Harrisburg, Pa. - An employee of a fast food restaurant in suburban Harrisburg is accused of punching a customer during a confrontation over a drive-thru order, according to police.
Lower Paxton Township police said they are looking for the employee, 35-year-old Michael D. White, and plan to charge him with simple assault in the Monday afternoon incident outside the Burger King at 950 East Park Drive.
Police said the customer, a 59-year-old Lancaster man, reported that he placed an order and asked for the prices to be displayed on the drive-thru screen. When the employee refused to show the prices, police say the customer called the employee a derogatory name and drove up to the window.
Police said White removed his headset, exited the store after telling the manager to clock him out, walked up to the vehicle, punched the customer in the side of the head and threw a soda on him, and then left.
The customer sustained swelling and a bruise on the side of his head, according to police.
