We all know the frustration when a restaurant gets your order wrong. Some people call them to complain, others might be angry enough to physically go back to get it fixed. But I don't think many others would go as far as this UK teen did.
As reported by the New York Post, a UK teen has been jailed after he pulled a gun and threatened to murder a chicken restaurant worker. The reason? He received the wrong sauce in his takeaway order. Marwan Khadir, only 18 years old, got 3 years in prison for the horrifying stunt he pulled at the Penge High Street restaurant in London. The incident happened on Christmas Eve last year.
He had gone in to the restaurant to order some chicken, and asked for it to-go. Security footage from the restaurant shows Khadir specifically asking the employee "How many garlic sauces did you put in the bag?". After the employee replied "Four", Khadir went back to his apartment.
But, as footage from his apartment shows, he was absolutely fuming. He apparently received burger sauce rather than garlic sauce. He was seen pacing around his apartment as he phoned the restaurant up to complain. But, he didn't seem to think that was working, so he went back there.

The UK Teen Threatened To Murder the Employee
When the teen returned to the shop, he confronted the employee. "Bossman, come here," he said, before telling him to open the side door by the counter. After proceeding to lunge at the worker, he pulled out what appeared to be a pistol, cocking it and threatening to murder the worker.
"I'm going to kill you now, are you mad?" he shouted. But, after police arrested him on January 2, the gun was found to be an imitation firearm. He later pleaded guilty to carrying a fake gun with the intent of causing fear of violence, as well as making threats to kill. He was jailed for 3 years.
Amy Cross, a Detective Sergeant for the Metropolitan Police, said that the victim had "strength" to come forward about the attack. He had come forward about the attack on Christmas day.
