Bathing at Burger King

If you’ve eaten at the Burger King on Orange Street in Xenia, Ohio, you were served by some really, really clean workers. Why are they clean? Because they’ve been taking bubble baths in the store sink!

A four-minute video posted on MySpace.com 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.

    The county health commissioner, Mark McDonnel's first reaction was "OMG"? Life must be weird in Xenia.

    i live in dayton, which is right next to xenia, and let me tell you johnny cat-- they is sum speshul peeple up der. for some reason all the white-trash good-for-nothings moved to xenia and decided to raise families... my friend grew up there and she said i would not believe how trashy that place is. just to give an example of how "family friendly" they are-- when walking home from elementary/junior high school, she always passed an all-male prison. as she walked, the prisoners would be playing basketball outside and would hootNholler at her and her friends. a large majority of their parents were alcoholics or drug addicts. i'm pretty sure xenia is where the term "wife-beater" was coined for white tank tops. they're about due for another dabilitating tornado...

    That's why you don't hire people with tattoos.

    Yes, of course ted, all people with tattoos are irresponsible schmucks.

    He had legs and arms too, so following ted's reasoning to whit

    ipso facto pepto bismol, you shouldn't hire the belimbed either.

    When I first heard about this I thought about my own local BK.. And all the young kids working there and the "older kids" that appeared to be in charge of the place.. But this manager is an actual adult. I wonder if she was surprised when they canned her..

    OMG, fired from Burger King? How will they ever get their lives back together and become productive, responsible citizens again?

    Oh, I guess that's not really an issue here.

    I don't get the whole "throwing utensils away" thing. The dude took a bath, it's not like he somehow blasted bacteria deep into tiny crevices in the utensils, or exposed them to radiation so they are permanently contaminated.

    I'm sure its to convince people reading about it that everything is safe and clean. Gotta move those Whoppers.

    Why would he even think that shit is funny? I mean, obviously they're pretty young, but dude, it's a sink, and it's at BURGER KING!! I mean, we all found out it's his birthday and all, but uh, do you really wanna go out smelling like industrial sanitizer on your birthday???

    I used to a take baths in the laundry sinks at summer camp. They only had showers and it got cold at night. A hot bath was a great way to warm up. I was pretty light and small for my age, so I don't think it did any harm. This guy at Burger King creeps me out. Imagine all the stuff that goes on that they don't get on video.

    I have several tattoos and loving them. I am a lawyer with steady income and family. I don't bath in the sink, but best of all, I am not prejudice like some of you here who generalize tattooed people with bad things. What makes you think you are a better person than me, just because you don't dig tattoos?

    AUUUUGH I LIVE IN XENIA.

    Half of it is really creepy-backwater like that, and half of it is super nice people. Such a weird place to live, but it's nice.

    Xenia, Ohio is one of the great white trash capitals of America. Well, let's not be prejudice here, let's go ahead and throw in all the other races living in that town. Let's face it, it's Loserville, USA.
