I heard a news story that a customer at an Arby’s in Michigan bit into their
sandwich and got more than roast beef in their bite. In fact, they were gnawing on a pretty goodly
sized chunk of a human finger.
An employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and
left her station without immediately telling anyone and her co-workers
continued filling orders until they found out what had happened. Her injury was so severe that she had to be
treated at a local hospital.
As gross and disgusting as it is, it’s reasonable to expect
that these kinds of accidents will happen.
And, of course they do. However,
it also realistic to assume that when accidents like this occur that management
will be notified so that customers don’t end up eating pieces of the employees.
Apparently, these accidental dismemberments escape notice .
. . a few years ago, a TGI Friday's customer in Indiana found part of a kitchen worker's
finger on his hamburger. And the year before that a man enjoying a TCBY yogurt
in North Carolina bit into what he thought was candy in his frozen yogurt only
to discover the chewy bit was a piece of finger and not a gummy bear.
What’s scary is that of the pieces that are actually found
how many slip by and into the digestive tracts of unsuspecting consumers.
Just sayin’.
