Neb. family of four was sickened by the food they ate at a KFC/Taco Bell

OMAHA, Neb. - A police officer and his family won $40,000 in their lawsuit against a restaurant that served them food tainted by an employee's spit and urine.

A jury on Friday ruled in favor of Sidney police Officer Keith Andrew, whose two sons, then 4 and 7, were sickened by the food they ate at a KFC/Taco Bell in October 2005. Sidney is a town of about 6,000 in western Nebraska.

The younger boy became violently ill with gastroenteritis and dehydration, vomited for hours and was forced to spend time in a hospital, the family's lawsuit said.

I guess you never know what you get at a "fast food joint" ..If you read this one, pay special notice to why they fired the idiot who did this..

1. Maybe this will make employees think twice about doing that.

I can understand being mad at the customers, but putting bodily fluids in their food is disgusting and wrong.

2. Employee discovered pissing in food and DOSNT get fired for it!

If you're hungry driving through Nebraska, hope ya packed a sandwich!

3. OMG, they fired him for missing work and not what he did to their customers?

I see the creep only had to pay $100 fine too. Geesh, $40,000 seems like a small sum for what that family went through, especially the poor little one who was hospitalized.

4. How would you feel if this happened to you?

You are right, $40,000 is not enough. I wonder what it like to live near that place? Has the town got together and decided to put those creeps out of business? Just enough people in town would never go into that KFC again

That would be better than any lawsuit. Ind boycott any other franchises that these fools own..

5. Note to criminals:

Here's a restaurant just ripe for the pickings. (Assuming anyone still eats there.) The police response-time will be measured in days.

6. Note to cops: Try treating citizens with respect.

"Employees maintained 'special servings' of food reserved for ... officers," the lawsuit said. "The 'special servings' had been urinated in or spit in by KFC/Taco Bell employees."

Gee, I wonder why.

[Dr. Strange]

7. Because they're assholes.

Gee, I wonder why.

Because the employees were assholes. Poisoning a four- and seven-year-old? I don't care what you think about cops, that kind of shit is Timothy McVeigh territory.
