JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Burger King employee in north Florida has been arrested and charged after two sandwiches he made were found to have hydrocodone pills in them.

Dopey reporting - exactly how did they determine that some kid was putting pain pills in the burgers?

More like some sad sack tried to hide his stash inside a burger and convinced a cop that he had no idea where they came from - musta been from the burger joint!

“something don’t add up.hydocodone isn’t cheap and you’re telling me thay this kid was wasting them on random customers?”

Just a guess, but perhaps he really really hated his boss/job and wanted them to get sued into bankruptcy?

Same here......close as I get to fast food is a run into a grocery store for a can of soup or chili an a soda.

Ok two peeps at the place spat out pills that the perp had made. Jeez - they must have been rolling out of his sleeves?

And another guy at the same joint, who sold them to butterfingers, also gets busted.

Darwin award contestants.

“Ya, what is the street price of that? Were they hoping to see people start acting goofy? Nobody would do that right away with a single pill anyway. ???”

Maybe he was an industrial spy/saboteur working undercover for McDonalds?

“Burger King says the franchise restaurant, which is independently owned and operated, has terminated the two employees.”

Gee. Ya think!

Just glad it wasn’t a finger.

But it might have gotten into the Burger the same way.

[animal172]

Yep, and those are the decent looking ones.

[camle]

thta’s a stretch. if that is your goal, there are plenty of ways to accomplish that that are cheaper, and less likely to take you down with them. For example, broken glass, soapy water, sand...

[My Favorite Headache]

LOL!

[Clemenza]

Well, this isn’t as gross as a certain rapper who crooned that he “got busy in a Burger King bathroom.”

[fatnotlazy]

No In and Out franchises where I live, but Chik-fil-A has a few outlets here. There is one in the fast food court at the mall closest to my house.

When my eyesight started to falter, I had trouble reading the menu posted behind the counter. A very nice and patient gal at the register read off whatever I needed to know.

So now when I go to the mall, I make it a point to stop at the Chik-fil-a. By the way, they make a good southwestern salad too.

Who supplied the drugs and why?

[Rebelbase]

"YO! You is supposed to charge extra for the "special". How can I make a profit if you give it away?"

[SZonian]

Welcome to FR ddk.

And they make the food out in the open where you can watch what they’re doing.

Double-Double for me when I get home! Woo Hoo!

[ronniesgal]

that was my first thought too: he’s giving away his drugs?

[ronniesgal]

well hi and welcome!

[ronniesgal]

I thought that was Roseanne and Tom Arnold.( must’ve been in a handicap stall)

I actually like Burger King, but I read they’re going with Starbucks coffee, which I don’t care for.
