ERIE, Pa. — A black Ohio man claims in a federal discrimination lawsuit that a northwestern Pennsylvania Burger King worker spat on his food while another worker tried to obscure the man’s view of the incident.

A spokeswoman from Burger King’s Miami headquarters did not immediately respond to questions about the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Erie.

Glenn Goodwin, of Cleveland, claims the incident took place in November 2008 at a Burger King in Fairview, about 10 miles southwest of Erie.

The lawsuit contends police investigated and discovered saliva in Goodwin’s food, but his attorney, Jeff Yelsky, wouldn’t say if criminal charges resulted.

Yelsky says the Burger King workers, who are not identified in the lawsuit, were white.

    these people are always doing some nasty 5hit in eating establisments. last year there was something about 2 dudes and a broad spitting in some sandwiches in a Dominoes (forget the state). around same time, there was a video showing some dude bathing in a kitchen sink at a fast food place (again, don’t rember the state). in public restrooms i see’em walkin away from the uri nal and outta the 5hitt er w/o washing their hands!

    That’s some F’ckd up sh!t.I knew this crazy a$$ girl who cussed out a drive thru worker.She left…but why the hell would you do something like that to someone who’s preparing or handling your food.I hope they fired that a$$hole and the person blocking the man’s view.Yes unfortunately people do leave the rest room,all the time without washing their hands.I’ve seen it to many times myself first hand.With soap their,so it’s no excuse.That’s why I don’t shake Mutha F’er’s,hands!

    Why am I not surprised? I’m gonna repost this to BP News to spread the word. I’m certainly done with Burger King after reading this because every time I see the sign I’ll remember. Of course this doesn’t happen everywhere (I don’t think!), but anywhere is too sick for me.

    People come on. surely you don’t think burger king is the only resturant that has had that issue. so what really happened? Normall people don’t spit in other peoples food and really smart people don’t piss off people who cook the food. I have heard of the same thing happening to a white patron by another person, and a black person supposedly spitting in another black persons food. So I ask again what really happened?

    Why do people report this when they should wait for the person outside and bust a cap in their ass. Personally I would have waited for this Jr Klan and pistol whipped his ass and anyone else who was with him. When you call the police in cases like this most likey they are white and most likely they don’t see anything wrong with a white man spitting in your food. So handle it yourself, just don’t be there when they arrive cause your ass is going to jail.
