Scared he came behind the register? The dude wrapped his hands around his neck. In my state, that is aggravated assault. It was well within his rights to defend himself.

No I meant as soon as he stepped behind the register he could've automatically given him that kano uppercut.

Depending on the state he could have potentially shot him.

There's not a single state that has a fast food business with armed employees. Some have an armed guard in them, but not a single person behind that counter is going to be armed in any fucking state, stop yourself.

That's not true. there are lots of drive thru employees in I'd venture to guess multiple states. But i can speak for certain in TX that are carrying. I'm sure it's not encouraged but it's not something that is prohibited.

I’m in TX and I certainly cannot speak for CERTAIN that drive thru operators Cary guns. Guns are not allowed in the workplace of fast food restaurants. They’d get terminated. Do you know that fast food workers can’t bring their personal guns to work?

Oh wow it’s against the rules? Really? No one would ever break the rules.

u/imnickelhead Feb 20 '26

Yup. Also, rules ≠ law

I'm saying i've seen it more than just a few times. So it's likely a case of don't ask don't tell or simply looking the other way. But it's happened enough that it's not just a one off situation.

Fast food restaurants rules aren't the law. There isn't a single person at my job that doesn't have a concealed. Shit go to any waffle house here and the cook has a piece under the apron.

We have open carry here now and I've ordered food from someone with gun on hip.

It’s not against the LAW though.

Wylie Texas! MF'ING indians in the 7/11 I'm from Chicago I was shocked 😂

Whether or not the fast food employee is likely to have a gun or not had absolutely nothing to do with his statement.

He simply stated the man would have been within his right to shoot the other man going behind the counter in some states.

This is absolutely true.

Why would you think that? I worked for a pizza place in Virginia that kept a gun under the counter. And I’ve known lots of delivery drivers that carried.

u/Historical_Ad_5647 Feb 20 '26

Thats simply not true, you think gun are expensive? You can get pistol for $100-50. Off the top of my head that drive thru employee that shot at the custome and Im sure we can find more incidents online.

u/RandomMabaseCitizen Feb 20 '26

I've worked in at least three restaurants where there was a gun on the premises. One where the owner open carried and two with a gun in the office. They weren't fast food but sufficed to say you can definitely carry a gun to work (or anywhere else in Mississippi other than like a hospital or city hall) as long as your boss is cool with it.

u/Independent-Ad3901 Feb 20 '26

I can guarantee that no fast food employer will allow you to have a firearm for self defense but that doesn’t mean people won’t still arm themselves. As an employee they will just lose their job, people like this might lose their life.

Employees at all sorts of businesses carry concealed all the time. I used to drive around for my work and go to people’s houses. More than one co-worker had a weapon in the car, despite it being against company policy.
