Man Says He Found Skin on Sandwich

[Wonder_Woman]

DAYTON, Ohio - A man is suing a fast-food restaurant operator for more than $50,000, claiming he found a slice of skin on his chicken sandwich.



David Scheiding filed the lawsuit in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on April 1 after rejecting a settlement offer from GZK Inc., his lawyer said. GZK owns the Arby's restaurant in Tipp City where he bought the sandwich.


Scheiding said he realized something wasn't right when he bit into the sandwich on June 18 and found a piece of flesh about three-fourths of an inch long.


"It looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it," he said. "I got sick and went to the bathroom."


Miami County health investigators talked to the restaurant manager, who had a bandage on his right thumb and wore a latex glove, according to a health district report. The manager said he sliced skin from the thumb while shredding lettuce, and sanitized the area but didn't throw away the bin of lettuce, the report said. Scheiding's sandwich contained lettuce.


"Why wasn't the food searched, and why wasn't it thrown away?" said Scheiding's lawyer, Hank Hyde.


Christine Koeller, vice president of marketing and communications with GZK, said what happened was unintentional.


"(The manager) did destroy product that was in and around the slicer immediately, and did everything that he thought was appropriate to do," Koeller said.

Order plain...dress it when you get home. Inspect before biting.

sick to my stomach now. i would have lost it if that were to ever happen to me. i know that if any bodily fluids come in contact with food it is to be thrown away and the whole area cleaned. did he check to see if there was anything in the bin??? at least he put on a latex glove but TOO LATE!!!

omg. i would have gotten sooo sick to my stomach. ugh. that's just nasty. biting into someone else's skin? gross.

Just a little more protien in your diet! lol

[smiley]

So, how much did they offer to settle for, and what long-term damage has been done that merits $50K? Will the money make the skin less human? Have we checked the fingerprint to see if it's, in fact, the managers?

[Blondie]

i dont think i would want to know who it belongs to. just the fact that it was human skin is bad enough.

Yeah, don't really think it would make much a difference if it was Frank's skin or Tito's skin, pretty sick either way.

I wonder if skin is included in the low-carb Atkins diet??

I hate to know what I've eaten over the years. And now you have scientists injecting human genes from the liver into rice. Apparently the liver-produced enzyme is good at breaking down harmful chemicals in the body. They want it to do the same to herbicides that intermix with the rice.
