McDonald's Worker Arrested For "Over Salting" Police Officer's Burger

No, "over salting" isn't code for anything nasty. The 20-year-old McDonald's worker literally spilled salt on the hamburger meat that was used to make a "Big 'N Tasty" that was served to a Georgia police officer.

The police officer says the burger made him sick—and Kendra Bull, 20, spent a night in jail because of it. According to Kendra, she accidentally spilled too much salt on the hamburger meat, tried to remove it, notified her coworkers, then took a break. During the break she says she ate a burger made from the salty meat.

bet he wouldn’t have complained if it was Krispy Kreme.

[LukeL]

It made him sick? Did he take one bite, or is one of those jerks who eat the entire meal then complain about how it tasted.

[cripplecreek]

Charge him with assalt.

[autumnraine]

Didn’t this happen a year ago or something?

And people wonder why I don't eat fast food...

[mrmeyer]

Did the cop also order a liter of cola?

[yarddog]

I can be pretty tough on cops but this time I am on his side. The proper thing would simply have been to use another burger and throw that one in the trash.

I simply don’t believe her or probably her co-workers.

[jimfree]

I remember adding salt to the Big and Tasty a time or two.

[earlJam]

I’m with you.

This story must be a year or two old.

[BigBlueJon]

Did the cop also order a liter of cola?

[into mic] Litrecola? Do we sell litrecola?

They’ll be asking Obama for his opinion on this case,(like the case in Cambridge),at his next press conference.

[socialismisinsidious]

No Kidding. And how lazy is this worker?! She makes a mistake and rather than take responsibility and fix HER mistake she dumps it on someone else. Got to love the entitlement mentality. not.

[Clock King]

Arrest is over the top. The cop should have just sued.

[bareford101]

why didn’t she destroy the salted meat? I still dont’ trust McDonald after their embrace of the homosexual community, and I don’t spend any money there.

(from the article)
Bull said Adams insisted the burger must have had something worse than salt on it.

Adams actually did NOT eat the entire burger, and samples were sent to the state crime lab to find out what was in or on the burger that made Adams sick.

Why didn’t 0bama have anything to say about this poor, near homeless, almost on deaths door, policeman who required health care during the Wednesday infomercial?

[Domandred]

Salt on a Krispy Kreme? Now that’s disgusting

[Pravious]

I remember this story, too.

Are we going back in time? Does that mean Obama isn’t President anymore?

[Vendome]

these jack booted thugs are getting a little to full of themselves and their anger is now codified into law or imprimature.

If it was so salty all he had to do was return the burger for another.

What? Everything that happens this guys life is a conspiracy to get him.

[the invisib1e hand]

not salt fuhgawdsakes. let’s say she put too much kreme in the krisp or something.

[the invisib1e hand]

Charge him with assalt.

Bang!

***

Perhaps it wasn't the salt that made him sick. In NYC, it's routinely used as ground beef "life extender."

Why are you posting an almost 2 year old story with inaccurate dates in the post?

When I see the words “Kendra Bull, 20” I assume she’s hot. But she’s not.

[Arguendo]

LOL.

[Houghton M.]

The date on the article is Sept. 10, 2007.

As a volunteer police officer, I would NEVER eat at a fast food restaurant while wearing my uniform. You're just asking for boogers and spit. It's a fact of life... losers hate cops, and they subscribe to the loser's philosophy of life. Aristotle wrote about it 2400 years ago when he said... "Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy."

[buccaneer81]

Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger...

[rawhide]

I also remember something happening like this awhile back?

[BfloGuy]

Some things are too good to be true; some are too bad to be true. This sounds like the latter.

[rawhide]

uggghhh! Do people eat those things?

[buccaneer81]

A minor league baseball team in the St.Louis area introduced them.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Does that look like spit to you?

[loreldan]

Hmmm maybe it IS a good idea to call 911 if McDonald’s is out of french fries. Get those workers thrown in jail! How dare they serve food that doesn’t taste good. Yep they should serve time.

[Interesting Times]

At least she didn’t spit into his food like Jesse Jackson.

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL....good one!

[Free Vulcan]

Emphasis on ASS?

[gunnut]

Couldn’t just serving a McDonald’s burger be considered reckless endangerment with or without additional salt? And yes, I do eat there sometime, why I don’t know.

[Shadowstrike]

Now that’s just yuck.

[yarddog]

When I was a kid I loved McDonalds burgers. I probably haven’t eaten at one in over ten years until about a month ago. I was in the process of moving and didn’t have anything ready to eat so just stopped at McD’s and ordered a double cheeseburger.

It was one of the worst things I have ever eaten. My taste can’t have changed that much. They simply have gone down in quality.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[a fool in paradise]

Make that a diet liter of soda.

[Tamar1973]

It made him sick? Did he take one bite, or is one of those jerks who eat the entire meal then complain about how it tasted.

And then the big jerk went off on a powertrip and got the kid thrown in jail!

[Tamar1973]

Adams actually did NOT eat the entire burger, and samples were sent to the state crime lab to find out what was in or on the burger that made Adams sick.

If the burger had enough salt on it to make him feel sick, he would have KNOWN that it was salty because the saltiness would have been overwhelming. I think they're just trying to pin something on someone.

[Tamar1973]

Salt on a Krispy Kreme? Now that’s disgusting

I put salt on watermelon and cottage cheese! LOL!

[LukeL]

Ever try salt on granny smith apples?

[Tamar1973]

Ever try salt on granny smith apples?

I'm not a big fan of Granny smiths. Does salt help the taste?

[LukeL]

It helps cut the tartness. Salt on any apple is good, just don’t get red delicious those are horrible.

[Tamar1973]

Don’t tell my hubby that. He loves fruit and watching me sprinkle salt on watermelon grosses him out!
