Trigger Warning: The article mentions details about a violent brawl.
Have you been to Whataburger? Have you ever had your order mixed up? Yeah, chicken wings in place of French Fries or lime juice in place of a diet soda? Well, for some, it might be a minor issue; usually, if that happens, you would go to the restaurant or call them online to get it replaced, right?
But not in Texas. An incident like that resulted in a massive fight in a Whataburger in San Antonio, Texas.
According to police, the confusion began when one group mistakenly received another table’s order. Instead of the staff addressing the issue, the other party was reportedly told, “They have your food,” according to a Facebook post by Rebecca Noel, the mother of one of those involved.
A viral video showcased the horrible brawl, showing multiple people engaged in separate fistfights, with individuals punching and kicking others to the ground. Pictures from the scene show blood smeared across booths and the floor of the fast-food restaurant.
