Oversalted burger leads to charges

Sun Sep 9, 2:02 PM ET

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."

Obviously the employee wasn't aware of the fact that even if you shake the salt off the meat, it's already penetrated. This is going too far, I'll say.

I have heard worse than this one. Couple BK employees caught piss on burger, and used cleaning agent on it. Two cops sent to hospital and eventually arrested these two employees, one is 17 and other was 19 yrs old. It happened not far from our home. To make this even worse, this restaurant happen to be in service plaza for toll highway.

Oh, gee now I am startin' to get paranoid about goin' out to restaurant. Employees like this can't be trusted nowdays.

Yeah, just think this way... those employees at restaurant tend to get paid by minimum wage or barely above minimum wage. How could they care?

You get what you pay for - it's simple.

One of the most frightening places to go to is Wal-Mart in/near major cities. Those places are zoos with undisciplined children and impolite adults. McDonald's (or, especially fried chicken places) are worse. If you have a complaint, you have to wait in long lines and deal with minimum wage workers (who work part-time and, perhaps, work that one shift to continue qualifying for welfare).

Going to KMart, Sears, or other more "pricey" places provides friendlier service, comfortable atmosphere, and the quality is always corrected/assured.

The police officers who had shown up at the girl's hearing were visibly overweight. Perhaps he'll stop eating at McDonald's and start eating his wife's cooking. Maybe then he'll save money, lose weight, and not make a big stink over a -$5 sandwich.

Just the same: you get what you pay for.
