Burger King workers busted after spitting on cop's Whopper.
Two Burger King employees have been fired for spitting in an Oregon sheriff deputy's burger.
Clark County Sheriff's Deputy Edward Blysma filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday.
He claims that he found the spit on his Whopper after receiving the sandwich at a Vancouver, Washington Burger King operated by franchisee Kaizen Restaurants.
Blysma tested the sample and found a match in his department's DNA database.
Kaizen investigated the incident after Blysma complained and ultimately fired two employees.
One of them was Gary Herb, the man whose DNA matched the phlegm in Blysma's sandwich.
On Wednesday Burger King and Kaizen issued a statement noting their "zero tolerance" for such actions.
Blysma's suit alleges that the restaurant chain was negligent in its hiring and supervision practices.
Yuck. Of all the people who could prove it though...
Now we know what special sauce is.
“Blysma’s suit alleges that the restaurant chain was negligent in its hiring and supervision practices.”
Yeah, we need a psych eval to flip burgers now. Amazing, don’t sue the guy, sue the restaurant. Just wow.
How much would he get from an out-of-work fast food worker?
LOL!
I have a rather gross story about that. A friend was at a subway in the “ghetto” and the woman ordering through the drive-thru kept having special requests and one worker took her sub the the bathroom, returned a few minutes later saying “I’ve got your special sauce right here.”
I almost never eat out, and do my best to not cause a problem, and watch food being prepped if possible. Just in case.
Sick minds...
None, that’s the point. It’s frivolous to sue the owner based on “hiring practices.”
Came for the ‘Supertroopers’ reference, leaving disappointed.
As an employee in the food service industry, I’ve taken classes and became certified in Sanitation in my State. It is rather scary how much actually goes on in kitchen. I find myself always having to correct people’s mistakes in the back. It’s sad but I always say “why if I made your dinner and did that ?” most people then realize their error.
However, don’t mess with people who handle your food ! LOL !
I was warned by a friend that he knew someone doing something similar too. Nasty.
This reminds me of why I do not like eating at fast food resturants!
His entire stash, dude.
Any relation to the ‘reverend’, Jesse Jackson?

He probably did sue the guy too, and the restaurant. Multiple parties to lawsuits are common.
Whatever brings home the bacon. [double entendre alert]
