“I look in her bag and there is blood all over her bag, her toys, her fries, everything,” says New York resident Tiffany Floyd.

“I look in her bag and there is blood all over her bag, her toys, her fries, everything,” says New York resident Tiffany Floyd.

A Burger King near Buffalo, New York temporarily closed over the weekend after a customer found blood in her daughter’s food.

On July 26, New York resident Tiffany Floyd posted a TikTok video about a distressing experience with her four-year-old daughter Matayla at a Burger King in Getzville, New York.

…

“I heard, ‘Mom, I don’t want ketchup,’ so I take the bag back thinking that they messed up our order,” she continues, before using her rubber-gloved hand to show her daughter’s burger to the camera. “I look in her bag and there is blood all over her bag, her toys, her fries, everything.”

Floyd says she then pulled over and called Burger King to ask what was going on with her food, and the manager told her that a worker injured his finger right before making and bagging their order, and that if she came back, she could get a refund.

So, she decided to call her local health department and file a report.

    Just a refund is not enough for that, no. It’s a biohazard and the kid ate it. That calls for a lot more restitution.

      I’m pretty confident that the manager of a random Burger King does not really have the authority to offer any more restitution than that. Plus, no one said “just” a refund. Starting with a refund is a good thing. Good things should be reinforced, not mocked.

        As I told the other person, the manager knows who to contact and it sounds like they didn’t offer to contact them.

          Should know but probably doesn’t, or wasn’t thinking at the time

            If they don’t know, they were improperly trained, meaning this woman should get far more compensation.

            If they weren’t thinking at the time, they were negligent, meaning this woman should get far more compensation.

            This isn’t a burnt burger bun we’re talking about. This is a significant biohazard.

      True but the manager can’t offer the proper restitution. They should have had a senior shit-cleaner-upper call them.
