They will get sued. They and their insurance company will pay.

She was the temporary manager, assigned to try and get the franchise on its feet.
Came over from Texas for an assignment of a few weeks. They ended up asking her to stay a little longer

Story I read the other day is latch had been broken for months and employees had been using a screwdriver to operate it and propping the door open with a box when they went in. District manager was aware and let it go on.
FAFO for Arby’s

She was the only one there at the time. Read the article before you start insinuating this garbage

Unfortunately, no one was there. She beat the door until her hands were bloody before dying on the floor

I didn't see where it said she was there alone.
This is the first article I saw saying she was found in the morning. The original articles said 6:30 PM.

All walk-in coolers/freezers come equipped with emergency door releases. Its usually a bolt with a large glow in the dark handle on the inside of the cooler that keeps the lock tightened/connected to the outside of the cooler. Outside of something(or someone *cough cough*) obstructing the door, you’d have to be an imbecile to die by freezing in a walk-in.

There was some initial speculation that foul play was involved.

From what I read the other day she was the only one there.

Obviously you ran your mouth without reading up on the details

I repeat, there is no way to be locked inside a walk-in cooler/freezer via faulty lock or handle.

She’s the damn GM. The broken freezer not being repaired is on her.
the article i read said corporate sent her to this location to get it back into the profitable status. that the store had numerous occurrences of the dining area being closed and drive thru only
she was from Houston and sent to New Iberia to fix the store, and had only recently arrived and was working by herself that day.
she may not have know about the lock issue or the oil jug used to block the freezer open.....

Nothing is foolproof for a sufficiently talented fool. I think the door shut on her, she panicked, and didn’t find the release lever. Assuming it was still there.
The last one I installed had a ring, the like you said was glow in the dark, that you pulled and it released the mechanism. The exterior handle could be locked with a pad lock and it still would open.

Arby's is gonna pay out big if the maintinance complaints are legit. I feel terrible for her, but had she not panicked, she could have smashed the fans running the unit and likely survived.

I hadn't read anything that said she was there alone. Just that she was found by store employees.

I wonder why these walk in freezers don't have a second and or third safety override in place for these type of things. Like maybe a kill switch for the freezer motors. Some type of telephone patch like stores have under the counter that alerts police or EMS. Too much technology exists in our world today for something as terrible as this to happen.

So that's where they get the roast beef from...
Posted on 6/2/23 at 11:13 am to Shanegolang
Because they have an emergency lock release thats located right by the door on the inside. Turn it and the whole lock mechanism drops off the front of the cooler/freezer and the door easily seings open. I’ve installed countless walk-ins across the south.
