This past monday I had gotten some food from Taco Bell. When I got home I started eating the cheesy double beef burito, after a few bites I had bitten into something hard. After coughing it up I realized that it was a hard piece of plastic, slightly larger than a quarter. I was glad that it was me and not my girlfriend or my three year old son. I contacted Taco Bell and informed them of what had happened, plus saved the plastic. Two days later the store manager contacted me offering me my money back or $20 in free food. It seemed hardly worth it since we only spent $4, plus I could have seriously been injured from it. The regional manager than contacted me the following day and I met with her at the store. During the phone conversation she offered me free food for a week or my money back, I declined. She took pictures of the object and asked if I was surrendering this to them, I said no. I explained to the regional manager that it looked like the corner of the plastic storage bins they use to store food in over night. She got out one of the bins and said she couldn't say for sure but it did sort of look like it. But then said that all their stuff came in plastic bags so there was no way it could have gotten in there. I explained that they use those for storage over night in the cooler, but she replied again that all their stuff is in plastic bags. Now I know that they can not store them in the plastic bag they come in over night, and why would they have those plastic containers if they do not use them. They then turned it over to the insurance company. They had called em to take a voice recording of what had happened and asked me what I wanted, I told him I have never had to deal with anything like this and at this time was unsure of what was fair. The issuance guy stopped by and took a few pictures of his own and then said he was going to go to the store and look around to see what he could find. I explained to him it looked like a piece off of the containers for storing the food in the cooler. I really don't think that what they have offered me is fair considering it could have been my 3 year old son, who wanted the food, and what damage that could have done to him; or even my pregnant girlfriend. Can anyone give me some advice on what is fair in this matter? I am still continuing to monitor my throat just incase of infection. I don't want to take the chance of it coming down to that, but it doesn't mean that I didn't cut my throat when I was coughing it up.
