Paris waiter 'shot dead over slow service'

A waiter in Paris has been shot dead by a customer who was reportedly angry because his sandwich wasn't prepared quickly enough.

Police say a murder investigation has been launched after the incident on Friday evening in the eastern Noisy-le-Grand suburb.Ambulance crews tried to save the 28-year-old waiter, who had been shot in the shoulder, but he died at the scene. His colleagues told police that the customer had lost his temper at the pizza and sandwich shop because of the length of time it had taken to prepare his meal."It is sad," one 29-year-old woman told French media."It's a quiet restaurant, without any problems. It just opened a few months ago."

Some residents, however, said there had been an upsurge of crime in the area with an increase of drug-dealing and drunkenness on the streets.

Twitter at its worst.

Mmmm wonder what Paris and London have in common...

Unbelievable just unbelievable.

this is a shocking story, hopefully the killer will be jailed for life.

What a sad enditement on the direction of travel for society. However I thought that bbc had a black-out on news from France Paris never a mention of the GiletJaunes protests. Just wall to wall HongKongProtests . Why?

Anyone joking about this is disgusting, you wouldn’t make a joke if it was your relative🙁

whole new meaning to dead waiter-this person wants catching and fast-very dangerous.

Why not report on the 40 weeks of anti EU yellow vest protests! Help the public find the perp... Discrimination please... A large upsurge in crime and drugs Is diversity still our strength?

The worst city in Europe.

This much more important than 40 weeks of yellow vest protests bbc credibility ? Is there any?

French waiters do have the reputation of being generally obnoxious, but shooting one is perhaps rather extreme.

Fast food means fast food

Fucking hell. If he’d been in Bavaria, he’d be shooting people left, right and centre!

Bit harsh

Do you want a bullet with that to go?

AMERICA y'all...oh wait.

Gotta love that strict gun control. Really works well.

Blame Brexit for this

Brexit no more sandwiches! Oh the horror

Any news about the other deaths in France or the hundreds injured , blinded by EU enforcement officers ?

Slow sandwiches don't pull triggers 'Waiter killed by angry customer.' a more fitting headline. The BBC reach for whimsy I wonder how seriously they would have taken it if he had been one of their relatives, or if it had happened in Britain?

A bit harsh !!

Slow service is the essence of the French restaurant experience. It’s like becoming angry at hearing prayers in a church, or racist chanting at a Trump rally - you should know what to expect in advance.

Far west reminisce... it is very concerning

Wait I though you can own a gun in France

Next thing you know the mayor will be banning sandwiches. They've already banned guns. Obviously that didn't work out too well for this particular waiter.

'Some residents, however, said there had been an upsurge of crime in the area with an increase of drug-dealing and drunkenness on the streets.' Paris and London seem to be encountering the same issues.

That's a bit of an overreaction.

Wasn’t Paris gunfree?

This is horrible and I find the flippant comments on here really disgusting. A young man, just doing his low paid job, has lost his life over a bloody sandwich. That's horrific.

The BBC have become experts at not reporting the news.

'A Crocodile sandwich please and make it snappy'

What the hell...

in a modern world sandwich service should take no less than 2 minutes - i bring the ar-15 with me to speed things along

It's a murder, certainly committed by a blond Catholic Gaul,with blue eyes,that is going to buy a sandwich with a gun like every citizen of that country do it every day.

Maybe he had THC in his system?

Could the customer just not have left a tip instead? 😂

It looks like a lovely area.

ncacheri Still nothing on the _Gilets_Jaunes_

Once, a woman killed sb. because there wasn’t enough mayo on her burger.

Waiter must be fast.

Croque of shit ShitSandwich

Angry people everywhere.... gun control worldwide

stay safe

I blame social justice warriors. Since they became a think this plant had gone to shit

French waiters are real arrogant pigs but this is extreme

WAs it Boris?

HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANT

Is this a new Monty Python script 😊

Never heard of TripAdvisor?

He refuse to speak English?

Anyone in Paris blaming Brexit ?

Damn Americans and their guns...

Did he get his sandwich?

I just leave a note in the suggestion box. Or a passive agressive remark on trip advisor if im really disappointed.

Those EU police, have no self control
