#DontSpoilTheEndGame
Really! DON’T SPOIL ENDGAME.
A Friendswood, Texas, Domino’s employee learned this lesson the hard way. He was cited by police after he assaulted a co-worker for revealing an Avengers: Endgame spoiler.
According to ABC13, no one at Domino’s wanted to talk about the incident, and the employee did not respond to inquiries.
