A McDonald’s in Amsterdam turned into a chaotic scene on January 20 after a dispute over an incorrect order escalated into an all-out food fight involving both customers and staff.

The incident was captured on video and shared widely on Instagram, where it garnered over 81,000 likes and sparked thousands of comments.

The video begins with a woman angrily confronting staff at the counter, throwing her drink at employees in frustration.

The situation quickly escalates as McDonald’s employees retaliate, hurling drinks, fries, burgers, and even ice cream in her direction.

A bystander attempted to intervene, trying to hold the woman back, but the situation spiraled further.

The woman lunged at the counter again, prompting one employee to throw a milkshake down the side of her coat. Other patrons can be seen in the background, some laughing and chatting as the chaos unfolded.

As the altercation continued, more people got involved. One staff member picked up a trash can and threw it over a man, while another individual was drenched in liters of Coca-Cola.

The fight only came to an end after a straw holder was tipped over, sending straws flying across the floor and counter.
