A Burger King employee in Florida allegedly shot a customer after he threw mayonnaise at her face, police and local reports said.

Shateasha Hicks, 30, was arrested Thursday and charged with discharging a firearm in public after the incident at the Miami Gardens fast-food joint.

Police said Hicks opened fire on a man after an argument at the drive-thru window.

A relative of Hicks told NBC 6 that the customer she shot had squirted or thrown mayonnaise in her face.

The customer drove off and parked in the Burger King lot, according to a witness.

Hicks then allegedly went to her car, grabbed a gun and squeezed off five shots at the person’s vehicle as they drove away, according to an arrest report obtained by the outlet.

An overreaction yes, but I can't say I'm against the general principle of defending yourself from assault.

Hold the Mayo and pass the bullets.

Guy probably told her it wasn't mayo.

When I was much, much younger I waited tables at Kips Big Boy. Some guy came in and ordered a spaghetti plate (at a hamburger joint?). He had, or pretended to have an Italian accent. I served him and a couple of minutes later he called me over declaring "This is not spaghetti!!) and threw the contents of the plate on me. I went and got the manager and let him handle it.

My point in posting this boring story is...it never crossed my mind to shoot the jerk!!* Times have changed so much that this seems to be an acceptable solution.

*I was only about 17 at the time. If I were working in that industry today, much older me, my response would probably be more...forceful. Which is why I realize I no longer have the temperament.(or the physical stamina)

I had a fellow manager go across the counter at someone who threw food at him, but shoot someone? I fully admit to having a belly full of belligerent ass customers at the end of my food service managing career but I took the exit option, not the nuclear option

So much for the unleaded whopper...
