A Taco Bell customer in Georgia was so angry about the quality of his purchase that he tossed a fire bomb at the building.

Albany, GA police responded to reports that the outer wall of a Taco Bell was burned just to the side of the drive-thru window.

The manager of the fast-food restaurant told police an angry customer had called earlier that day complaining that his Chalupas did not have enough meat. The man made racial slurs, and threatened to “redecorate” the Taco Bell.

When police arrived after the Molotov cocktail was thrown, they found a melted plastic bottle with what is believe to be gasoline.

Due to the poor quality of the surveillance cameras, police are having trouble identifying the culprit.

ImageOn Friday, a Taco Bell in Virginia was also seeing fire.

A customer said it noticed sparks coming from one of the building’s outdoor signs.

The Farmville restaurant was evacuated and the fire department arrived within minutes.

According to Farmville Fire Chief Ben Sears, the fire began around 10 p.m. the sign burned and melted down the side of the building. The Taco Bell was closed for the rest of the night, but opened the next day. Patrons could still see the melted remnants along the building wall.
