Chipotle customer threatens staff with gun: ‘Somebody better give me my food!’


This is the moment a hangry Chipotle customer whips out a gun and shouts, “Somebody better give me my food!” after being told the restaurant is closing soon.  

Surveillance video, released by police Wednesday, shows the woman threatening a cashier at a Chipotle in the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia last Saturday night.

Police said the unidentified woman was waiting in line to order just before 5 p.m. when the manager announced the store was closing soon.

The manager said all remaining customers had to place their orders online because the restaurant was short on staff.

The footage shows the woman slowly pulling out a black handgun from her bag and waving it at employees behind the counter as she demands to speak to the manager.

Police said the woman started making threats, saying there would be a problem if someone didn’t make her food.

The woman briefly put the gun back in her bag after an employee said they’d make her order, police said.

But she pulled the pistol back out moments later and demanded: “Somebody better give me my food!”
