A STEAK ‘n Shake customer has taken sweet revenge on the rude customer behind him in the drive-thru line, but not everyone is convinced it stung.
The aggrieved fan bought the rude customer’s meal and took it home to make them wait longer – people say he gave the restaurant more money unnecessarily.

A TikToker named Nicole Christine posted the fast food saga which has racked up more than 7 million views.
The mail opens with a man driving to the Steak ‘n Shake drive-thru and explaining the plan to the passenger.
“These people behind me are assholes,” said the driver.
“I’m going to buy their meal and take it with me.”
“Don’t,” the woman in the passenger seat replied.
He then tried to share his schedule with the cashier.
“What do you mean buy and take? No, you are not,” said the woman as he tried to sort things out.
The cashier sounded like she was referring to someone “honking a horn” behind them and the vengeful fellow said “yes ma’am. I want to buy it and I want to take it.”
“So they can go back,” I clarified.
The cashier yelled, “OH!” and went to get the manager before going through with it.
The manager humorously replied that he didn’t mind the plan by saying, “I’ll kick them out of line.”
But the driver confirmed that he just wanted to buy their order and move on.
While many people cheered him on for being a “Petty Betty”, others thought he just gave the restaurant more business for no reason.
“Oh, I love a good Petty Betty moment,” someone said.
Another said “well played sir.”
“I wouldn’t like this, but I do,” commented another user.
Other people criticized his decision, saying, “Of course they prepared his meal quickly again. The manager recognized more $$$.”
“All the manager did was let him buy it and take it, then remake it and sell more,” said another.
Another person said, “You have to tell the worker that the car behind you is with you. Have them pull to the window with shocked workers.”
The original poster clarified in a follow-up video that the car behind them honked aggressively as the “patient” waited by the window for their milkshakes.
“He did what any logical man would do. Bravo sir,” said one commenter.
