Two women, 23-year-old Katrina Bryant and 21-year-old Melanese Reid, were arrested when police found them driving down the road less than one mile from the restaurant.
Employees told WFTV the whole incident started with some yelling about condiments. It took a turn for the worst when one of the women allegedly came in brandishing a stun gun.
Wendy's employees scattered when the woman, upset about what she didn't get at the drive-thru, rushed in firing the stun gun.
"She walked in with a taser and she was like pressing it, ‘Zz, zz, zz!' And then she walked in Wendy's, came in the back and tried to tase Jason. It was crazy," employee Malcolm Nelson described.
Reid was upset, employees said, because she didn't get the mayonnaise and mustard packets she asked for and doubly upset at what she perceived to be a dirty look from an employee.
"It was just a bunch of foul language, f-you, f-this, that kind of situation. We're all like, ‘Back off, get out of here!' Then they reached in, started slapping people." Nelson said.
Employees said when they saw Reid reach back into her car and grab something black, most of them ran.
"I went out the back door, the security door, and ran to 7-Eleven. They let me borrow a cell phone and I called in a description, 'cause I didn't know if it was a gun or not," employee Rob Vanchough said.
Back inside, employees said the woman ran behind the counter, chasing one worker, before eventually giving up, jumping back into her car and driving away.
"Nobody got tased, but he was going to get tased if he didn't run all the way back," Nelson said.
The two women were arrested and are facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and principle to assault.
