Seems like the dude was simply 1)immature, 2) lacking in impulse control, and 3) an idiot.
He found out the price had gone up on his burritos, happened to have an air(soft?) gun handy, and decided to try for a little juvenile satisfaction by shooting a fake gun at the employee.
Why he stopped in the parking lot and put the other air guns on his car, I can't really guess. Maybe he had an idea of waiting for the police, then cooperating and showing them that they were air rifles. When the people in the store freaked out at the sight of the things, and then the cops showed up (presumably with lights and sirens going) he might have just panicked and tried to run.
On some level, I'm kind of relieved that they're getting him off the streets like this, instead of for something much worse.
Whatever you think of the cops, I seriously doubt the burrito prices were their fault. And I don't think 51 cents are worth shooting someone for, not even with a BB gun.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.$3.50 technically, he ordered 7 burritos.
I wonder what it's like to be one of the people who do weird shit like this.
Doesn't Michael Douglas do something similar in a fast food restaurant in Falling Down? Not the film character I'd most want to be compared with...
"Well, it's a lifestyle."This kinda reminds me of that cupcake lady. For shame.

We must survive, all of us. The blood of a human for me, a cooked bird for you. Where is the difference?Well, they didn't put the price on the burritos. If the burritos were the issue, he shot the wrong guys.

Only in Texas, eh?
