A distraught fast food customer is suing a popular burger franchise claiming he was treated unfairly for not getting his fair share of food.

A man is suing Hardee’s, claiming the fast-food chain’s manager did not treat him fairly by giving him too few Hash Rounds on his breakfast plate.

Tommy Martin, 58 of North Carolina, is claiming his rights were violated when a manager, whose name was not shared, refused to give him the correct amount of Hash Rounds.

According to Hardee’s website, a breakfast platter appears to come with about a dozen of the deep fried potatoes.

Martin, who is black, is alleging the incident was racially motivated, noting the manager and other customers at the restaurants were white, the Charlotte Observer reported.

It’s not a money issue,” Martin told the outlet. “I just want to be treated fairly.”

Martin alleged the manager gave him his money back after he complained, but would not give him more of the Hash Rounds.

“The manager came back and said that what you get. Got home with tear in mine eye. I have got to do something.” Martin said in the handwritten damages claim he filed in the US District Court in Charlotte on Monday, the Observer reported.

Fox News has contacted Hardee’s for a statement concerning the pending litigation

If he wins, I’m suing Raising Cane’s for their ever decreasing size of chicken fingers.

I, 100%, can feel this mans pain.

Nothing worse than some half arse order of tots or fries.

It does not say how many hash tots Tommy received. Can't they just make the food look like the picture?

In retrospect, maybe he is a fatty and they were doing him a favor by only giving him a partial order.

The skruggle is real.

Likely the reason he was distraught over the hash brown shortage.

I guess it never occurred to the guy that maybe the manager did him a favor by not giving him as much shitty food.

I don’t see where it says he filed pro se. The claimant still files it so that’s proper verbiage, just through counsel
