast food places I've seen have a surveillance camera in the drive-thru near the window. Are these just for show?

Do you know what is meant by the words, uhh...? I hate to use them.
They're ... they're so harsh, so american. You know what I mean?
And yet on the other hand, they're exciting words. The words, Chili sauce

[/Morris Day]

Every time I go through the Wendy's drive-thru, I ask for "a lot" of ketchup. They give me 8-10 packets without any hassle.

As much as I love Wendy's chili sauce on pretty much everything, I have to say this is a *tad* excessive.

What on earth did he need all those packets for? Can you make methamphetamines out of them or something?

Wait, he demanded 10 packets and got 10, despite the fact that he's supposedly limited to 3 and still demanded more? And then shot the manager. This guy is a piece of work.

@B: I don't have any sort of medical degree (nor claim to), but it's pretty apparent that the "customer" had other underlying issues aside from a want for extra chili sauce.

Y'know, I didn't even have to check

...that this was...a...Florida...

Boy, comments posting themselves before you're done typing really mess with your mental flow.

And here I was thinking that 1 package makes a small cup chili hot enough.

You could say that guy was...condimented...

Sorry.

things are a bit different here in Miami, ask for something, get it, then shoot the supplier for not moving fast enough!

Just upcharge for additional packets. Overseas some places charge for any condiments, and my local McDonald's has a sign saying they charge for extra. (Can I get a stipend for all the times they didn't give me ketchup or dipping sauce?)

Oh its a Florida story.... totally understand it now.

Soon, the Fark tags will come...

What's with all the Florida hate? I plan to move there, due to my bf and a number of our friends being down there and they are all smart. The DRIVERS are idiots, but what's with the state hate?

They also do things like allow you to freeze your credit report, which Missouri doesn't allow at ALL and they also have programs allowing you to use solar power and sell back to the grid which MO doesn't do at ALL and so on.

I'd say it's MO that has its head up its ass, not FL.

Awesome...Consumerism in action. Don't take "NO" for an answer!

Good thing they put enough guacamole on the damned burger or: rocket propelled grenade!

Buran - two words: Katherine Harris.

@Steve518: Ok, now that was worth shooting someone over.

Since it's in Florida, all the driver has to do to get off without any charge is make the case that he thought the manager was threatening him (look up Florida's abhorrent "shoot first" law).

I know that when I--being a sensible Amurican--find it deeply threatening when I'm refused anything I want to consume.

@davere said: And here I was thinking that 1 package makes a small cup chili hot enough.

Nah, If you want to make the chili good, you need at least 2, maybe 3 packets of the fiery stuff. Anymore than that, and you're taking you're own life in your hands.

As for why anyone needs 10 packets... I dunno. Maybe kerry is on to something with the meth-making theory.

This is the

This is the exact reason why I DO NOT frequent fast food restaurants. I hate the lousy service, crappy food, and moronic policies. It could have easily been me pulling that trigger.

@MisterE:

We, who DO occasionally utilize fast food establishments, thank you for your non-patronage and lack of gunplay...

And let the terrorists win? Hardly!

It's Miami. People are @#$%in crazy down here.

@tcabeen:

It must the heat and humidity driving 'em crazy. Can't wait until global warming sets in with a vengeance and everybody starts shooting everybody else!

I feel a little bad saying this, but, I, you know, laughed when I read the title.

Just reminded me a trip to my local Wendy's a few months back. A homeless man was standing at the ketchup dispenser and drinking from it. Refilling his little cup, then drinking again.

We asked for packets that day.

I will say, though, that they were going to ask the man to leave, but he took off.

Now that we've had the Hostess Twinkie defense, we'll have the Wendy's chili sauce defense.

MisterE, if you could provide a list of other services where you will not be, that'd be great. Then, I can go there, unafraid of your itchy trigger finger.

10 packet guy was stocking up to use on other items he did not buy at Wendy's. This practice is so common these days that restaurants had to make up these inane policies or they could go broke.

Condiments are not "free." They are included with your purchase. You ask for 10 packets of ketchup with your 99 cent fries and you are seriously cutting into a narrow profit margin.

@trai_dep: And to add to what's wrong with Florida for Buran, I will add to the list Jeb Bush, and the Terry Schiavo debacle.

@Buran: Its actually a oddity, that most of the US's crazies live in both California, and Florida.

If you read Fark, they even have a Florida label due to the overwhelming number of weird or just plain stupid ass stories that come out of that state.

Knowing the people who live there (like my boss) it explains a LOT about that states population.

@GreatCaesarsGhost:
The profits on fries are enormous!
Ray Kroc always said that the fries paid for everything.

Here in Chicago, a number of McDonald's have the same policy limiting the number of sauce packets with chicken nuggets to 3, with additional ones 15¢.
But they will give you an unlimited number of ketchup packets.
Makes no sense, but when did McD ever make sense!

@Steve518:

A winnar is you.

Seriously though, this guy just sounds like some drunk prick on a power trip.
