Unlike a similar case of “food tampering” involving American law enforcement earlier this year — in which an unidentified police officer forgot they took a bite of their McChicken sandwich and then accused employees of chomping on it — an incident at a Mickey D’s in California was reportedly caught on tape.
Tatyana Hargrove, an employee of a Bakersfield McDonald’s, who had recently lost a lawsuit against the city after claiming she was a victim of excessive force and civil rights violations in 2017, was arrested on Friday for allegedly tampering with a uniformed police officer’s meal.
A colleague witnessed Hargrove “rubbing a hamburger bun on the floor and spitting on it before serving it to the officer,” according to KGET. McDonald’s management, “appalled,” reported the event to authorities after reviewing surveillance footage.
“I want to ensure our customers and law enforcement that the behaviour exhibited by the individual involved in this incident does not represent my values nor those of my McDonald’s business,” restaurant owner Jim Abbate said in a statement to Fox News. “When we found out about this disturbing incident, we quickly notified the police. We are cooperating with their investigation and want law enforcement to know they are always welcome at McDonald’s.”(snip)
Hargrove was charged with mingling a harmful substance with food or drink — a felony — and her bail was set at $10,000.

Automated Kiosk ordering is anonymous. Even for whites ordering at a black youth restaurant.
* hint *
ALWAYS go to McDonalds because they consistently use anonymous kioks. It is a side benefit to minimum wage laws.
At least it wasn’t Beavis from the episode “tainted meat”...
“Oh, wait, most employees don’t have that privilege.”
Do you work in a job where large numbers of people want to kill you on sight without knowing anything whatsoever about you personally, or perhaps spit in your food? Let me guess....
I check out the staff before ordering. If their persuasion is of a certain make up I pass. Call me bigoted or whatever but far too many of these stories for me.
I get the context. Regardless, the Amish thing is insulting and has been over used by hapless morons trying to be clever. BTW... I joined FR in 2001.
Better still, order by smart phone app.
You are UNIDENTIFIED, until pickup.
Servers do not even see your skin color until pickup. What are they gonna do, swap bags? not. It is peace of mind.
If blacks & liberals do not police themselves, then they are being replaced by robots. Tribal stupid.
I would call you wise.
They were probably forced to hire the perp by some government regulation.
The turnover of fast food workers is such that if the individual is walking and has a room temperature body temp you will be hired.

Awesome hilarious ! Thanks
God created black people just as He did everyone else, in His own image. Did He not?
Humor is also one of His creations.
Sure, when it’s godly. But to rationalize something ungodly as just humor doesn’t justify before Him. There are a lot of warnings about watching our words in Scripture, including from Jesus in Matthew 12:36-37, and that’s all the more so because many times where we have the most freedom is in what we say:
“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
No picture.I find that a bit spooky.
My husband said since God created us in His image, He must be a short redhead with curly hair. (Me) To which I replied, “No, he’s a tall dark, handsome (American) Indian” (My husband). We’re like God, in that, like Him, we are body, soul, and spirit. Jesus is the Body, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit, and The Father is the Soul (mind and emotions).
Do you?
Were you forced at gunpoint to apply?
All that we have comes from God, the Bible says, so we have no reason to boast in it.
And didn’t He create black people in His own image, just as He did the rest of humanity? Are you sure that there won’t be blacks, including black Americans, in Heaven, while there will be white Americans who end up in Hell?
Now, if a white American had done this, it certainly wouldn’t be argued here that he did it “because he’s white.” So why are all black people guilty here? God expects people who receive eternal life from Him to be just. And this is what Jesus said about our words:
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. (Matthew 12)
Nothing against black people, but yeah, you’d like to think that Chinese people are cooking Chinese food, if it matters. Around here, most of the Asian restaurants have Hispanic cooks. I don’t care, as long as it tastes good, but sometimes it does matter. Bought bagels at a bagel shop in Chicago suburb; lots of Jewish people in the area -— who would think the shop was run by either Hispanics or middle-easterners? (I couldn’t tell which). My mistake. They didn’t even taste or have the mouth feel like real bagels. Should have gone to the shop named Schwartzman, instead.
The jury awarded no damages to Tatyana Hargrove after rendering a verdict in favor of the City of Bakersfield during a trial held this month at U.S. District Court in Fresno.
