Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
How do you honor a fast-food toilet shot down in the prime of life? If you're Carl's Jr., you hold a brief memorial and offer customers free toilet cleaner.
A 26-year-old accidentally shot the commode on Jan. 14 at the Centerville, Utah, restaurant. According to police, the man's licensed and concealed .40-caliber handgun slipped out of his pants as he pulled them up, going off when it hit the floor, shattering the toilet and scaring a female employee using the adjacent bathroom.
The seven stages of grief move at short-order speed in the world of fast food as it took just a few days for the company to capitalize on the bizarre incident and arrange the memorial, which will take place Friday at 10 a.m. at the Centerville store.
"By all accounts, it was a good toilet; reliable and well liked by customers and crew members alike," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of Carl's Jr. marketing, memorializing the unsung worker on the chain's Facebook page. "So, it seems only fitting to have a formal service to let everyone say goodbye to such a critical member of our team that was in very close contact with the public each and every day."
The first 50 mourners get -- ha, ha, ha --- Kaboom. Why not free food? The loss must still be affecting Carl's Jr.'s appetite.
