UNION, SOUTH CAROLINA, June 25 (Nationwide Times) — Three Wendy’s employees in Union, South Carolina, have been charged after police said they tampered with a customer’s food, taking it from the trash and spitting on it before serving it again.
Reports citing the Union Police Department said the incident happened at the Wendy’s on North Duncan Bypass after a customer complained about her drive-thru order and asked for it to be remade. Police said the food was handled again before it was given back to the customer.
