Video shows Burger King employee bathing in sink

XENIA, Ohio (WDTN) - Some workers at a Greene County restaurant are in hot water with the health department, after an employee took a bubble bath in a store sink.

It happened at the Burger King on Orange Street in Xenia.

A four-minute video posted on MySpace captured the employee, self-described as Mr. Unstable, bathing nude in a large stainless steel sink as several other employees and a store manager looked on.

The video began making its rounds on the Internet Monday morning. One of the recipients was Greene County Health Commissioner, Mark McDonnell.

"My first thought was oh my god," said McDonnell.

McDonnell immediately sent staff to restaurant to investigate the numerous health code violations.

He said the restaurant was aware of the incident and had already taken steps to clean up, including disposing of all the utensils and sanitizing the sink twice.

All of the employees involved were fired.

"You can't account for everyone's stupid actions but when things do happen if you respond to it and take the appropriate action that's reassuring," McDonnell said.

Some Burger King patrons don't agree.

"That's just, it's wrong it's a place where families come to eat and them taking a bath in the sink that's just not work ethic," said Crystal Dodge, who said she used to eat at Burger King all the time.

2News reporter Megan O'Rourke went to the Xenia Burger King Monday afternoon looking for comment, but was met at the door by an employee who asked her to leave and referred comment to Burger King's corporate office.

Burger King spokesperson Denise Wilson emailed the following statement to 2News Monday afternoon:

"Burger King Corp. was just notified of this incident and is cooperating fully with the health department. We have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident.

We have also taken appropriate corrective action on the employees that were involved in this video. Additionally, the remaining staff at this restaurant is being retrained in health and sanitation procedures."

But for diners like Crystal, it may be too little, too late.

"That's just disgusting. I wouldn't want to eat here after I heard something like that, that's just not appropriate for employment," Dodge said.

"This kind of stunt really is a black eye for the restaurant itself."

Health Department officials plan to talk with prosecutors to see if any criminal charges will be filed, but they don't have any plans to issue fines at this time.

"I don't know. I didn't go into Burger King."

Bathing in the restaurant sink? Yep. That's a firin'.

I was about to turn off the video when they showed that the manager was in the building at the time! I assumed this was some middle of the night giddy prank. Unbelievable.

Burger King has always been at the bottom of my list of fast food joints. Okay there was a brief time in the 80's when they had mini-burgers and their onion rings were decent, but that was a long time ago. I find they are usually understaffed and the burgers taste like they've been sitting hunder a heat lamp for a loong time.

Ok...

(A) It never should have hapened. But...it did.
(B) Burger King has already taken every possible corrective measure, including sanitizing the sink, replacing kitchen utensiles and firing those that were involved. (some people truly are to stupid for fast food job) Those emplyoees that are left are being retrained in health and sanitation procedures.
(C) This Crystal Dodge thinks that more ought to be done. What, exactly, would she like to be done, that hasn't already? Seriously.

Dumbasses.

At least they don't call in boyfirends to strip search teenage employees like McDonalds.

Shut it down! Close it up!!

Fast-food jobs suck. They aren't a career, really. Even management must stuck pretty badly. You can't really do much to outright avoid shenanigans such as these when there is low job satisfaction and commitment. Immaturity can easily run rampant in places like these. Imagine the kind of things that go on without the public knowing. Now enjoy your own home-cooked food.

Read the Mount Washington portion of the entry. I saw the news story on television. It was appalling to see the nasty-ass manager defend her even nastier ass boyfriend. Too bad for him there was a video camera on the wall.

When the story came out, I hoped that at least the worker was either guilty of stealing or .... I don't know, a slut. Not that that would make it right. She was actually a very wholesome virgin Mennonite girl.

Was there bacon taped to the wall?

Update: the "bather", the shift manager, and the guy filming... were all fired. Charges initiated by Burger King and the local health department are pending investigation.

I've done much worse on or around a kitchen sink, maybe some utinesils were involved.... I felt no need to replace said items.

cool.. I was there in 1974 - 75. Did you have to mix your own milkshakes too? That was the worst station to be on as depending on how tall you were, you would get shake spray across your chest or your face...

CinnamonGirl · 08-13-2008, 03:17 PM

I saw this on the news the night before last. I think they interviewed the guy last night...but I fell asleep.

Anyway, maybe it's because I don't eat there...or because I work in food service... but this doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I mean, yeah, it was immature and silly... but it seems very tame compared to things I've seen and heard about.

Charlatan · 08-13-2008, 04:12 PM

A little bleach should clean that up just nice.

I don't get why the silly bitch manager got 1.1mill in compensation, despite this part:
