A Los Angeles Taco Bell worker was fatally shot Saturday night by a customer who tried to purchase a drive-thru order with a phoney $20 bill, a report said. The victim, identified by relatives to KABC as Alejandro Garcia, was working with his son at the fast food restaurant when he was killed at about 11 p.m. The shooting happened after Alejandros son got into an argument with two men who tried to pay for their order with a fake bill, relatives told the news outlet. During the argument, one of the men started shooting, according to the report. Garcias son tried to close the drive-thru window to stop the bullets, but at least one of them made it inside and struck his father in the torso. My nephew was close by so he closed the window but the shots they went in, Garcias cousin, Nancy Garcia del Sol, told the news outlet. [Garcia] got shot in the heart, and thats what killed him, and he died there in front of his sons presence, Garcias cousin, Nancy added. No arrests were made as of early Monday, according to police. Relatives said Garcia worked one night a week at Taco Bell to help earn extra cash for his family. The father leaves behind three children.

Some fast food restaurants around here have like a bank teller/gas station window inside with the bullet resistant glass. Apparently they need to add them to drive thrus as well.

it's more than that. when the worker didn't take his fake money it dishonored him.

though getting so angry to shoot someone over that is uncalled for.

major impacts to all parties involved.

...What the fuck does BLM have to do with any of this?

Anyway, hope the shooter gets caught and gets what they deserve. Imagine killing someone over a goddamn fake $20.

People with anger and/ or impulse control issues that should never have been allowed access to a gun and in any reasonable country would have had to go to great lengths on the black market to attain one, thus greatly reducing the likelihood of ever actually getting far enough to fire one.

I wouldn't take a job for $25 hour if there's a chance I'm going to get shot.

I wonder how obvious of a fake $20 it was. Did the kid have a keen eye or were the shooters trying to pass some Monopoly money as real?

I wonder if they're going to tell employees to just start accepting the bills and then silently alert security.

When the cashier denies the person's bill directly, it seems to trigger them immensely.

Seriously what I would do, nothing worth getting shot over. They even ask bank tellers to just hand over what you got. Its insured.

pretty much everywhere that has a register has a special pen or light that can be used to test a bill to determine if it's fake.

Yeah we had one of those when I worked fast food but we were only told to use it on hundreds. Something about the 20 must've rubbed the guy the wrong way.
