Mc Donald's employee arrested for over-salting burger

[Stoner]

What in the fuck has happened to our country? This is why I despise cops. They're a bunch of child rejects. Cops are always those under-achieving losers that no one played with as a kid and was bullied every day of their lives. Now that they have authority they're going to take it out on everyone.

Pigs.

Oversalted Burger Leads to Charges

Police: McDonald's Employee Who Over Salted Burger Jailed Because Cop Became Sick in Georgia


UNION CITY, Ga. (AP) -- 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 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."

I heard this on the radio. That cop is definately abusing his power. What a joke of an arrest. I hope she can sue him for false arrest or something. I hope a good judge gets this case and tells that cop off.

:lmao: OMG! How dumb do you have to be to keep eating something over salted. duh.. ever heard of taking it back and being given another one? wow

Charged with reckless conduct? Man.. I should get a cop to charge Subway for putting too many jalapenos on my sandwich or that pound of mayonaisse McDonalds smears on its fish sandwiches. :rolleyes: As if we're all helpless and can't remove the peppers or mayo... oh no, we need to charge them all with reckless conduct.

Chefs across America be very afraid!

What happened to the days when people received a meal that wasn't satisfactory and sent it back to the cook?

[mammalicious]

Okay...I like the fillet-o-fish mayo..it's the CHEESE that's questionable!

How is it reckless if the employee also ate one with no ill effects? And like everyone else here noted...WHO KEEPS EATING SOMETHING THEY THINK IS RANK? As far as people being helpless...ever see those infomercials where folks can't crack an egg competently or put a nail in the wall without creating a grapefruit-sized hole? They are out there...be very afraid!

Just an aside..McDonalds' MAKES their burgers??? I thought they were shipped frozen. Hmmm....

I wonder on what grounds the cop arrested this worker?

Edit: To arrest someone for something SO minor is just plain IDIOTIC, even if there were valid grounds for arrest.

[micfranklin]

Is it that hard to ask for a new burger if the one you have is too salty? Seriously, this cop here needs to spend a night in jail for being an asshole.

[Stoner]

From the article it sounds like the pig thought the employee purposely did that to the burger just because it was for a cop, even though the employee said they couldn't see the drive-thru from where they were. Who knows.

[Truth_and_Power]

This cop should try jail food if he thinks a salty McBurger is bad. In jail everyone's farts smell like the food.. GIGO

[bobbylien]

We need those "pigs" to deal with people like you Stoner. Stop driving drunk and we will need less of them.
Honestly though, was he not expecting to get sick after eating McDonalds?

[rscheuer]

It is both rediculous and funny at the same time that something like this could even be allowed in this country. Why does a police officer have the right to arrest an employee for ruining his meal then getting sick, accidentally? I am pretty sure the officer would have been able to tell if the burger was over-salted when he was eating it. Why didn't he just stop and ask for a new one? Instead, he leaves and comes back later to question the employee. If the employee had nothing to do with handing out which burger goes to which person, then the employee should not be held responsible. Sure, she spilled the salt, but she did not intentially mean to get a police officer sick. Once police officers are given the power, some use it unfairly. How can this possibly be fair?

That's what I was thinking. That jerk apparently hasn't heard of the concept of "sending it back." IMO he abused his police powers.

There are a few bad apples in the police force, and IMO this dude is one of them.

Look... if she knew it was a cop, oversalting it to get at him was a bit obvious. She could have done something more... disgusting, like spit in it. eew He's stupid for arresting her though. Now someone will really do him dirt. He better be careful where he orders from even more now.

Anyone who eats at McDonalds deserves to get sick.

Sure, she spilled the salt, but she did not intentially mean to get a police officer sick. Once police officers are given the power, some use it unfairly. How can this possibly be fair? Even if she did intentionally mean to get the officer sick, it does not have to be a criminal matter. It should be taken up as a civil dispute. Resources devoted to the criminal justice system were misused.


He's stupid for arresting her though. Now someone will really do him dirt. He better be careful where he orders from even more now.That is the bitter truth. Vigilanteism is a form of "justice" that is hard to escape. I do not advocate it but nobody can control the entire public. That cop has publicly marked himself and will have a hard time eating in public again. He did that to himself.

I completely agree.

Seriously, if she really wanted to hurt him se would have done something better than uping his sodium levels. But now I would be afraid. If I was a fast food worker, I would refuse to serve him.

That town needs some serious crime to keep their bored cops busy...
