A man who bit into an Arby's sandwich and found a piece of human flesh in it almost a year ago has filed a lawsuit against the owner of the restaurant. According to the "Daytona Daily News" David Scheiding purchased a grilled chicken sandwich at an Arby's in Tipp City, Ohio last June. He took his lunch back to his office and when he bit into the sandwich he said, quote, "it felt like rubber." When Scheiding spit it out he discovered a piece of flesh nearly an inch long with what appeared to be fingerprints on it. It was later determined the flesh was from the thumb of a manager at the restaurant who had accidently sliced it off the day before. It's believed the skin landed in a bin of lettuce that wasn't thrown away after the incident.
After all the frauds we've seen regarding human parts in foods, it's sad...and disgusting...to know this kind of stuff really happens. What was this Arby's thinking? Look for the flesh that was cut off and make sure you get all of it. If you can't find it...GET RID OF ALL THE MEAT IN THE AREA....egad. I guess if it was "common sense", everyone would have it.
I was involved in a simular story also at an Arby's. Except it was my flesh and the manager got very angry with me when I suggested it was unacceptable for him to serve the meat on the slicer [or not clean the blade]. And no, he did not even look for the chunk of my thumb. I told him there was a bit of thumbnail on what was cut off and someone was sure to find it and sue his ass off. At that point it became clear that I was to shut my mouth or be fired.
