Even as fast food workers are making their case to raise the mandatory minimum wage to $15 an hour, one Wendy’s employee in Lovejoy, GA is proving she is being paid too much.
The fast food worker, identified as Amy Sieber, accidentally dropped her used marijuana cigarette in a customer’s cheeseburger in November. The customer reportedly returned to the store and called police after finding the pot in her food.
Police responded and arrested the 32-year-old employee after she allegedly confessed to the illegal mishap.
Lt. Michael Gaddis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Sieber admitted she was smoking while she worked and accidentally dropped part of her marijuana into the burger as she prepared it.
In addition to being arrested, Sieber was also reportedly fired by Wendy’s for failing to “follow proper food handling steps.”
