On May 21, 2025, a tragic shooting occurred at a Checkers restaurant in Kissimmee, Florida. The incident began as a dispute over a missing mayonnaise packet between customer Wesley Robertson, 40, and a female employee. After requesting to speak to a manager, Robertson was confronted outside by 23-year-old employee Elijah Mackey, who exited the building through the drive-thru window.

During the argument, Robertson reportedly made a derogatory remark, prompting Mackey to pull a gun and shoot him in the chest. Robertson later died at the hospital. Mackey fled but was found hiding nearby and arrested. He now faces a first-degree murder charge.
The community and Checkers have expressed shock and sorrow, highlighting the need for better conflict resolution and workplace safety.
