Burger King employees were tricked into breaking all their store's windows. Again.
One prank call went far beyond accusing the refrigerator of running.
Burger King employees in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, received a phone call Friday night instructing them to break all of the windows in the store, according to local news station KSTP.
Somehow, the caller convinced them.

"According to police, employees received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Coon Rapids Fire Department," KSTP reported. "The caller said the restaurant was pressurized and could explode, so the employees needed to break the windows to relieve the pressure."
What's more, an understandably curious person recorded the employees carrying out the "fire department's" wishes.
One employee received a small cut while breaking the windows, but KSTP reports there were no other injuries.
This is not the the first hoax of its kind. In January, someone pulled an extremely similar prank on the employees of a Burger King in Morro Bay, California.
Clearly, someone out there has a very serious problem with Burger King windows.
