Burger King has distanced itself from Major’s behavior, saying it is committed to “quality food and service.” The fast food giant added that the Union branch is cooperating with police.
The branch manager, Major’s superior, called 911 to report customers “arguing with staff on site,” according to the police report seen by DailyMail.com.
