ok, ummm, mcdonalds employee jailed for putting too much salt on a policemans burger?

Question

could he not have asked for a replacement burger, book of free coupons and maybe an apology. she accidentally spilled some salt, why not lock up the real criminals out there. its funny that there are people dealing drugs and other crimes practically out in plain sight and gosh, who goes to jail, a mcdonalds employee who spilled some salt.

I think the whole thing was : how dare she oversalt "his" burger.(inflated ego)

the absolute worst that should have happened is that she lose her job, not go to jail.

Answer 1

wtf!! there are murderers out there and here goes the "salt police" coming to save the day! this is bullshit! i can't believe that people run around raping children and get sent to councelling and this lady gets jailed! i'm outraged!

Answer 2

Ridiculous.
In an age where people sue for the tiniest things you would expect an officer of the law show some discretion. I would hope that he could understand that accidents happen and that the final decision to serve the meat was the supervisor's.
It's especially ridiculous to know that he wolfed the whole burger down and then complained. It reminds me of when I used to work at a restaurant and people would wait to complain about their steak after they ate all of it, just to get a free steak. If it was so unpalatable the cop should have stopped stuffing his face immediately.

Answer 3

I don't know why she should lose her job.She reported what she had done but rather than waste meat her supervisor served it.


Saturday, Bull, the mother of a 1-year-old, said she accidentally spilled too much salt on the burger and was unjustly charged.

"I think they went too far with it," said Bull, who has worked at the McDonald's on Jonesboro Road for about five months. "If it was too salty, why did [the officer] not just take one bite and throw it away? Why did he take eight bites and finish it and come back later and say it made him sick?"

She said she told her supervisor and another co-worker she spilled the salt on the burger. "They tried to thump the salt off," she said.

Then she went on break and ate a burger made from the oversalted meat. "It didn't make me sick," she said.

Meanwhile, the restaurant went ahead and served the extra salty Big N' Tasty to the police officer, said Bull. A few minutes later the officer, Wendell Adams returned to the restaurant and told the manager he got sick from eating the burger.

He talked to the restaurant's manager, another employee and Bull, who admitted she spilled the salt on the burger. Bull said the officer asked her to step outside, where he continued to question her. "He told me it made him so sick it had to have something worse than salt on it," said Bull.

"He asked me if I had ever had a bad experience with cops. Did I know it was a police officer that came through the drive-through? A whole lot of nonsense like that."

Bull said she didn't know a police officer had ordered the burger because in the area where she worked, she couldn't see out the drive-through window.

She said she told Adams her supervisor knew there was too much salt on the burger, but the supervisor didn't come to her defense.

"[The supervisor] was just trying to cover herself," said Bull, who said Saturday afternoon she didn't know if she still had a job under the golden arches: "I'm waiting to hear from my supervisor."

I wonder why he took her and only her outside to question? Did he have something else in mind for the 20 year old ? Hmmm ?????

Answer 4

I read this article & if I read it correctly, the manager is the one that decided to serve the burger after trying to shake off the extra salt. In MHO if anyone is charged it should be him not the "little" employee, she just did as she was ordered. As if they never throw away a burger.

Answer 5

As I realize it, the salt grew to become into spilled onto the burger, then wiped off and offered to the cop. it somewhat is inexcusable and unsafe. it could have been no significant deal to make yet another burger and placed that one in the bin. I actual have heard of McDonald's workers determining on up burgers off the floor and serving them. Laziness. it fairly is extra straight forward to try this than to have the tray pass one burger short and get in complication for it. it fairly is approximately time somebody grew to become into held in charge for undesirable foodstuff hygiene. you place your have confidence in a position to coach your foodstuff easily and properly. This place did neither. If the supervisor grew to become into conscious, he might desire to be charged too.

Answer 6

I saw that. I think it's a cop who's feeling a little inadquate in his world so he thought he'd show everyone what a big bad*ss he is by having someone arrested.

Answer 7

That's a pretty stupid reason for putting someone in jail, I mean, it's not like she spilled some rat pellets on his burger or something! SHEESH! Stupid authority figures...hate em all.

Answer 8

What's next - is he gonna jail the Dunkin Donut employee for not putting enough jelly in his donut?????

Answer 9

theres nothing to answer here.. a lick of common sense will tell you this relates to our society as a whole and pretty messed up.. if a cop had the values of jesus hed lose his job

Answer 10

it is pretty weird, but salt can increase your blood pressure if you have too much... but should she have got to jail? these questions will always haunt me...
