Cops Hunt Man Who Firebombed Taco Bell Because His Chalupas Had Too Little Meat

[n2doc]

Georgia police are hunting for the aggrieved Taco Bell customer who threw a Molotov cocktail at the restaurant’s drive-thru window after phoning in a complaint that there was not enough meat in the chalupas he had purchased.

The bizarre incident occurred around 5 AM Sunday at a Taco Bell on North Slappey Boulevard in Albany. The small blaze did not cause injuries or damage to the building.

According to a police report, Taco Bell manager Cynthia Thompson told cops that, shortly before the firebombing, a man called the restaurant to complain about a reported meat shortage in his “two XL Chalupas.” The caller told Thompson that “after getting home realized that there was not enough stuffing inside of his chalupas, and demanded his order be corrected.”

When Thompson explained that she “could not accommodate him because the business was closing,” the man replied, “You must be one of them niggers up there.” He added, “That’s alright, I’ll just come and redecorate the place.”

1. Automatic Rec for using the inherently humorous word "Chalupas" in the subject line

And for the fact that Taco Bell's version of Chalupas has almost no resemblance to the real thing.

2. Advice to workers anywhere: If someone calls you pissed off saying they will "redecorate the place"

Call the cops!

Those freakin Chalupans (R) have some damn nerve.

4. It wasn't too long ago that someone went back to Taco Bell with a shotgun

(or some kind of gun) because he didn't get any sauce.

They may not be real chalupas but I like Taco Bell Chalupas.

6. Meat? There's meat in those? Srsly?

With the price of gasoline, he could have bought some ground beef and put some in there for less than the cost of the Molotov cocktail.

7. He apparently didn't see this:

So according to Lewis Black - a Duraflame log has more meat than a Taco Bell XL Chalupa.

8. TOO weird: a Taco Bell commercial for chalupas was on when I clicked on this thread.
