## Resource

A wild In-N-Out Burger showdown turned viral when a customer stormed back with a stick, threatening staff—until 20-year-old Luca Opperman crawled through the drive-thru, grabbed a spatula, and used a rugby shoulder drop to safely subdue her. His heroic, chaotic intervention racked up 2M+ Instagram views and earned praise from In-N-Out itself, proving that even a kitchen tool can make all the difference.
