Officials say,Seiber had been smoking pot on the job and conveniently “misplaced” the joint inside the customers burger. The joint was taken as evidence and Seiber was arrested for possession of marijuana and was immediately fired. The customer, who said she experienced food poisoning type symptoms after the incident, said she had to be hospitalized. So far, Wendy’s has offered to pay for her medical bills. They have even thrown in a generous $50 gift certificate for her next visit.
“Obviously the employees broke the rules and did not follow proper food handling steps,” said a rep for Wendy’s. “We are deeply sorry that this incident occurred.” The rep said the franchise is working out a favorable solution with the customer, including paying her medical bills.
