Atlanta Subway customer shoots workers, killing one, during argument over ‘too much mayo,’ report says

Atlanta shooting occurred in downtown Subway restaurant

A Subway restaurant employee in Atlanta was killed and another wounded after a customer shot them during an argument over mayonnaise on Sunday, according to a local report.

The shooting unfolded around 6:30 p.m. at a Subway restaurant on Northside Drive Southwest in the city’s downtown, Atlanta police said.

"Believe it or not, it was about too much mayonnaise on his sandwich," the location’s owner Willie Glenn told FOX5 Atlanta about what sparked the incident.

Glenn said that the customer escalated the situation and "all hell broke loose."

Glenn said the deceased woman’s young son was in the establishment at the time and witnessed the shooting.

The restaurant’s manager on duty returned fire at the suspect, but did not hit him, according to Glenn, who wondered "what the world is coming to, especially with our youth."
