Six New York City residents are exhibiting signs of E. coli food poisoning after eating at local Taco Bells, the Department of Health said yesterday.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

The current health scare isn’t just hitting customers in their stomachs — it’s hitting employees in their wallets.<\/p>\n

“Basically, a lot of people have been cut; it’s really unfortunate,” said a manager at a Long Island Taco Bell, who asked not to be identified because of a gag order the food chain has put on its workers.<\/p>\n

“For example, I have a single mother who has two kids. I had to cut her because I don’t have any hours — and it’s right before Christmas. I just feel Taco Bell is being punished for something they had no control over.”<\/p>\n

The source said that employees eat the food, and none has gotten sick so far.<\/p>\n

The source said the 40 restaurants on Long Island are down to just a trickle of customers — mostly those who haven’t heard of the E. coli scare. That revenue stream doesn’t even come close to covering salaries or overhead.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
