The OMG PD twist: The only thing the empoyee did wrong was ask passengers in a car to repeat their order. Police gave this account of what happened next: The driver became angry, told the employee he needed to do his job better, and asked when he got off from work. Then a passenger got out of the car and began banging on the drive-up window. The window opened enough that the passenger was able to punch the employee in the shoulder. The car then drove off.
