Prank Call Leads To Strip Searches

Wendy's Supervisors Ordered Searches Of Employees

 

BOSTON -- Investigators say someone posing as the police called several local fast food restaurants telling managers they must strip search their employees -- and they did.

 

NewsCenter 5's Jim Boyd reported that four Wendy's fast food restaurant supervisors were told Saturday that their employees were stealing from customers, and to conduct immediate strip searches.

 

"The person on the other end identified themselves as a detective from Whitman and said one of the employees was a wanted suspect and asked them to do a strip search," said Whitman Deputy Police Chief Raymond Nelson. "Evidently, they were strip searched." 

 

The incidents happened in Whitman and West Bridgewater.

 

Police in West Bridgewater declined to be interviewed for this report, but said a similar case in their town has two victims -- the person coerced into making the illegal search and the person who was searched.

 

Wendy's released a statement Wednesday that said "the chain (has) fallen victim to vicious scam," and, "we are certainly embarrassed and saddened over all that has happened... Our deepest apologies go out to our employees who were drawn into this scam. They thought they were responding to the direct orders from the police."

 

Police say they would never act in such a way.

 

"We would always go in person or have the person come to the police station," said Nelson.

 

Wendy's customers say they cannot believe what happened.

 

"The employees have certain rights and management has certain privileges, but just on hearsay, I wouldn't have done that," said one customer.

 

"If my son or my daughter were working here part-time, I would just be totally flabbergasted if they came home and told me that this had happened to them," said another customer.

 

Boyd said similar incidents have been reported in Ohio, New York and Florida dating back to 2000.

 

The supervisors have been suspended with pay pending an investigation.

 

This is so funny. Management at some of these places is so bad. I mean how are you gonna believe a person on the phone telling you to do this. I would have been like, please come in and show us paperwork. End of that. I think fast food restaurants need to look into who they pay to manage there employees. Stuff like this shouldn't be tolarated. (sp)

This was on the local news last night. I laughed my ass off thinking people could be that stupid. If the police really feel that strongly about a situation they send somebody, not make phone calls.

 

Of course one guy called an attorney later that day and said that his female manager had inspected him from head to toe, even feeling his genitalia and spreading his BUTT-cheeks. The attorney says the guy is now going to be in counseling and everything...didn't take him long to Ching-Ching-Cash in on this fuck-up since you can see it headed to courts.

Oh yeah, I'm sure he was completely offended and traumatized by this. [/sarcasm]

Hey, when's the last time you saw a really attractive female manager at a fast food chain?

 

Makes you worry about people when they bite on pranks with obvious logic holes.

What scam? There's is no scam here. The managers are just gullible idiots falling for a prank anyone with common sense would pick up on.

Goddamn people are fucking idiots.

 

Employee: Can I have my check?

Manager: Oh, I'll give you your check. Now take your clothes off.

Employee: Uh... okay. Say, what's that rubber glove for?
