Local authorities are now on the lookout for an unidentified Tennessee woman after she opened fire inside a Burger King drive-thru window Tuesday because she was allegedly dissatisfied with the establishment's long wait time.

A customer angry about how long her order was taking at the fast-food joint was caught on camera arguing with employees before revealing her weapon and discharging it into the drive-thru window, Memphis Police Department said in a statement.

"The female got out of the front passenger seat of a mid-sized, four-door, gray sedan and approached the drive-thru window," police stated.

"A verbal altercation ensued between the female patron and the workers. Video surveillance shows the suspect retrieve a black handgun from the vehicle, extend her upper body through the drive-thru window, and fire several shots at the Burger King workers," police continued.

The employees took cover from the hail of bullets by exiting through the back door of the restaurant. Authorities said none of them were harmed in the incident.

According to police, the woman was also accompanied by an unidentified male who was the driver of the gray sedan.
