UNION CITY, Ga. (AP) -- A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty, so salty that he says it made him sick. Kendra Bull was arrested Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1,000 bail. Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off."  On her break, she ate a burger made with the salty meat. "It didn't make me sick," Bull told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. But then Police Officer Wendell Adams got a burger made with the oversalted meat, and he returned a short time later and told the manager it made him sick. Police said samples of the burger to the state crime lab for tests.

What was this some type of super salt or something?   I mean if salt spills on a hamburger and a professional manager at McDonalds "thumps it out" you just got to assume that the salt would fall to the ground and the hamburgers would be edible.  Therefore, I don’t blame Ms. Bull at all for this incident.  Plus if she ate it herself you can’t get mad at her for serving it.  That’s rule #1 of the fast food business.   If you will eat it, you can serve it.  This is just a classic case of a cop on a power trip.   Unless of course the crime lab turns up something different like there was no thumping involved at all.   Then all bets are off.
