Finger found in Arby's food!

    Okay I know this is gross, I even thought my DH was making some kind of sick joke telling me this...but nope, it's true.  Where I live, someone found a "finger tip" in their food at Arby's!!! Dear God! I don't like Arby's or any of those fast food places, but DH and DS partake in an occasional curly fry or sandwich from there. I think this has officially put THAT to a grinding hault. :-&

    I don't ever inspect my food. Lord only knows how many body parts I've eaten.
    Get me a damn beer.

    I heard once, can't remember where, that a part of something, a rat maybe? was found in a bag of Cheetos. Damn it...I have never looked at Cheetos the same since.  And I'm not a prude when it comes to junk food, but I am a little neurotic. ;))

    I am glad I looked before I bit. The wasp looked like it was cooked in. I got a free meal.

    @CKLW Please tell me when you say Jtown you don't mean Jonesboro. If you do, I'll have to make sure DH checks his food before he inhales it, lol

    Nope she's not @Unique_Momma LOL  But I think I'd still give it a good once over before digesting it. Just to be on the safe side :D

    How the hell does that happen?

    If there were an accident, causing the fingertip to be severed, doesn't that kind of HALT meal production?

    I have no idea...and yes you'd think if you were preparing food and lopped off a finger tip, you'd make someone aware of it, try to find it, and then reattach it. LOL  @Love

    I have always hated Arbys, this doesn't help.
    Once in a blue moon will I ever get anything from there, jamocha shake or a reuben.

    Posts: 227Member
    Ok from what DH said, the girl went to the hospital after the incident/accident occurred. However apparently Arby's didn't find it prudent to toss any of the food she had been handling or clean equipment. Therefore, voila....a customer found a piece of finger in his roast beef sandwich. :-&

    @CoffeeQueen I hear ya. Once a fast food joint messes up its no more for me. Like I once had a fried lizard when getting Taco Bell and haven't been back since. Oh and I ALWAYS inspect my food before eating it!
  • CoffeeQueenCoffeeQueen
    Posts: 227Member
    I haven't done Taco Bell in probably more than a decade. And I also inspect the food! My main reason for not eating all this crap was because 9 times out of 10 it tastes nasty to me (either stale, cold, etc.). Then you hear about what they put in shit and how they process it. Then you hear about fingers and lizards being found in stuff....it just kills it for me. LOL @Koala82

    I read the story on yahoo and then unwisely scrolled down to the comments. If this commenter's account is true, I am so very very ill.

    "More Yahoo B/S news..The actual story goes as follows...A 14-year-old boy who had visited the drive-through window with his mother was eating the sandwich and pulled a pad of a finger out of his mouth, Jackson police Deputy Chief John Holda said. He described it as the fingerprint portion."

    It's gross, no doubt. I'm just too hungry to care right now LOL and like I said, you're probably about a thousand miles from me, so the chances of a finger in my roast beef sammmich tonight is pretty slim.

    And if, by God, there's something nasty in my food tonight, so help me...I'm blaming it on YOU!

    @CoffeeQueen We don't go to Arby's very often because I'm not big on roast beef, so I always end up getting a chicken sandwich. We maybe go twice a year if DH is lucky.
  • CoffeeQueenCoffeeQueen
    Posts: 227Member
    Yah @Unique_Momma ,I'm not big on it either. Last time I ever ate there I think I had a fish (they used to have one I think) or chicken sandwich. It was completely disgusting. Has anyone seen the documentary Super Size me? I watched it the other night....it just validates my thoughts on most fast foods. ick....  but to all my mommies that love it, I am not judging!!   Some of it does taste good if it's actually hot....

    LOL @Mommyliciousx4 ! my DH and DS have sworn off all of our fast food places at the moment. Our local paper posted the DUMBEST question on Facebook (I hate our local paper, it has to be run by morons)...it posed the question "do you think this will affect business?"  um, I'm no rocket scientist, but I'd have to say YES it will! They are saying well it was just an accident...yes it was an accident, that wasn't handled properly and someone almost ate a person's fingertip! YUCK!

  • CoffeeQueenCoffeeQueen
    Posts: 227Member
    @Dreamnofpalmtrees you are in Jackson??? So am I! And yes it's disgusting. A friend of mine and I were talking about this today and she said she used to work there years ago. She said ever since she worked there she refused to eat there. After she SAW certain things that the average customer wouldn't see.

    Hi @CKLW! :-h  Yeah I get so riled up sometimes at their posts, I had to just unlike the page! lol  I only saw it because my son showed it to me, he thought it was moronic as well.  Then a few of the comments were equally as stupid. One said "I would eat there any day of the week!" Um really? Well good luck with that!
