The incident occurred on May 31 when a customer ordered from the drive-thru but encountered an issue with her meal. When she requested a refund, staff members took the food back. However, the employees then offered to remake the order, which the customer ultimately accepted before driving away.

While driving, the customer received a phone call from someone at the restaurant who informed her that an employee had pulled her food from a trash can and spat on it.
Upon checking the meal, the woman realized the “new” order was actually the same food from her initial order.
She immediately contacted the police to report the incident. The victim also called the store to speak with the restaurant manager, who confirmed he had spoken with the staff and verified the allegations. The manager noted that all three employees involved had been written up.
