When hungry and in a hurry, the closest fast-food restaurant seems like the perfect option to have your meal for the day. That’s exactly what a mom did when she and her 4-year-old daughter were in for some cheesburgers.
However, when Tiffany Floyd stopped at a Burger King drive-thru near her home in Western New York, she didn’t expect it to turn into an unpleasant experience.
Sharing a TikTok video, she said, “Today I went to Burger King by my house,” and explained that she ordered a cheeseburger for herself and her daughter, requesting it to be without ketchup, which her daughter isn’t a fan of.
However, once having a couple of french fries and taking a bite of the cheeseburger, the girl said, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.”
Believing that they messed up the order, Tiffany took a look at her daughter’s meal and noticed blood all over it. She was quick to contact the chain and explained there was blood on her daughter’s sandwich and to her surprise, the manager nonchalantly told her than an employee had cut their hand previously and that was how the blood got there. He then told her they would give her a refund if she returned to the restaurant.
Tiffany was shocked by the response and realized the manager thought the blood on the cheeseburger wasn’t much of a deal.
“Now I did reach out to our local health department. They did a report, there’s not much that they can do,” she said, and added that she wants her video to serve as a warning because there were plenty of people purchasing food from the place that day.
Burger King confirmed to People that it temporarily closed its Gettzville location, where the incident took place, for a few days to conduct a thorough cleaning and provide retraining for the staff.
“Every time you get food through a drive-thru, you open the bag up and start eating without even looking. I just want other people there to check to see if they ate it, too.”
Tiffany also added that she now needs to wait a month to have her daughter tested for any blood issues.
The video, which has been seen more than six million times, was commented on by a number of people who were concerned over Tiffany’s daughter’s health.
“omg imagine if the baby did in fact like ketchup?!?!??!!” one person wrote. “thank you so much for spreading your story. I am so very sorry this happened to you and your daughter,” another added.
There were also those who believed they would address the matter differently. “You can totally do more than that! Contact an attorney! I also live in NY and know first hand of an incident on the thruway w/something on a burger that was not a burger…state police were notified etc,” someone commented.
