“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.

That seems like a lot of blood for a finger injury. Hope the worker's okay.

Hand injuries are notorious for being right fuckers. Whatever the situation, I agree. Hope the employee is alright and that manager is looked at veeeery carefully.

Well, if someone cuts their finger they need to be more careful. And clean up properly. It may of course be that the person at first did not notice.

Yeah I never notice when I cut my hand or fingers. Back in the day computers were made of that crappy sheet metal with razor sharp edges. It often wasn't till I saw the blood I noticed I had cut myself. I would curse because I needed to stop what I was doing and clean it up, often to find the smallest of cuts. So much blood from so small a cut.

Okay, that's wretched

I’d want more than a refund
