Blood On My Food Too: Floyd
"I gave her the bag to eat the food and I heard 'Mom I don't want ketchup', so I took the bag back thinking they'd messed up our order and I looked and saw there was blood all over her bag, the hamburger, the toy, her fries, everything. I instantly told her to spit out her food. She did have fries and a bit of her hamburger. And then I looked at my meal, and there was blood on mine too," Daily Mail quoted Floyd saying.
Burger King Releases A Statement, Offers To Bear Medical Expenses
'We were deeply upset and concerned. We have been in contact with the Guest and are working with her to resolve this incident. This incident was the result of a team member in the restaurant who injured his finger, and upon noticing immediately stepped away. We closed the restaurant to retrain all the team members and hired an external company to complete a deep cleaning,' the company explained. We expect the restaurant to re-open Monday and are fully paying team members for any lost shifts during this temporary shutdown,' read a statement by the American multinational giant.
My Anxiety Through The Roof, Says Floyd
Floyd said, “We did tell Burger King that medical expenses were not enough. My daughter has not eaten since this, and my anxiety is through the roof. What if my daughter needs professional help from this?”
