This is the shocking moment a Spanish man set a cafe on fire after staff told them they had run out of mayonnaise.
CCTV footage shows the man pouring gasoline over the bar at Las Postas cafe in the Spanish town of Los Palacios y Villafranca, before setting it alight.
Flames are shown quickly erupting as the man walks away from the cafe, as customers and staff can be seen backing away from the explosive inferno.
The unnamed man, 50, had visited the eatery with his son on Wednesday and ordered two sandwiches.
When the waiter served them, the man asked if they had mayonnaise, to which the server replied that they had run out, Spanish news outlet La Sexta reports.
The man then asked a different waiter the same question, who confirmed that they didn’t have any.
The furious customer then got up and left the cafe, but returned moments later with a 1.5 litre bottle of gasoline, which he used to set fire to the vicinity.
Workers immediately used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames and to prevent the fire from spreading through the cafe.

The man was later arrested by Civil Guard near the restaurant after a waiter chased him down.
He was transported to a local health centre where he received treatment for burns on his hands, according to local media.
One waiter reportedly suffered a minor burn as a result of the fire. According to witnesses, several others were injured, including an elderly man and a small child.
The material damages and lost profits of the incident have amounted to around 7,000 euros, or £6,056.
Police are now investigating the incident and the man is facing charges of criminal damage, arson and causing danger.
It comes as Spain has been battling one of its most destructive fire seasons in recent decades.
The country tackled several wildfires this week, with thousands of firefighters aided by soldiers and water-bombing aircraft grappling the flames in northwestern Spain.
The fires in Galicia have ravaged small, sparsely populated towns, forcing locals in many cases to step in before firefighters arrive.

Firefighting units from Germany arrived in northern Spain on Tuesday to help fight the blazes, Spain’s Interior Ministry announced.
More than 20 vehicles were deployed to help fight an ongoing blaze in Jarilla in the Extremadura region that borders Portugal, the ministry said.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the area Tuesday and spoke of the heat that has fueled the fires.
Temperatures across Spain dropped by about 4 degrees Celsius (about 7 degrees Fahrenheit) Tuesday after a 16-day heat wave with several days above 40 C (104 F), Spain’s weather agency reported.
The fires in Spain have killed four people this year and burned more than 382,000 hectares or about 1,475 square miles, according to the European Union’s European Forest Fire Information System.
