I couldn't find the original story, but this comes close. I used to have the original story posted on my corkboard by my employee's schedule for about 6 months as a warning to never let that kind of thing happen in my store.
The things that my linked story is missing was that the manager was also not fired, but was transferred to a different location. The person that became a witness for the cop was suspiciously let go.
Wow. I just didn't believe such a large company would handle the situation so badly, but I stand corrected. Thank you.
Something that might make you extra excited, is knowing that KFC and Taco Bell are the same company.
YUM is the company that runs KFC, TB, and Pizza Hut ...http://www.yum.com

Somehow those lists will just happen to exclude the bit where cologne was added to the meal, and it forced the guy to have a month off work?
Six months? I wouldn't even give it that long.
we were somewhere near cadia on the edge of the eye of terror, when the spook began to take hold...

Turns out that was a really bad idea as with just one puff the smoke caused some pretty severe burns to his throat and landed him in the ER as his throat seized up and he almost stopped breathing. It was incredibly serious situation but we hadn't meant at any harm and thought it'd be a fun way to joke around.

A new employee noticed a couple other guys tampering with a customer's food and reported it to the manager. Manager says "it's what we do to cops" or something to that effect. They saved the rancid old chicken and soaked it in a bucket of pee. Needless to say, the cop and his family got sick.
New employee became a whistle blower, and was a witness at the civil trial, where they only sued for medical costs. KFC's response? Fire the whistleblower, keep cruddy employees and manager.
Wow, if that is true, then it is amazing that they let that restaurant stay in business after that. Doesn't the US have food safety laws or anything?

Nope, those got the axe in the name of deregulation. All those regulations and agencies standing in the way of business, they had to go.

"All those regulations and agencies" went? Every single one of them?

Regulations on serving food tend to be local- IE state or municipal. The feds are generally limited to higher level distribution, animal facilities, etc.
So shutting down the restaurant would likely be up to a local board, city council, etc.
