It was far from a happy dinner.
According to WESH, on Thursday, an irate Florida woman pointed a loaded gun at terrified McDonald’s employees in a dispute over free cookies.
Amari Hendrix, 24, was on her way to a McDonald’s restaurant in Altamonte Springs when she started arguing with an employee about her right to free cookies.
The employee eventually passed the pastry to appease Hendrix, but the gesture did little to calm the situation and the argument continued.
Police said she then allegedly pulled out a black pistol, inserted a magazine, reversed the breech and pointed the firearm at the roadway.
The abrupt escalation startled the staff, who retreated inside the restaurant and tried to lock the front door.
But Hendrix was able to get inside and allegedly attacked the male worker, scratching his face and neck, before his colleague called 911 and the police arrived.

Hendrix initially refused to comply with the officers’ demands, but was eventually taken into custody.
The cookie clash resulted in several charges against Hendrix, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and resisting arrest.
