You going to check for fingers in Chile at Wendy's, razor blades in tacos, etc. too?

Somewhat old wintery layout!

Yep.

And this is why I rarely eat fast food anymore.

It makes me wonder why BK would even think the man would come back after that

I never ordered Chile at Wendy's. Which is good, because I wouldn't want to be at risk at finding a finger in it, like that poor guy a year ago.

It was a woman, and it was a scam. She did it to try to sue for money.

Oh. My bad.
I guess some people will do anything to get some money these days, even if it means planting a finger in chile. Disgusting.

Now, I don't doubt that it was in there, but... why the hell was the person that made the sandwich carrying a used condom to begin with?

About as bad as the time my father went to the McDonald's on Toronto Road in Springfield, IL and got a Big Mac in the drive-thru...went to get back on the road and noticed something wrong with the burger.

It had a bite out of it.

So he proceeds to walk right back in, chuck the burger across the counter at the guys there and wants the manager (so he could kick his ass I'm sure).

They're bottom-of-the-line, lowest-paid individuals in this country and a LOT of people rely on them 100% of the time. You think they give two shits with what they get for moolah and benefits? Not a lot of them have respects and most of them are under the 21 or 18 line for age. No offense to those under said lines, but a lot of people in that age group have no respect for the concept of working and think that everything's going to be given to them and they can screw off like this.

I had to play babysitter in a gas station a lot like this making about 6.35 an hour (which was a raise up from 6). There was a reason I got the hell out of there but there was also a reason I stayed for a year and a half because it was good 'I was through shit and more and survived that long' material on my resume.

This has urban legend written all over it. People are supposedly finding weird things in their food all the time.

After seeing my fair share of idiocy in the work place, I'd almost believe every one of them.

This story is making me scared of my second favourite food (the first favourite being pizza). That's just disgusting and now I'm going to be afraid to eat out at burger restaurants

	As disgusting as this is, I wouldn't be too afraid of fast-food restaurants until I know how many proven claims have been made. But really, laughing off the matter? It's not exactly a normal thing for a customer to complain about a condom in a burger. It just seems to give even more reason to believe that a condom was in the burger. Originally posted by Ω Hiryuu Not a lot of them have respects and most of them are under the 21 or 18 line for age. No offense to those under said lines, but a lot of people in that age group have no respect for the concept of working and think that everything's going to be given to them and they can screw off like this. Don't forget the "I tried my best" or "I'm angry give me a break my life sucks" attitude that ruins the experience for everyone. With the way teenagers act, I wouldn't be surprised if the condom was planted by a teenage employee... ____________________

Probably as a joke, because some teenagers have a screwed up sense of humor.

I usually take a good look at whatever I am eating. That said, I would be suing them just like this guy, for their stupid joke. ____________________

Don't be. Out of the millions (billions?) of orders that have been made at fast food restaurants, so few of these have involved finding a strange object in the food, I can count all the real cases on my fingers.

Ya I guess it was quite a bit of an over reaction because when I first read the story I was disgusted

Even so, I'm going to cut down on my fast-food intake. Something I should probably do anyway.

Disgusting if it's true: yes.

Do I really care? no.

I barely eat any fast food as it is (thinking it back, last time was a month ago or something)
