British sandwich chain Pret A Manger has been fined over $1 million after one of its employees got trapped in a freezer and was forced to use croissant boxes in an attempt to fend off hypothermia.
Westminster City Council, which investigated the incident, said the worker endured temperatures of -0.40° F (-18° C) for around two and a half hours when they got stuck in the walk-in freezer wearing just a t-shirt and jeans in July 2021.
