It\u2019s no secret that fast food can bring out the worst in people. From \u2018Karens\u2019 melting down over getting \u201ctoo much ketchup\u201d on their burgers to customers being outright ignored at drive-thrus, there have been a number of infamous fast food incidents that have taken social media by storm. However, the latest drama stemming from a fast food dispute is dropping jaws all over the internet after a McDonald\u2019s employee was sent to the hospital. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, March 16, when a 17-year-old employee was taking an order at a McDonald\u2019s drive-thru located in Nashville, Tennessee. McDonald\u2019s employee hospitalized after shootout over order According to statements from other workers, a red Chevrolet sedan pulled up to the drive-thru window to pay for their order when an argument broke out between the customers inside the car and the teen employee. The disgruntled customers reportedly claimed that they\u2019d been charged too much for their order. Things escalated when one of the passengers in the back pulled out a pistol. In response to the firearm, the teen pulled out his own gun, and the two parties began shooting at each other through the window. The teen ended up getting injured during the shootout and was sent to the hospital, with police saying he was \u201ccritically injured\u201d but is now in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre. McDonald\u2019s has since released a statement addressing the shooting, saying they are \u201cdeeply saddened by the senseless act of violence that took place in our Dickerson Pike restaurant early this morning.\u201d Currently, the location is cooperating with law enforcement as their investigation into the incident continues \u2014 but this is far from the first time violence has broken out at a fast food spot. Last year, a viral brawl broke out at a McDonald\u2019s in Nova Scotia after a customer didn\u2019t get a Pokemon card in their Happy Meal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
