Carl's Jr. Tried To Poison My BabyI couldn't frickin' believe this. Friday, in a spur of the moment decision, we realized we had no food in the house, so we got some Carl's Jr. through the drive-up window on our way home from errands (we don't get the kids fast food that often, so no lectures about feeding them fatty food, OK?). Typically, before leaving the drive-up window of any fast food place, we always make sure all of our stuff is in our bag. Glancing in, it appeared that everything was accounted for, so we drove home and sat down to eat our food. Typically, our routine when we get home is to tear apart the baby's hamburger into pieces so that she can eat it easily. We started tearing it apart, and realized there was something terribly wrong with her cheeseburger: It had Jalapeños. Carl's Jr. managed to put a Jalapeño Cheeseburger -- full of onions, a pile of Jalapeños, and a spicy sauce -- into a kids meal for a one year old. Needless to say, I was a bit pissed. We managed to scrap up some grub for the kid instead, but she really wanted that cheeseburger, and she would've been crying for the rest of the night had she taken a bite of it. I didn't have time to go down back down to the place and yell at them (do plan on, however) and I do plan on writing a letter to their corporate offices. Needless to say, I guess I'll be dismantling all of our food before we bring it home next time. Posted by Jake on 01/23/05 @ 11:45 AM

But ... yeah, I'd read them the riot act. Wyrd said on 01/23/05 @ 01:50 PM: Good thing McDonald's doesn't have anything that lethal. I finally quit going because they got my order wrong (usually leaving a few things out) EVERY TIME. Anon said on 02/28/05 @ 09:12 PM: I work for the company, and not as a burger flipper. Mistakes happen. GET OVER IT. Do you really think it's the civil thing to do, after the fact no less, to yell at employees that might not have even helped you that day? (who probably earn minimum wage) You need to chill out. bigs said on 03/03/05 @ 08:37 PM: you are a frickin idiot, i'm sure the employees didn't intentionally mix up the sandwich. but knowing how you are, maybe the employees should have poisoned your food. Manche said on 03/09/05 @ 06:51 AM: Carl's Jr. was founded by a Catholic. I'm just sayin' ya know? Jalapeno peppers are from Mexico which is mostly Catholic too. It wouldn't surprise me. That they would try to murder your baby with jalapenos and spicy sauce I mean. Nameless One said on 03/12/05 @ 06:03 AM: Feel free to "yell" at everyone that works there. I'm sure you have never made a mistake in your life. silverblue said on 04/17/05 @ 03:24 AM: Most of the people who work for fast food places have no reason to actually care about the work they do, other than not getting fired. All chain opperations have this problem. Plus, most of the food served is posion anyway. I consider working for such establishments to be one of the lowest forms of public humilation. If I were a more ambitious person and incredibly wealthy I'd work to put them out of business in any way possible. They simply don't need to exist. mb from uk said on 05/25/05 @ 06:06 AM: u american people are sad, fat and useless. i hope god does save you all Courtney said on 12/13/05 @ 09:21 AM: Ok Carls Jr did not try to poison your kid. Maybe I'm just being defensive cause I work for one but belive me it wasn't on purpose! It happens everyday something will get put in the wrong bag and you wont realize it till it's gone. It happens it's life. I am sorry that it happened but don't try to blame it on them that they were tryin to poison your baby! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! Post a comment |
