A Subway restaurant employee threatened the life of a customer after he ordered a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with ketchup and the employee said they were out of stock which nearly led to a fight between the two, according to reports.
Customer Luis Martinez entered an Orlando Subway shop inside a Walmart and placed his order, asking for ketchup to be added, according to WFTV. The employee, Lawrence Ordone, did not do so, stating there was none. Martinez did not want the sandwich without the condiment and the next customer in line offered to pay for the sandwich as it was made.
Ordone said that Martinez mouthed off at the man.
Martinez denied saying anything, but neither he or Ordone disputed what they said happened next.
"That's when I flew off the handle," said Ordone.
"He shoved a chair to the side, like knocked it down to come at me, and I said, 'This is going to be serious,'" said Martinez.
"I said, 'Let's go, fight me like a man,'" said Ordone.
"I was scared. Next thing, I'm thinking a gun's going to come out," said Martinez.
Ordone was fired. "You can go buy your own ketchup, and I promise to God, you can put as much as you want on it," he said. Or you could just eat at a different restaurant. Ordone was not arrested.
