Restaurant worker shoots customer for invalid credit card

Don't mess with "X-Rated"

Decatur, GA -- There's a restaurant in Georgia where you want to make sure your credit card isn't maxed out and you have no plans of skipping out on paying your bill. One customer found this out the hard way.

An employee in a Georgia restaurant shot a customer who tried to skip out on paying the bill when his credit card was denied.

The employee was arrested.

The customer reportedly tried to pay for his meal at China Cafeteria with an invalid credit card on Wednesday night, WSB-TV reported.

When the employee, Xin Xing Chen, [aka: "X-Rated"] realized what had happened, he and his co-worker went outside to confront the customer.

A fight broke out between the three people and at one point "X-Rated" went back inside the restaurant, grabbed a gun and shot the customer. His co-worker was also shot in the kerfuffle because Chen is obviously no Annie Oakley.

The restaurant is known for its cheap, MSG-loaded food. The menu board outside the restaurant advertises a $4.99 house special and $3.50 lunch special.

One customer uninvolved in the incident told media he was surprised something like this happened over such a cheap meal.

“I can’t see somebody getting shot over a $5 meal. I just can’t see it,” Jecory Jackson said, evidently not understanding that it's the principal of the thing and you don't mess with a lunatic.

Chen has been charged with aggravated assault. The customer he shot is in critical condition and the injured employee is in stable condition.

The restaurant was closed Thursday in the hopes that people will forget this ever happened.
