Burger King employee fired for bath in utility sink

BEIJING, Aug. 13 (Chinese medianet) -- Posting a video of

yourself taking a bath in a utility sink of the Burger King Corp. restaurant

where you workon your MySpace page is a good way to lose your job.

Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said earlier Tuesday

that two employees involved in the incident were fired and a third quit.

That's what happened to Timothy Tackett, 25, of

Centerburg, Ohio, after the nearly 4-minute video to celebrate his birthday

appeared online lastThursday. In the video, shot by another

worker,Tackett refers to himself only as "Mr. Unstable" and appears to be

naked.

Not only was Tackett fired, but also the employee who

took the video and the restaurant's shift manager.

Wilsondeclined to identify the employees or say

whether the man who took the bath quit or was fired. Tackett said he was

fired.

Greene County Health Commissioner Mark McDonnell said

he dispatched an inspector to the restaurant, but workers had already sterilized

the sink, which is used to clean large pieces of equipment.
