ANTELOPE (CBS13) – A violent response to a restaurant order sparked chaos at a Wingstop in Antelope this weekend.
The wings are supposed to be fiery – not the customers – but a cell phone video shows a man wild with wings getting angry about his order. In a video recorded by a witness, a man can be heard saying, “I don’t want the food, I don’t have time to wait for the food again, so what should we do now?”

You can hear an employee say to the man, “Or you get the food remade and you go about your day and stop yelling at my other manager because no, it’s inappropriate.”
Tharon Trujillo, a customer in the store at the time, picked up the man who picked up the register and knocked it to the ground twice before throwing it out the window.
‘I told him to calm down. I said, ‘you don’t want to go to jail, you don’t want to go to jail,’ Trujillo said
Trujillo said he overheard the man say the restaurant had given him the wrong order twice. When the till went through the window, he said it was surrounded by glass.
‘When I saw it, I was definitely a bit shocked, she [employees] were absolutely shaken up, the ladies behind were absolutely shaken up and they were like thanks for staying. It is certainly not what you see every day, ”he said.
The Wingstop restaurant manager says the man claimed he was missing several wings and wanted a refund, which is not allowed for online orders under company policy.
Regulars at the restaurant who have had issues with orders in the past say they are amazed at the response.

“It’s absolutely shocking and overcompensating for five grand pianos. But I understand his anger, certainly not his actions, ”said customer Jason Prado.
His wife Christina Prado, also shocked by the video, said she feels bad for the employees.
“That’s really sad and unfortunate,” she said, “I feel bad for society. I think the pandemic is lurking in humans. “
Jennifer Johnson, who lives in the area, believes “hangry” or not, the destruction is going too far.
“That’s crazy, I mean wings are important, believe me. I love to eat, but it’s not important, ”said Johnson. “I have three children and we go out all the time. Our orders are always confused, guess what? You embrace it. “
Witnesses say the man walked out the door and drove away after smashing the window.
The trial of the order now costs a potentially high price tag. The store manager tells CBS13 that it costs about $ 6,000 to replace the computer-controlled registry, and they are still waiting for a quote to fix the window.
Anything above $ 950 is considered felony vandalism. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, the damage qualifies them to issue a felony for the man’s arrest.
