Ok... so I had an apple for work today and some other stuff. And since we have mice in our store I don't like to leave my left overs in the garbage. So I flushed it down the toilet forgettting my apple was part of it. So when I flushed it away, I was amazed that it went down and didn't clog.
It was only until my boss used it (only me and her were working today) that she came out and said the whole floor flooded with the toilet overflowing. She called clean up and they couldnt do anything. She called our DISTRICT MANAGER and they are sending some one in the morning. I am freaking out they would pull it out and find the apple! WHAT CAN I DO!?!?!? I don't know what to do, and I plan on going to work early so I can try to fix it... what if they find the apple? What if I get charged with the bill? What do they usually do when something is clogging and won't go away with the plunger?

Well, you know it wasn't such a great idea to flush trash down the toilet, but you really don't know if possibly a customer, another employee or even your boss may have put something in it that caused it to clog.
Most likely the plumber will use a toilet auger (check it out at http://homerepair.about.com/od/plumbingrepair/ss/sbs_toilet_clog_6.htm) to either break up the clog, in which case it will go on down into the drain pipes, or will catch on something and pull it out.
I'm not sure how they would know it was your apple and trash or someone else's trash, but if they pull it out and it's definitely your trash then the honest thing to do would be to admit you made a mistake, apologize and ask for forgiveness and hopefully they would let it go.
If they are tightwads and make you pay for the plumber then it might cost $150 or more. If the toilet gets damaged during the cleanout then that could be another $300 or more to replace it.
Frankly, I think the company should write it off as a routine maintenance expense. Toilets get clogged all the time in businesses. If it's not apparent that your trash caused the problem then I wouldn't worry about it, but wouldn't do it again.

He's going to run an auger down the toilet, the mess, after sitting all this time, will be unrecognizable and, in fact, it might have gone down and he'll just flush it and it's gone.
Otherwise, you wouldn't know what it is, I'm sure he's not going to go through it, I never did. Don't worry, unless I was looking for a cell phone, a certain toy, something on that order.

By the time they pull out what was flushed it will probably be so saturated with water it will be unrecognizable.
However, you might want to think about letting your boss know you dropped your lunch bag in the toilet, while flushing the toilet and it had an apple in the bag.
A good idea might to bring a plastic grocery bag from home to put your lunch left overs in it and then take it home and throw out the bag.

You got away with saying it so I'm gonna say it too.......You're not ******. You could always say....."but the guy does it on the Kohler commercial?!?!?!?"......In case you don't know....it's a Kohler toilet commercial where this guy is walking out of his apartment when a really hot plumber chic is walking into the next door neighbor's apartment. They give each other the look of lust and he goes back in and puts everything from makeup to laundry into the toilet and it flushes everytime. The climax is when his wife walks in as he's pouring a 50 lb bag of Purina dog food into his toilet and she asks...."
What are you doing????" It's hilarious!?!?!?!?!?!? LMAO....good luck tomorrow
