Another Reason To Stay Out Of Arby's: Arby's Urinal Burns Customer's Genitals With Jets Of Steam - Cue LawsuitSteering clear of fast food has always been sound practice for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Now it seems as though it’s also sound practice for keeping your gentlemanly bits intact.  Oh dear.

A recently filed complaint in El Paso, Texas County Court contends that the victim – Kenneth Dejoie – was “utilizing the urinal in the men’s restroom when it caused a jet of steam to shoot forth from the urinal and burn his genitals.”  Huh?  How does that even happen?  I’m sure you ladies might not understand, but urinals don’t do that.  Ever.  Were it that one might expect something like that, we’d have straightened that issue out long ago.  Solutions to poverty, hunger, and war we can’t figure out; not having steam shoot from a urinal?  I thought we had covered.

Clearly alarmed, he approached employees about the horribly malfunctioning bathroom fixture.  They responded ”we have that bathroom problem again,” and explained “this happens when the sink in the kitchen is running.”  Huh?

A copy of the inevitable lawsuit is posted online; the man and his wife are seeking damages for negligence, premises liability and loss of consortium.  A spokesperson for the company issued a statement reassuring customers that we are committed to providing quality food in a safe and healthy environment.  Since this matter is in litigation they declined further comment on the matter.

Finger Found In Arby’s Sandwich: Michigan Teen Ryan Hart Gets Unfortunate Surprise In His Junior Roast Beef Sandwhich

Finger Found In Arby's Sandwich: Michigan Teen Ryan Hart Gets Unfortunate Surprise In His Junior Roast Beef SandwhichRyan Hart, 14, was eating a junior roast beef sandwich on May 11 when he bit into a piece he described as particularly rubbery.  That’s not a good endorsement when someone says it’s particularly rubbery, suggesting that they’re accustomed to and willing to accept some level of rubberiness in your product.  That’s loyalty.

He spit out the offending item, which turned out to be a part of a finger measuring about one-inch long and a quarter-inch thick, MLive reports.  The whole disturbing incident occurred at Arby’s on North West Avenue in Jackson, Michigan.  Ryan, his mother, and some friends had gone in for a quick bite after school.  They ordered at the drive through and ate in the parking lot.  Upon discovering the finger they trashed the rest of the food, notified the store, and went to get Ryan check out.  Police took a statement and the board of health was notified of the incident.

Finger Found In Arby's Sandwich: Michigan Teen Ryan Hart Gets Unfortunate Surprise In His Junior Roast Beef SandwhichAn employee had sliced her finger while operating a meat slicer at the restaurant and left her station without immediately saying she cut herself, said Steve Hall, environmental health director for the Jackson County Health Department. Other workers were filling an order before they became aware of what happened, he said.  I’ve worked in restaurant kitchens, if someone lops off a piece of finger I suppose it’s possible no one noticed for a bit.  Long enough to serve up a bloody digit?  I’m not sure.

As for Arby’s:

“Arby’s wants to reassure customers that we are committed to providing quality food in a safe and healthy environment.  We are deeply concerned and apologetic to the guest involved in this unfortunate incident,” said a letter signed by John Gray, VP of corporate communications and public relations for Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc.  The general manager at the Jackson restaurant declined comment.  In the letter, dated Wednesday, Gray called what happened an “isolated and unfortunate accident” during which an employee was injured at the business at 952 N. West Ave.
