CHARLES CITY (AP) --- A policeman who claims two teenagers slimed his chicken sandwich at a McDonald's restaurant is suing the fast food company.
Officer Josh Douglas was working nights two years ago when he says he went through a drive-thru in Charles City. He ordered the sandwich, which came with lettuce and tomato.
Not liking vegetables, Douglas said he removed the toppings and discovered what he described as a mucous-like substance holding the items together.
"Fortunately, I don't like lettuce. Because if I did I would have at least taken one bite before I realized what was the matter," he said.
Douglas and another officer went inside the restaurant, where they found two teenagers working. The employees said they were imitating a prank in a movie in which a state trooper orders a burger and the cook spits phlegm on it.
Both boys were fired and one later apologized to Douglas, according to court records.
Douglas and his attorney, Joel Yunek of Mason City, say they have negotiated with McDonald's for more than a year but have not been able to reach a settlement. They filed a lawsuit May 8 in Floyd County District Court.
Yunek said they aren't looking "for the world."
"But certainly ... he is deserving of an apology. Certainly, he is deserving of some kind of compensation," Yunek said.
Douglas said it's not about money but about accountability. He says he also wants to make sure the restaurant takes measures to guarantee employees handle food properly.
Sam Soifer, owner of the Charles City franchise, said in a written statement to KIMT-TV in Mason City that the restaurant took immediate action. Soifer said the employees were fired and that McDonald's takes food safety seriously.
The last statement....:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Give me the puns. I'm lovin' spit! :tup:
