McDonald's Death Threats: Irate Customers Arrested In Chantilly ICYMI
Three men terrorized a Chantilly McDonald's by threatening to kill the employees over a late order, according to Fairfax County Police.

CHANTILLY, VA — So. You walk into a McDonald's. You order your food. You wait. But then you find yourself waiting longer than you think you should. So you: A) Sigh loudly and try to make withering eye contact with the cashier, B) Loudly mutter "Should have gone to Burger King," or C) Threaten to kill the employees and flash a gun.
If you answered C, you were thinking along the same lines as three men Thursday night in the store at 4424 Chantilly Shopping Center, according to Fairfax County Police.

Around 9 p.m., the men went inside, ordered their food and then became agitated when it didn't arrive in what they believed to be a timely manner. They began to argue with an employee, and that's when one of them threatened to kill the workers and pulled up his shirt to reveal a gun in his his waistband.
