Burger King Franchise: Drag Queen Robs The King (Video)

by sean on May 22nd, 2008

(FranchisePick.Com) What a drag it is getting videotaped… You can’t make this stuff up: An armed drag queen climbed through the drive-thru window of a New Orleans Burger King, robbed it, then escaped through the same window. While they didn’t catch her (him?), they did capture the whole thing on videotape.

According to a report on NBCAugusta.com:

New Orleans police are on the lookout for a cross-dressing bandit.
Security cameras showed the man, wearing a dress with a revealing bust line and hair barrettes, as he climbed through the takeout window at a Burger King on May 11.
He held the employees at gunpoint, demanded money, then exited through the same drive-through window and drove away.

The expert on the video surmises that the robber is an actual drag queen, and one with a refined fashion sense at that:

Robertson said the thief is probably a genuine cross-dresser because his necklace matched the dress, his nails appeared to be painted and the wig was well made.
“Most of the time when somebody puts on a wig they’re just trying to hide their identity by putting on something like a Halloween mask, but he’s pretty,” Robertson said….
“There’s a strong possibility that this person is a cross-dresser and someone in that community will know this guy, especially if they see him on the TV, someone will know him,” Robertson said.

Hopefully, the robber won’t turn out to be the Burger King VP who was just fired for dressing up in his young daughter’s persona to slander farm workers online:
