ALBANY, Ga. — Police in Georgia said a man allegedly threw a gasoline bomb at a Taco Bell drive-through window because he felt there wasn’t enough meat in his chalupas.

Albany police said Taco Bell manager Cynthia Thompson received a call shortly before the 5 a.m. Sunday incident from a man who said there was not enough meat in his two chalupas and demanded a corrected order, The Smoking Gun reported Thursday.

Thompson said the man used racial epithets when she told him the restaurant was preparing to close and the man said he was coming to “redecorate the place.”

The manager said she and other employees soon discovered the fire outside of the drive-through window. There was no damage to the building from the fire.

Police said the attacker used a Molotov cocktail, a plastic bottle filled with flammable liquid, to start the blaze.
