jessberr31`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Tonight our family got some food from a taco place called Del Taco. I got 2 tostadas okay, and I take my FIRST bite (we didn`t eat till we got home). Feels like the shell is hard as I`m chewing (I`m still getting the kids` food for them and my BF`s so I`m movin around trying to multi task), so I go to swallow and choke on something!!! I`m gagging and it comes up so I pull it out and ITS A TWISTY TIE! Like the METAL wire with the paper around it to tie up bread bags! What do I do? I could have choked to death or swallowed it! I called the place and no one answered so I left a msg but no one has called back. Its not exactly close to our house so I`m not going in there tonight. Do you call a lawyer for something like this? I mean, I`ve found something like a hair in my food before but never a piece of metal wire, and I`ve always noticed it before it went into my mouth! And a hair isn`t dangerous, I friggin choked on that thing!

It was at Perkin`s in Fla that me and my BF first found a hair in his food, then when I told him he could have the rest of my turkey we found like a price tag or something. They didn`t make us pay and my BF got another entree. So I called the place I got the food from before I went in. A teenager answered the phone so I asked for a manager. He says no manager is there. So I say `They just leave you guys unsupervised for hours?` (he said no manager would be back until around 5pm and it was 12:30 when I called) and he says they are okay. I was busy with getting ready for trick or treat at that time, but I`m going in there tomorrow. Oh, I told him what happened and he said to call back when a manager is there.

My mom found one in her pot pie from Perkins once and they must have had it happen a lot because they we`re doing anything to make sure she didn`t report them to health services. I`d call health services though, obviously they aren`t being careful with their food, who knows who is doing what do peoples food.

Well sounds like an accident to me and i wouldn`t freak over it. I am sure the place will be more then apologetic and give you your money back. I don`t see the big deal it wasn`t a severed finger. I def wouldn`t sue that`s just silly imo.

hahah.. I prolly would of taken it out...and continued eating :P The craziest thing I have had in a food item was a chicken beak in my mcnuggets :( GAG!

I would call the BBB or health bureau also. I think the thing that would piss me off the most, other than damn near choking on the thing, would be that the jerks won`t answer their phone! That would drive me NUTS! Especailly if you know they are there! Get `em girl!!!!

I dont think your over reacting. Because just like you mentioned your son wanting a tostada.. What if he would have got it stuck in his throat.. He is little.. I think that people in restraunts need to check their food before wrapping it and sticking it in a bag! Hope everything turns out for the best!

jessberr31 (838.4 days ago)
LMAO! I just googled it. I`m hitting up Family Video tomorrow!

jessberr31 (838.4 days ago)
Waiting? Nope. Whats it about?

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
One thing I can always count on you for is some good info and a good chuckle! ;)

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
OMG, I just remembered something. My 6yo asked for a tostada too, but he had already got what he wanted so I told him no. I would have been ready to kill if my son would have choked on or swallowed that! I don`t think we`ll be getting anything from anywhere for a long long time. I think I`m partly pissed b/c I loved their damn tostadas! Now its ruined! :P And someone mentioned its probably ran by highschoolers, yeah, your right. Its by the mall and I only stopped there b/c we were out getting costumes and it was getting late. I wish I would have just came home and made chicken like I planned.

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
Now thats what I`m talking about! I`m going to do that right now! TY cheekybee! Don`t be so mean to me, I`m really not that bad!:)

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
I`m not saying I WANT to SUE! Someone else suggested I call a lawyer thats why I asked if it was something you call one about. I was thinking more along the lines of calling the health dept. I`m sure the place will give me my money back, probably for the entire meal(especially when they see the thing, its not a regular twisty, its like an industrial one, lol! And I`m not exaggerating either!) and I`m fine with that for me. But I`m saying what can be done otherwise? And NO cheekybee, I don`t think I can be a millionaire, I think I can be a GAZILLIONAIRE, smart ass. I`ve had a lawsuit before. I got attacked and bitten by a dog when I was 7 1/2 mo pg with my second son and had my 2yo with me, in my own front yard. We ain`t get shit, not even the medical bills paid, and I had PT, tons of antibiotics, etc. So I know its not like `OH, I THINK I CAN GET RICH OFF OF A TWISTY TIE`, I wouldn`t sue unless there was a serious reason. I`m not saying its the end of the world, but I am upset. I`m just asking questions about what I should do. Like I said before, I`ve found a hair, a bug, and a price tag too, lol, but those things don`t really pose a big threat. I don`t want someone to choke and die or swallow one and have that metal tear up their intestines. I do realize shit happens. But what if theres some weirdo intentionally putting stuff in the food? I can`t get a hold of these people at the place, I`ve called several times with no answer, so I`m going in there in the morning.

aidensmommy1 (838.5 days ago)
Yes I would be mad to but things like this happen. Its a fast food place probably ran by teenages. I don`t think it`s something to get sue happy about..its not like you got hurt or anything its just a twisty tie. Way to many people try to sue for stupid things, we all make mistakes. Im sure you could get your money back or a free meal..

rowanskysmom (838.5 days ago)
Accidents happen. I think you`re over reacting a little.

5against1 (838.5 days ago)
Well, you should at least get your money back. A lawyer cant do anything. You cant sue because you could have choked.

Austin::and::Alexs::Momma (838.5 days ago)
do you still have your receipt? If so, maybe they`ll give you a full refund. Probably not much more that can be done about it since you weren't hurt. I understand your frustration though!

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
I just called some 24/7 lawyer just to see what they would say. The guy told me to tell the place and maybe they will give me a free meal (I hung up on him)! WTH?! Like I want a meal from there! I`m even more pissed now!

christinarose (838.5 days ago)
I would definitly complain to the store by going in there tomorrow. See what they will do for you then, and if that isn`t OK, then I would take the issue higher up in the company.

jessberr31 (838.5 days ago)
Oh, and I put the whole box with the tostada and bread tie into a ziploc bag and put it in the fridge. I still can`t believe that happened to me! That is sooooo gross! Makes me never want any kind of FF again! Not that we eat a lot, but even as a treat! Sheesh!

  1. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  2. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  3. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  4. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  5. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  6. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  7. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  8. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  9. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  10. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
