Some people have just got to have their wings (Picture: File)

A father and son drove to a fast food restaurant and pointed an AK-47 machine gun at a cashier after they did not get the chicken wings they ordered.

Antonius Hart Sr and Antonius Hart Jr, drove off from Pirtle’s Chicken in Memphis before realising their wings were missing.

When the pair returned to the drive-thru, the cashier offered to replace the pieces but they demanded more chicken after being forced to drive back to the restaurant, the Commercial Appeal newspaper reported.

Hart Sr, 45, then allegedly revealed the AK-47 he had brought with him.


When another restaurant worker saw the gun, she called police who have charged Hart Sr with aggravated assault and his son, 19, with facilitation of a felony, WMC-TV reported.



The police recovered the weapon and 24 live rounds of ammo.

The restaurant has not commented about the alleged incident but customers gave their opinion to WREG-TV.

‘I guess in this area, people don’t play about their food,’ said Courtney Marable.

Tonya McGraw said it was ‘crazy’ but could improve customer service.

‘Next time they better get them wings right,’ she said.
