'Somebody Better Give Me My Food': Woman Pulls Gun On Philadelphia Chipotle Cashier Demanding Food, Police Say

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police are searching for a woman caught on camera pulling a gun while in line at a Chipotle in the Rhawnhurst section of Philadelphia last weekend. It happened on Saturday night just before 5 p.m. at the restaurant located at 2337 Cottman Ave.

Police say the woman pulled the firearm and asked to speak to a manager after the cashier instructed customers waiting in line the store had to close and they could order online due to staffing issues. The cashier immediately pressed the security button to alert mall security, police say.
