Burger King Bath: Worker Fired for Bubble Bath in Food Sink

Burger King Bath: Worker Fired for Bubble Bath in Food Sink

A Burger King employee in Ohio has been fired for taking a bubble bath in a sink at the restaurant and posting it on YouTube. The employee, who has a Mohawk haircut and numerous tattoos, calls himself "Mr. Unstable."

The employee at the Xenia, Ohio Burger King is seen on a four-minute video bathing naked in the sink as several employees and a manager look on. Supposedly all the employees involved were fired as well as the bather. And what in the world was the manager thinking... that this was some kind of morale-building team-bonding experience?

Burger King says that the sink has been sanitized twice and that all the utensils used were disposed of.

When Burger King commericals say "Have it your way," I don't think this is what they had in mind.

@Idlewild: Aren't Big Finals

@Idlewild: Aren't Big Finals and term-papers more-often on the 'trainer's' minds? That's typically the way people get into higher management, I think; not by being an extra-shiny example of wonderful leadership in the wage-positions, but doing bare sufficiency there while gaining hyper-qualifying schooling and then either being promoted there or jumping over wage-levels somewhere else! ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of stars like Tori Spelling, Fussin`, Vanessa Montagne & Lena Li--Xombie Plan

Adds new meaning to "Have it your way"

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us... I hope there aren't a string of copycat bathings at fast-food outlets after this incident.

Condiments R Us

I'm not sure which is more frightening: the fact that so many condiments exist, or that someone thought it a worthy task to assemble photos of all of them...

Chicken sandwich vs. the egg

Well, the trainers presumably have more at stake than the entry-level workers, because the trainers are part of management and are one step along the noble sevenfold path to fast-food enlightenment and riches that go far beyond minimum wage. If the trainers didn't train the trainees properly, then they should be sacked. But that raises the question, how many trainees could a training trainer train if a trainer could train trainees?

Stay away from the special sauce

As news of this incident spreads throughout Xenia, the franchisee and management of the BK are going to be hard-pressed to regain the public's trust that their food is clean. Until they can prove their food is clean, I'd stay away from the special sauce on their burgers. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

@Idlewild: Vicious Cycle of Buck-Passing

I was gonna say, 'Maybe it was the trainers who weren't paying enough attention to the trainees when they were doing the training,' but then I thought, 'Yeah, but what kind of attention must the trainers have been paying when they were only trainees?' And then I thought, 'Yeah, but maybe it was ...' Chicken v Egg, ~ja?~ ... signed, Uncle MythMan---Big Fan of stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Vanessa Montagne & Lena Li---Xombie Plan

@Mythman - Training it out

"I would; but there's somethin` on TV I'm gonna watch instead ..." That's apparently what some restaurant workers have decided... they tuned out instead of paying attention to the cleanliness training they got at work!

@Idlewild: So Why Isn't There Training for That?

If only the immune system was strong enough

to defeat all the bugs like E. coli, etc. ... then restaurants wouldn't need to have signs in the restrooms in five languages that say "Employees must wash hands before returning to work."
