This woman apparently really did not want any ketchup.

According to the outlet, Vester exchanged words with the restaurant’s employees before pulling out a gun and pointing it at them. She then left the scene and no injuries were reported.

In April, a California woman pleaded guilty and was smacked with jail time for assaulting a McDonald's manager claiming she did not receive enough ketchup with her order.
