UNION CITY, Ga. - A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty, so salty that he says it made him sick.

 

 

 

Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail.

 

 

 

Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off."

 

 

 

On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. "It didn't make me sick," Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

 

 

 

But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick.

 

 

 

Bull admitted spilling salt on the meat, and Adams took her outside and questioned her, she said.

 

 

 

"If it was too salty, why did (Adams) not take one bite and throw it away?" said Bull, who has worked at the restaurant for five months. She said she didn't know a police officer got one of the salty burgers because she couldn't see the drive-through window from her work area.

 

 

 

Police said samples of the burger were sent to the state crime lab for tests.

 

 

 

City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."

 

 

 

 

 

WTF :?:

wait? isnt salt anti bacterial? because if it is then how did he get sick?

WHAT THE F*CK.

 

 

 

She got arrested for spilling salt. What the sh*t is this world comming to??? And doesn't the crime lab have better things to do? Like solving MURDERS MAYBE???

With war, disease, death, and terrorism, the most major news we can think of is a woman putting salt on a burger. OMFG CALL THE PRESIDENT.

:lol:

 

 

 

[We need a laugh emote that cries too.]

Anyone with me when I say we need a "Stupid Arrests" subforum? :lol:

 

 

 

What kind of employee would do that though? Why not just throw it out :-s

This, along with the Tag banning, fining a guy because a police officer ran over his foot, is proof that we all need to go find a rock and hide under it for a good, long while.

Actually, she should have just been fired for it.

 

 

 

Spilling gross amounts of salt, even by accident, and then instead of throwing the oversalted food away, she serves it to customers. Then says "why don't they just throw it away." Because they paid for it, and you willingly gave them bad food.

So she should, she knowingly served tainted food which broke health and safety regulations.

Tag banning was right, in P.E. at my school, 40 kids were in one gym class. The gym teacher says we can play tag. She makes, like, 15 kids it. imagine 40 kids running around a small gym. BAM BAM were the sounds I heard.

wait? isnt salt anti bacterial? because if it is then how did he get sick?

 

 

 

It could have been dehydration.

Haha that's great :lol: / :wall:

 

 

 

She told her supervisor, so her supervisor is technically responsible; it is the responsibility of the supervisor to remove such foods. Plus, its not like she spilled biochemical waste mixed with aids and nuclear residue on the burgers...

Jail and a fine for screwing up a couple burgers? That's just insane. All that really needed to be done was for him to tell the manager of that store and walk away. Proper action would be taken. But jail+fine? We got overcrowding as-is!

Haha that's great :lol: / :wall:

An over-intake of salt can KILL you. It dehydrates the body very rapidly. Whoever was responsible can face several years in prison for breaking the health code.

I don't think you realize were talking about burgers. Chances are, it was enough salt to be noticeable, but not a whole gallon of salt... It takes quite alot of salt to kill you. An extreme excess of salt would be required, and if it was in excess that much, any person would have spit it out after taking one bite... And if someone does have high bp problems, they shouldn't be eating fast food anyway...

Haha that's great :lol: / :wall:

And if was salty, the [wagon] cop shoulda asked for a new one.

This is as silly as it gets to be honest. :-k

SHE'S A TERRORIST! We should give her the chair for that!

 

 

 

[/kidding]

 

 

 

That is ridiculous.

Must have been a slow day at the Police Station.... #-o

shows the idiocy coming to this world....

Move it! Make way for the Fascists! Get the [bleep] off kid! Move it!!!

If you could be arrested for this kind of thing in the UK I think 20% of the nation would be in jail. A chinese down the road from me was recently done for serving dog meat. Did we moan? No, we didn't. Did we sue? No, we didn't. We just didn't eat there again. Because we get on with things rather than whinge about them and get people arrested for serving a salty burger :-k

With the low standards of all fast food places, especially McDonalds, a slight slip up like that is hardly grounds for firing. I am just speculating right now, but probably in the training video that they use at Mcdonalds, they are told to not waste food, for food is their profit. I mean if the burger was that big of a deal, he should have stopped eating it, ask for a new one and NOT press charges. The quality of that food is never high. Why should this one girl be punished for doing what she was told?

So she should, she knowingly served tainted food which broke health and safety regulations.

 

QFT.

 

I bet she was aggressive and rude to boot. She had to be. She works in McDonalds!

I've heard of far worse things being done to food in restaurants and the people responsible didn't get arrested. Plus, many of those things were done on purpose. This was just an accident. She did serve the food knowing it was over salted but the initial action was still just an accident.
