Once again, an online video spells trouble for some workers.
Recently, a video turned up on MySpace that showed an employee taking a soapy bath in a large sink at a Burger King.
The nearly four-minute video shows the apparently naked man taking a bath to celebrate his birthday. The man refers to himself as “Mr. Unstable.”
Timothy Tackett told WDTN-TV in Dayton, OH, that he was the man in the video, which has been taken off the Web by MySpace.
Tackett says he and two other employees — the person shooting the video and the shift manager — were all fired by Burger King.
A county health inspector was dispatched to the restaurant. Workers had already sterilized the sink, which is used to clean large pieces of equipment.
