A Chipotle employee was held up and brutally beaten by two unruly customers who were informed they would be charged extra for chicken.
Jamel Bernard Williams, 36, and Kayla Nicole Pyle, 34, face charges for the aggravated assault of an unidentified employee at an Indian Land Chipotle on Dec. 10, according to the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspects – both from Charlotte, North Carolina – arrived at the restaurant chain around 9pm when Plye placed her order and allegedly asked for extra chicken for her meal.
The 20-year-old Chipotle employee then informed Plye that it would be an additional cost for the extra protein, leading to a verbal altercation between the two, Queens City News reported.
The frustrated worker opted to leave work early because of the dispute, but the encounter soon turned violent on his way out.
