Burger King Worker Bathes in Utility Sink
XENIA, Ohio (Aug. 12) - Burger King Corp. said Tuesday it has parted ways with an employee who was recorded taking a soapy bath in the restaurant's utility sink. The nearly four-minute video, which was posted Thursday on MySpace.com, shows the unidentified employee taking the bath to celebrate his birthday.
Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said two employees involved in the incident were fired and another quit. She declined to identify the employees or say whether the man who took the bath quit or was fired.
The sink is used to clean large pieces of equipment, said Greene Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell. Bacteria or viruses on the skin could have potentially contaminated equipment, but there have been no reports of any customers becoming ill.
McDonnell said he dispatched an inspector to the restaurant, but at that point the restaurant had sterilized the sink.
Miami-based Burger King, the nation's No. 2 hamburger chain, said in a statement that it also disposed of all kitchen tools and utensils used in the incident and is retraining the staff in health and sanitation procedures.

yeah I saw that yesterday. I've seen and witnessed worse. :-\
I'm a little scared to go to BK now. *Shudders*
Wow, I would never thought that anyone would do that at a fast food place :-\
so, the employee was taking a bath to celebrate their birthday... anyone else wondering if this was their yearly bath? how dirty are some of the people you see working at fast food places?
how much soap goes through that sink year as well? god, the sink isn't as filthy as you think because a guy bathes in there once a year.
