How come there is so many shootings at fast food places?

Question

WTF is happening to society?

Memphis, Tennessee – A tragic incident unfolded at a Church’s Chicken in Tennessee when an argument between an employee and a customer turned deadly on Monday night. The Memphis police are now searching for the customer, a woman with purple hair, who was caught on surveillance video at the fast-food establishment located on Park Avenue, about six miles southeast of downtown Memphis.

According to police reports, the fatal shooting occurred just before 9 p. m., resulting in the employee’s untimely death. After responding to the scene, authorities found the victim and rushed her to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The victim’s identity has not been disclosed.
The unidentified employee had engaged in a verbal altercation with the woman sporting purple hair, who was driving a teal-colored compact SUV, at the drive-thru window. The motive behind their argument remains unclear.

INCIDENT # 2

San Antonio, Texas – Law enforcement authorities in Texas are actively searching for two individuals suspected of fatally shooting the manager of a Sonic fast-food restaurant. The motive for the murder appears to be a heated argument over the suspects’ order and money, according to officials.

The tragic incident took place on Sunday evening, as 33-year-old Daniel Shrewsbury was working at the Sonic location on Babcock Road. Authorities released three images of the suspects, which were captured by security footage inside the restaurant, in the hopes that the public can help identify them.

According to local news outlet KSAT, the altercation occurred around 9:40 p. m. in the drive-thru or parking lot area. Shrewsbury allegedly engaged in a verbal argument with one of the suspects, which swiftly escalated. Tragically, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot Shrewsbury at least once before fleeing the scene in a vehicle.

You have to admit that the employees at the fast food windows are the worst at getting everything you ordered into the bag to go.
Then when you get home open the bag they left out items you ordered, gave you someone else's order, etc.
They know that you probably aren't going to want to get back in your car and go back to get what you ordered.
This happens a lot and it's happened to me so many times that Iiterally check all of the items in the bag before we drive off.
It's fast food and the employees that work there try to do their job too fast and get orders wrong. And they aren't the brightest people working in fast food places.
The other thing I would like to add is that people these days are under a lot of stress. It's everywhere. America 🇺🇸 has changed from what it used to be and not for the better.
So, getting someone's order incorrect at the drive through could be the straw that broke the camel's back and they go ballistic because someone can't even get a frickin hamburger and fries or tacos right. Because really, it's not that hard to get an order right or flip burgers.
I know they could have never done my job I did when I was working. So, getting someone's order right isn't that hard if they slow down and listen very carefully when talking the orders. Then repeat it back to the customer before you send it to be filled.
Also it's fricken hot everywhere which makes people grouchy and sitting in a hot car waiting in line at a fast food place only to have to go around again and wait in line in the hot car can set some people off! It's all just too much for them.
I am not sticking up for the people that killed fast food employees at all. It's very wrong.
But I have to say even with my easy going personality those fast food places especially the drive through have really gotten me very mad too many things getting my order wrong and I don't know it until I get home - and they don't care either!
You asked for reasons and I gave enough of them based on my own experience with fast food windows.

It's those weird. poisons in the purple hair dye that must be to blame. (Yes, it's sarcasm). And I suppose one could say that $16 for a FF meal DESERVES a bullet, but that should be dealt with as a concept rather than taking it out on an individual. If I have need to question something in a store/shop/business, the first thing I say after stating that there is a problem is something, "I know this isn't your fault", or "I realize you don't set the rules here", so they no it isn't a personal affront. I had to return a bad bottle of milk yesterday. So I explained to the clerk, "I know this isn't your fault", but that this was the second time in two weeks that this store's milk had gone bad. The first time there was a potential question of how long it had been in our fridge, and even though it was "in code", we just dumped it and got a new one. The new one went sour even more quickly, so this time I explained to the clerk what had happened- twice- and that time I WAS going to take the store up on its' "twice as nice" policy of a price refund plus the replacement product. She told me to go back, grab a replacement and come back. I did, and mentioned that several of the milks there were on the final day code. She thanked me for telling her about the closing day code and that she'd have a Stocker pull them, returned the cost of my return, and gave me the replacement. It IS possible to handle things rationally.

But when political hacks and "rights or this or that" enter into the picture, logic goes out the window. And since there is almost no prosecution for these "minor" crimes, they get away with them. And that leads to even worse crimes the next time, even shooting with illegally obtained guns because someone "has a right" to this or that.

We're in the last days the Bible said that just before Jesus comes the world would become like this lawlessness, ungrateful disrespectful, people will be lovers of themselves. I believe this is the most selfish generation to ever live

But I’d like to know is why is so many people carrying guns at the fast food joints? When people are angry, they don’t think, rational, and certainly should not be armed with a gun at the time

Sasquach · Answer

People who have options are generally not the ones who shoot up places.

Having no options means they lack the money, connections, knowledge and or talent for rising in society. In other words, places that cater to these people will have the most problems dealing with non conformity.

Fast food restaurants provide high caloric food at relatively cheaper prices - they are hot beds for people who lack options
