Going out to get fast food and being stiffed on the sauce is super annoying, but I don’t think mayo is worth getting shot over. Hot sauce, on the other hand, might be.
According to witnesses, when Wesley Robertson pulled into the Checkers fast food drive-through through he had an issue with missing mayo packets. When he brought it up with Elijah Mackey at the window, a less-than-civil conversation kicked off.
Rather than working it out like two grown adults, things became heated. Mackey allegedly climbed through the drive-through window and served Robertson a bullet to the chest instead of extra mayo. As Roberston fell, he hit his head on a wall. Mackey fled the scene.
Police and emergency services arrived at the fast food joint and took the injured man away. However, it was already too late for the mayo-less man, and he succumbed to the shot to his chest. Police were left searching for the alleged Kissimmee, Florida, fast food shooter.
Mayo Maniac Mackey Manacled
Police took off after Mackey, chasing down the armed man. He was eventually caught, hiding underneath the stairwell of a local hotel. Police quickly disarmed him after he told them he still had his gun.
According to the police records, he repeatedly asked the police if the man he had shot in the chest over a mayo packet was okay. Sadly, he was not. He was probably already dead at this point.
Now, Mackey is being held on first-degree premeditated murder. Sauce is serious business, but it’s not worth killing someone over. Mackey is being held without bail, which is a relief. Someone willing to bring a deadly weapon to work, and then shoot someone in the chest over missing mayo, shouldn’t be out on the streets. They’re clearly not stable enough to be in public.
You also kind of have to wonder what on earth he was allegedly doing working at a Checkers drive-through with a pistol? Has ordering a burger and fries become so dangerous in the US that even fast food employees need to be packing? It’s not that serious.
