An on-duty Chicago Police Sergeant supposedly received unwanted additional ingredients in her recent meal at a Chicago community Wendy’s — hair and also dust on a double cheeseburger.
An unnamed Chicago law enforcement officer claimed that she checked out a Wicker Park Wendy’s drive-through on Monday and purchased a meal around 1:30 a.m. neighborhood time.
The policeman claimed that she paid for the food and also left the drive-through as well as started eating her dish.
She said that as she began to consume, she discovered hair and also dust in her food, motivating her to go inside the dining establishment and challenge a worker over the incident.
According to reports, the worker was “dismissive” of the officer’s complaint.
Newsweek reported that “[a]n internal email” stated that a “lieutenant on the scene told police officers the manager of the fast food outlet ‘gave [the sergeant] attitude’ and ‘would not take her complaint seriously. All the manager would do is offer her a refund.'”
The officer– that declined medical treatment– apparently became ill at the scene and regurgitated “several times.”
The Chicago Police Department told the outlet that detectives are checking out the occurrence.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Wendy’s said, “The quality and integrity of our food is our number one priority and we take any food-related claims extremely seriously.”
“We have been in touch with representatives from the Chicago Police Department and will fully investigate this matter,” the statement continued. “We have great respect for law enforcement and their service to our communities.”
No charges have been submitted about the event at the time of this coverage.
Social Media Backlash On Chicago Is Huge
The Chicago Sun-Times published concerning the event on Facebook, triggering heavy conversation.
One individual wrote, “This is what happens when local and national government try to make the police the enemy. There are bad apples of course but to make a blanket statement trying to defund the police and portray them as bad is a recipe for disaster.”
“So this is what Lightfoot’s City has become now???? Vote her OUT along with Foxx and Pritzker too,” another user added.
Another customer said, “Perhaps the server knew something about this “officer” that we don’t. She may have deserved it. Many of them do!!”
“Yeah, I’ll wait for proof,” another user spat. “There have been tons of stories like this and tons of those have been found to be made by attention seeking POS police officers looking for sympathy. Like the person making the food literally went outside and collected dirt? C’mon now.”
